I'll send you an e-mail.<BR/><BR/>I've tried that wrapping trick, but it's a bit of a pain to wrap 100 times. ;)<BR/><BR/>About the Koigu, I'm guessing some places got on the list before they got overloaded, and the new places are out of luck.

But my mom's LYS (about 20 miles from here) somehow keeps a ton of koigu around (maybe they just ordered a whole lot more than most places or something). I just wish local places would order the solid colors; seems like no one did and I was trying to avoid ordering online.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9226023.post-1117338610018718082005-05-28T22:50:00.000-05:002005-05-28T22:50:00.000-05:00two things: i have some white yarn, but it's baby ...two things: i have some white yarn, but it's baby yarn, so it has those glimmery/shiny bits in it... you're welcome to it. it's probably a light worsted weight acrylic (i think it's some LB baby yarn).<BR/><BR/>as for the knitting -- one trick I learned is that if you know how many stitches are in a row, you can wrap your yarn around the needle as many times as stitches you need to make and that approximates how much yarn you need to knit/purl that row. sounds like your method works just as well though!! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
