Does Decadence REALLY knit up at 3.5 sts on 9-11 needles? Is there ANY chance you could consider it a heavy worsted instead of a bulky??
JULIE! Knitpicks Decadence
'kay … I’m just running through the posts w/out replies right now, and I ran across this, and I’m assuming you were asking the other Julie, right??? Cause I ain’t never used this yarn afore.
Did you get your answer?
Why yes, as a matter of fact I think it could be considered heavy worsted, if memory serves me. Let me go swatch it, though, and get back to you.
Julie –
I’d hold off on that swatch … did you see the date of Kelly’s original post? It was way back in November. She may not need to know anymore. I was just trying to stir up trouble.
:roflhard: :roflhard: :roflhard:
How on earth did I miss a post with my name in big capital letters???
FWIW, on US8s I got 4 sts/inch – kind of a dense fabric though.
Well, apparently it wasn’t overly important to her 'cause she didn’t follow up on it. And, yeah, that’s what caught my attention, too! But I miss so much out here, that it’s not even funny. I pretty much only look at posts that I get email notifcations on, and then occasionally I get to come out and look at other stuff, which is what I was doing today.
So, should we just completely nap this thread and start talking about something completely off the wall?
:?? I can’t think of anything completely off the wall. Oh, I know … rugs … rugs are completely off the wall. Unless, of course, you use them as wall hangings.
:roflhard:
Hey, did you see my post in the spinning thread? We kool-aid dyed yarn on Wednesday. Veeeery fun!
Have you ever knit a rug? What kind of yarn would you use? Is there such a thing as rug yarn? I know I could go look, but I was curious and I’m lazy right now. :roflhard: :roflhard:
Julie – I missed your thread, but I’ll go take a look at it. I’ve been wanting to do mine, too, but I keep putting everything off until I get this @#$* shawl done.
Jan – Cute And, by the way, I have knit a rug (but I ripped it out), and I have another one started and in my stash basket. It’s a modular one made w/ mitered squares, and I think I’m actually going to make a table runner out of it instead! So, that’s off the wall, too, isn’t it? :cheering: Oh, and here. You’ll enjoy this.
:roflhard: :roflhard: :roflhard: :roflhard: :roflhard:
I think I posted this whist researching yarns for my sweater…I hope you didnt waste much time on that swatch, Julie! And, if you did, well then, I hope the info comes in handy for someone else!
And, havent you folks learned how to threadnap yet??? All you have to say is the [color=red][size=6]B-WORD[/size][/color]!!!
ahem
BOOBIES.
That is all.
Well, of course we know how to thread-nap in the traditional and ordinary way … I was trying to be creative! :rollseyes:
tsk tsk Hildie will be disappointed, Jul…
Naaah … Hilde appreciates creativity, I just know she does.
Oh, I know, perhaps this will do it:
“The hills are aliiiiiiiiivvvveeee … with the sound of myoooooosic!”
Man, I leave the computer for a few hours and look what happens to our thread. :roflhard:
Julie, DD picked out colors for her skein and did most of the dying herself…with a little parental guidance of course…this is definitely something cool to do with the kiddos
Yet another thing I’ve postponed because of the shawl. :mad:
I. Must. Go. Finish. It. NOW!
Maybe we should make the the convergence of the Julies thread :roflhard:
:waving: Hi Julie!! Maybe we could get one of our beloved mods to rename this thread for us … Hmmm … what would a good name be? I’m too tired to be creative.
BTW … My Mom, Dad, sister & family all live in CO. Sister used to live in Parker – not too terribly far from you – but they all live up in Loveland now. (I watched the Broncos win this evening!)
I’m a horrible Coloradan since I am not a Broncos fan. :oops: Shhh, don’t tell anyone. But I am not much of a football fan either. We’ve only lived here about 3 years, I’ve really grown to love it but dh still pines for the Sierra Foothills.
Well, I’m not a big football fan, but DH has foregone all football watching this year for other obligations. So, I had to give him a day of football. He, unfortunately, is a Washington Redskins fan, and he had to watch them lose their playoff game yesterday.
There’s so much to see out there in CO … do you ski or anything???
