That’s the spirit!
I hope B will tell you it’s ok and not really twisted at all…

Hey ho B has seized my wool winder and my knitting and will return it to me unravvelled and wound into balls down to wherever I went wrong…
At least it is really good wool…

I don’t think it is physically possible to go Möbius part way through a tube. If you have managed this then I imagine the IMU would be keen to have a gander. B is destroying valuable evidence.

B called and the work has been unravelled to the point of the problem
She had made an error in the first three rows of the rib
She has knit the rib back and put my stitch markers in place for me
Isn’t she wonderful?

Good that it’s fixed, bad about the wasted work.
If it is any consolation to you, the round needle in my worked simply snapped this morning! Luckily this Icelandic wool doesn’t readily unravel, but all sat there in its stitches while I cursed and then went and found a new round needle to pick them all back onto and carry on knitting.

Phew x2. Hurrah for B and for steadfast Icelandic wool.

My posh needles have a habit of unscrewing from the cable so I tighten them every few rows…
The Shetland wool I have is soft and strong but likes to unravel so I have to watch it like a hawk

I haven’t done any knitting for months because I’ve been so busy since we came here but I got deperate and gave in.

I like the yarn. What are you going to make with it?

I want something really simple so I can just pick it up wherever I am without needing the pattern. Thinking of this
The yarn is lovely and soft, not a bit scratchy so I won’t mind it round my neck.

That will work beautifully in that yarn.

You were right, it really is beautiful wool. So easy to work and the softest, least scratchy real wool I’ve ever come across. I’ll be using it again I’m sure in both the tweed and the plain colours.

I am knitting an infinity scarf in plain st st for G’s birthday
If I iron it with a wet tea towel on it will that stop it rolling up?
50 inches of alpaca lying flat in a loop when stitched together at the ends is the aim…
Not a 50 inch thing that is marginally less curled up than a British rail sandwich!

Unedged stocking stitch will curl, unfortunately, and there’s little to be done about it. Blocking will help but won’t be permanent.

Ah well at least it is wide enough that it will cover her head ears and neck despite curlique-ing
