Brave or Crazy? You Decide!

I'm considering tackling this as my next knitting project. Am I...

Knit more animals for mabfan!

two simple words:

Cunning. Hat.

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Ooh, good idea. Need yarn, but I have the pattern.

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[eal.livejournal.com]

Um, finish the piece that you're writing with your lovely and semi-talented coauthor so she can have her baby in peace. :) Well, relative peace anyway.

It looks like a lovely thing-with-button-eyes. You have the technical skills to make it, so watch your tension carefully, mark off lines on a printout, and go for it.

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Well, yes. That's a given. :-)

And, for the record, my coauthor is extremely talented and is, more often than not, the brains of the organization.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. There's something about it being a 12-page pattern that I'm finding extremely intimidating.

[twitch124.livejournal.com]

It's 12 pages because they're doing a lot of fiddly increases and decreases to give the thingy cartoon muscles in its legs and tail. The overall shape of it is pretty clear from the stitch number they give you to check at the end of each line. It is a whole lot of fiddly stitches, but they're fiddly stitches you can do.

[eal.livejournal.com]

You have to say that. :)

Hey! Go for it!

[nwl.livejournal.com]

Well, why not? Pick projects that you like and go for it! Brave!

After you've made your 'gator and finished your sweaters, I suggest crochet. It's just as fun as knitting and easier to demolish if you screw up your stitches.

[Unless it's eyelash yarn. Eyelash yarn is the devil.]

I think you should knit a platypus and a dish of ravioli (don't laugh! kateyule has done it!).

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

I have a platypus pattern (and plans to make it), and I have a pattern for sushi but not for ravioli. I should look for a ravioli knitting pattern.

(We are fond of platypi here in Chez mabfan and gnomi.)

Thanks for the confidence booster!

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

I've done some crochetting in the past, but I never really got into it the way I've gotten addicted to knitting. I'll give it another go, though, at some point, since many of my friends are crocheters.

[scarlettina.livejournal.com]

Platypi! Heee!

[arib.livejournal.com]

If I were to arrange for or provide yarn, would that be considered a comission? :-)

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Why, yes. I do believe it would. :-)
