Comments on: What I’ve been up to… http://knittingtraditions.com/blog/2010/12/what-ive-been-up-to/ Beth Brown-Reinsel's musings on traditional knitting everywhere Thu, 25 Apr 2013 23:00:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: bethknits http://knittingtraditions.com/blog/2010/12/what-ive-been-up-to/#comment-200 bethknits Mon, 13 Dec 2010 20:26:13 +0000 http://knittingtraditions.wordpress.com/?p=803#comment-200 Thanks! As with all things, I wish I had said a bit more. Especially to clarify that for handspinners, worsted preparation only requires combing. In industry, carding and then combing is the norm. Hope I don’t get a lot of flak for that fuzzy explanation. Being in front of the camera does things to one’s perspective, tongue–there’s a disconnect between them and what one says.

Thanks for the hurrah, Sandra!

Beautifully done! I just had to stop and give you a big “hurrah” for the explanation of worsted vs woollen; it’s so critical to choosing the best yarn for the job! Now, back to the show….. (:

And that you like the new computer. I’ll be eagerly watching the mail for my DVD! I’m sure it’s going to be worth all your trouble.

And you are totally right–Having stuff to organize is infinitely better than having nothing at all to organize! I really am grateful, in a curmudgeon sort of way.

Organizing stuff is better than not having anything to organize.

A project at 54 sts/4″! That sounds lovely — about the gauge of Sanquhar. I’ll have to put it in my queue.
