Looks good! Found your blog through the Ravelry Half Medalion Crochet Along. I have my yarn, I have my hooks, I have not made my gauge swatch. I usually ignore that step. I don’t think I can/should this time. I like the bags you have made. And how you started sewing with Rizzo. I never thought of naming my sewing machine. May need to.

Hi, thanks for the information about the difference between the regular Addi’s & the lace Addi’s. Want to order the circular Addi’s for magic loop knitting for socks, & didn’t know whether I wanted the lace Addi’s or the regular Addi’s.
Thanks for the information.

Hi, I used two circulars the whole time, so this is just a guess, but I would say that once you felt uncomfortable working on one circular needle (because no matter how long it is, unless you’re using the Denise interchangeable needles or some other similar system where you can keep increasing the length of your circular, you’re going to run out of room on one circular needle), you should switch. You’d switch to the second circular needle it at the beginning of your third section.

I’d never before knit on two circular needles before starting this project. I got a little confused in the beginning and worked with the wrong needle more than once, meaning that all of my stitches ended up on the same needle, but now I’ve realized that each end of the same needle will point in the same direction, and that I should only knit with the needles that point the same way. So the ends of the circular needle containing sections 1 and 2 pointed to the right, and the ends of the circular needle containing sections 3 and 4 pointed to the left. I’ll add some (older) pictures of the blanket to this post, to show what I mean. It gets harder to see in images once the stitch count climbs past 500…

Hi there,

I’m working on this blanket pattern now and having a difficult time figuring out how to knit with two circulars; in fact, I started over about 4 times and just went with DPNs for a while, switched to a shorter circ and now am on one long circ. How does the second circ come in? Any suggestions?

I am very upset at the lack of updates to this site. I am an avid reader and am very upset that it’s been 12(!!!) days since your last update. How am I supposed to follow your progress?!?! I am seriously considering taking my knitting blog-reading business to another site, and I expect a full refund in the amount of $0.00 or chocolate-chocolate chip cookies. Cookies would be preferred.

Thank you for reading, and have a nice day.
