on the needles now...


Here's what I'm currently working on: the kusha kusha scarf from habu textiles (http://www.habutextiles.com/webfile/kit-78.html) It's pretty frustrating going because the yarn is so thin and slippery. I tried to knit it with dpns, but it kept slipping off the back end. It's rough because I have to pay so much attention to it while knitting Despite the frustration, the yarn is actually kinda neat: one of the strands has a stainless steel core so it has a "memory" and stays in whatever shape you want. That doesn't really make sense, but I tried to demonstrate with this picture:

What are you all working on?

sorry to disappoint, but i think i'm starting with the more manly task of leatherwork.

RJ, I think you missed the part where I'm knitting with stainless steel. Take that, leatherwork.
