Lace projects, freshly washed and blocked for example. But how can you be mad at something so cute?

I even watched that Football film he was in cos he was in it.<br /><br />For xmas my sis bought me a copy of a book about the new Sharpe films.

The other thing that *really* helps with them is to have sharp needle tips. I also managed to figure out a way to sort of hold an extra-loose yarnover on my needle for the nupps, which made catching them again on the following row much easier. Keep going, if for no reason than you'll be so happy when you're done with them. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18003007.post-2916512273875089482007-01-16T03:11:00.000+00:002007-01-16T03:11:00.000+00:00I'm knitting nupps too, and with lace weight.

Then slip the needle into the space created and remove the pin. Don't remove the stitches from the left needle until you are sure that you've successfully pulled the yarn through with the right needle.<br /><br />Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
