I just finished my fingerless mitts...LOVE THEM...and the pattern was so NON sock like, I wonder if that would do it for you?Amy Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885706951931450373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25461517.post-39041973394070217972007-04-25T14:42:00.000-04:002007-04-25T14:42:00.000-04:00STR..I'm soooooooooooo jealous!

Don't know how practical that would be...seems you'd have a running stand up the back where you are carrying the yarn each row. <BR/>But, hey..it's str!...maybe that's the skein you knit over and over just for the 'fondling' effects? eheheh..sorry, guess I'm not much help today...but if you're not happy with that skein..toss it my way! eheheheh...I'll promise to take really good care of it!heheheh...<BR/>I guess you could rewind it and start from the other end and see if that works better for you.<BR/>oh, and the YH is gifted...I missed that line she was in when it was handed out.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13601926981102367271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25461517.post-60732008830774083132007-04-25T11:50:00.000-04:002007-04-25T11:50:00.000-04:00Switching needles won't affect the pooling that mu...Switching needles won't affect the pooling that much. You might want to try the Jaywalkers pattern, I understand that was designed specifically for STR to avoid the problems you're having.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710658334966849773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25461517.post-84954951273455743562007-04-25T10:59:00.000-04:002007-04-25T10:59:00.000-04:00I'm glad you're feeling better.

I've seen some yarn that pools at the start, then turns into stripes. Keep playing with it.Saren Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947975330333922217noreply@blogger.com
