Hi All

When last our works in progress thread ended. It was discovered that when changing colors Triss ties knots and Jane does not. Triss' concern is that it will fall apart.

Jane replies -- "Triss, I've never had one fall apart and it's so hard to know where to put the knot
I bury most of my threads that way. I actually embrace that part. It's a zen almost done thing. God Bless Aunt Lu - to her it was the only way!"

To this Triss then responds (laughing so hard it's hard to type - I'm sure) --

"I have never had one fall apart either but the lady who taught me to crochet showed all us girls how it could be done when she told us how important knots were. So I use them.


So, it turns out while I being trained by Yoda she was being trained by ObiWan!!!

You know... I am laughing so hard -- especially when I remember what an uptight type A Aunt Lu was.... Of course there were no knots!

So which is it ladies.. To Knot or Not to Knot that is the question....

I do knot, because I am afraid that the item will come undone.

psssst - Jane!
Should I be insulted that you took away my credit in the last thread?

oh...it's gone girl

Triss had to be cracking up when she send her reply... it's too funny!

That is the question?

Whether 'tis nobler in the yarn to suffer the knots and tangles of outrageous hooking?

Or to take arms against a chain of slipstitches, and by opposing, join them?

To dye? To weave?......NO MORE!

thorny... Truly laugnhing my hiney off...
But, you didn't answer the question -- Did you? :huh:

I ALWAYS knot when I knit and Crochet.

And I LOVE Shakespeare.......ESPECIALLY Hamlet!

And on the subject of loving Shakespeare AND birds, Here is a picture someone in England took of a Magpie on the wall of the church where Shakespeare is buried and sent to me.

MAGPIE AT SHAKESPEARE'S TOMB


"For with this sleep of Death, what dreams may come."

Oh my goodness, I am laughing once again!! Too darn funny Jane.

What is also funny is that the neighborhood "grandma" who taught all of us was as far an opposite from your "uptight type A Aunt Lu" could be. Beyond free spirited so maybe she used knots to ground herself.

Yup... It's too funny to me too!

And the coolest part of all -- neither of our blankets are unraveling!!
