schrodingerskat asked: For the tumbler (tumblrer?) who asked about tutorial sites - I LURVE the lessons section at knitpicks.com. Tons and tons of lessons and a lot of them have videos, too. I'm a self taught knitter and these gals are so helpful.

Go to your library and check out Debbie Stoller's "Stitch and Bitch" :)
As a crocheter, you might find "continental" knitting easier, but in the end, all that matters is how the stitch looks, not by which means it ended up on your needles. Though learning a "conventional" way will make it easier for others to teach...

Sometimes when I have too much time on my hands, I start thinking about blog postings that I plan on writing…. sad but true :) haha. While on vacation last week, I got to thinking about this one and all the emotional speeds of knitting (or crocheting if you will). Have you ever noticed how little…
Excellent analysis!
electrickitten asked: The pink dress is indeed yarn. It is entitled "The Elizabeth" by knitted textile artist Jemma Sykes.
