Good Technique

Woo Hoo! The library secured a copy of Twined Knitting and I picked it up the other day. Talk about a rich history. I think in the long run I'm going to use this technique more often than double knitting to make warm hats and such. Reading about the tradition through hundreds of years and seeing the artifacts uncovered has made me fall in love with twined knitting. I want to tend sheep in the mountains wearing a wadmal bodice waste coat with knitted sleeves and drink hot tea by the fireplace at night in a stone cottage.

Knit has been happening but not every day. The twined hat is getting close and I'll probably work a few rounds when I'm done typing.
