Mine does the same thing - even if I'm on the other end of the leash!<br /><br />I have no idea how to knit, but I used to crochet lace - a LONG time ago. Knitting's harder, isn't it? And if you have any socks that are, I don't know, seconds? You can send them my way - I don't mind orange toes either.

...All lace loos like crap until it's finished.<br /><br />Use markers to denote pattern repeats. It makes it MUCH easy to keep track that way, and find missing/extra stitches, and PUT IN A LIFE LINE So you only have to rip back to the lifeline (and you can, the yarn will forgive you), and all the stitches can be picked by from the life line.<br /><br />Love Austin.Tiny Tyranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031413994983179463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908127.post-62866259412117426832010-02-16T13:03:44.987-05:002010-02-16T13:03:44.987-05:00PUPPY!!!!!!!
