Knitting is such a wonderful way to create beauty for my math brain
/u/Clear-Tale7275,
Growing up, I had a friend who could draw pictures that actually looked like what she was drawing.

My gift was my ability with math, which led me to a career in finance.Knitting…

Vuosaari socks
Shinysideup,

Anyone buy yarn off EBay?
luciamia,
I’m looking at the super bulku lopi called joklalopi. It is fairly difficult to find at a good price point so I decided to look and found quite a few seller in the US. Hmmm… I have asthma and smoke, mold and chemicals like Febreeze are serious triggers for me. Given that, what do you think?

Is this a good book to learn how to knit beyond basic scarves?
/u/chizubeetpan,
.. Found this in my family’s library today. It’s never been used apparently (no one knits and no one knows who owns it). I’m learning to knit and while YouTube is a lifesaver I was wondering if learning to read patterns with this book is ok or is it too out of date (copyright is 1947)?Was reading one …
