One hump or two?

OMgosh, Aaron ;) I measure like that also when working someone else's pattern... why DO we torture ourselves so? Noreen

The song lacks rhythm when sung at 4 verses per hour? : )

I., e.,:

236 rounds to go, 236 rounds to go, cast one on, knit it around, 235 rounds to go. . .

(sung to 99 bottles of beer!)

Does anyone have actual knitting patterns in verse or song or other verbal mnemonic?

I like the 236 rounds to go sung to the 99 bottles of beer tune.... don't know of any songs, but there was a little poem about knitting, something about jack and around the back, over the fence, etc... but that's ummmm over forty years ago. Noreen

And herre i thought we were discussing Camels ,,,, Not all camels` wools are good for knitting . mirjam

Like Mongolian camels dat weave der wool along side of the road? : ) (think not PC)

PC as in politically correct or PC as in personal computer? running and ducking cuz I KNOW what you meant! Noreen who is about the most pIc person she knows.

Always choose the "lesser of two weevils"!

In the Garden of Weeden??? Noreen

In the British Navy per "Master and Commander" - a movie well worth seeing.

Aaron

Wish I could get to the top of the hell, er, hill that is the shawl I'm working on. I spent most of today trying to figure out why I was one stitch short on one half of the shawl. Finally determined I dropped a YO from the previous right-side row, had to tink and reknit AGAIN.

Seems like I'm knitting each row three times to get it right - and it shouldn't be this difficult!

Reply to the list as I do not publish an email address to USENET. This practice has cut my spam by more than 95%. Of course, I did have to abandon a perfectly good email account...

I have No idea what you write here ??? We have the One Hump kind in the south, We also have a group of scientists , in Beer-Sheba University who are experts on all kinds of Camel products ,, did you know One can`t make cheese from their milk , But A wonderful Iceream "Camelida " Local Camels wools is only good for rugs it is too Coarse ,,, mirjam

Wooly when this thing happens the second time ,,, it is a sign to put work on side and do something else for a while ,,, than come back with fresh mind ,......mirjam

The Gallop rule does not hold for lace?

I can assure you that I am Appling it liberally to my Gansey. If they find me bobbing in the surf, they will say, "Yep, that's Aaron! Look at those moss diamond repeats, he never could count."

Some persons with an accent would pronounce "weave" as "leave" (as in on a thorn bush) so it was a very bad pun.

Bye the way, did you know that camel's milk goes very well with dates? (Living on dates makes one constipated, while the camels milk is a very good laxative. The combination is a great gift from God (or at least better than those plastic pouches of MEALS, READY TO EAT that had been sitting in the desert for few months, and we had been eating for months : )

The soft stuff for knitting yarn is from the other kind of camel. Aaron

I thought dates would be laxitative (?) like raisins and prunes. Learn something new.

Yes Dates are very laxative ,,, abd Grandeapples stop this ... mirjam
