Nemo Swims On

By -
Nemo, another Oddball blanket, arrived late yesterday, and I added my section while watching the Olympics - Men's Figure Skating.

Before I could begin, I put the needle in a boiling water bath. The cable was incredibly twisted and deformed: it is a wonder that any of the previous knitters were able to knit with it.

    I like this blanket and the splash of orange!!

    When I used to work on the blankets, I often put the stitches on my own needles. I was able to knit a lot faster with my own tools.

    I am going to HAVE to try that water bath on my needles. I am tired of dealing with the coils and twists.

    You knit so FAST! I'm improving, but still pretty slow at it.

    Nancy,
    Can you explain what putting the needles in a boiling water bath does for your knitting.

    Thanks!
