You could make yarn holsters and have knitting showdowns at high noon!
LOL. Those already exist, though they aren't called holsters. There are plenty of project bags that have a strap so you can attach it to your belt or hang it from your wrist. Very handing for standing in line.
Here's that shawl I made for me mum for Christmas.
She likes it very much. As for a fastener, I bought a really cute butterfly hair clamp at the store and it works just fine. A lot cheaper than a shawl pin.
Oooh, looks cozy! I just unpinned the shawl I made for Pete's mum from the blocking boards. Haven't uploaded pics of it yet. I figure if she doesn't wear it, at least Kitty will have a super nice bed.
I currently only have two books, Stitch 'N Bitch Nation and Amigurumi World. Recently, Eskimimi Knits talked about knitting/crochet books from The Harmony Guides.
I just bought knit & purl: 250 stitches to knit, and I am geeking out over all the awesome stitches in this book. I want to knit them all. If anything, it will help me make patterns for the hats I'm going to be donating.
You want to knit the very best, like no hat ever was? To knit them is your real test, to donate them is your cause?
She will travel, across the net, browsing far and wide, each knitting pattern, to understand, the crafting that's inside.
(Knitting Ro!) It's yarn and she! To knit is her Destiny! (Knitting Ro!) Oohh, for all her friends, she'll knit scarves from end to end! (Knitting Ro!) Oooh, her yarn so pure... no effort to pull them through! You teach me; I'll knit for you! KNITTING RO!!!! (Gotta Knit 'em All!) Gotta Knit 'em All... KNITTING RO!
Thanks for starting that Gunter; that was fun to write!
That's what I got a first, but I was having trouble getting the yarn back from the thin bit back onto the needle proper. I've been using KnittingHelp and KnittingAbout with youtube supplements. I don't think knitting.com exists anymore cause this is what it gives me: The big problem I've run into now is that after the first row it ends up being quite a bit more stitches than it ought to be. That and I'm not sure what to do with the tail from the long-tail cast on.

How many more stitches exactly? Do you put your work down in the middle of doing the row?
Double I think. I'll take an exact count if I mess up again this go. Haven't been taking breaks between rows, don't trust myself to remember where I was.
EDIT: Figured out what I was doing wrong. I wasn't switching the working yarn back and forth when I was switching from knit to purl.

Ah, so you were making accidental yarnovers. Yep, that'll double your stitches all right! Circular needles can be tough for beginners. It took me awhile to get teh hang of getting the stitches from the cable back onto the needle.
As for the tail from the cast on, leave it dangling. You can weave it in at the end of the project.
Hey nuri, did you have an online store for your yarns? I can't seem to find anything thicker than sported down here in and if you have some, since I'm going to have to buy it online, I'd rather my money go to someone I know at least in a forum than a complete stranger.

Please buy some of my girlfriend's yarn so it won't live in my living room this summer!
That's right, it's passed the 9th! Time to buy moar yarn!
I mostly want to buy sock yarn.
Edit: Bought Sockolate Mousse in Tequila Sunrise and Raze the Sky. I'm getting my smaller needles from Knit Picks tomorrow. I look forward to making socks, however I have a project or two ahead of it.
Ro is a gigantic yarn hoar. She is also going to LOVE the MCN she is going to get in the mail very soon and will become a soft fiber snob, never again to be able to appreciate cheap yarn. Oh, a real tragedy this is!
Could requests be made for Nuri yarns?
Yes, what would you like? Tell me what you are looking for, and I'll tell you what I can do. At the moment I would have to order more of my yarn bases to custom dye anything other than sock weight MCN, but if you want a significant number of skeins (like 4 or more) then that should be do-able. I also have some stuff that expired from the store and isn't up anymore, but still available for sale.

I can't help it. I love having yarn. It's an obsession that will never end.
Yes, it will be a tragedy on my bank account. But good for you!
I'm already starting to not like the Lion Brand Wool-Ease I got, but it's better than Red Heart Super Saver.
Did you sell all the Water Tribe yarn? I was looking to possibly buy some of those. I would like some blue, yellow, and purple colors.
This is a hypothetical future thing. I want to finish what I've started so far and figure out if I want to stick with this first. A fewoftheones you've done already look to be along the lines of what I'd be looking for.
@Ruffas: That's no problem, as long as I have enough lead time and info on what you want.

I still have the Luscious and Sockolate Mousse Water Tribe yarns, I believe. Have a paper due at midnight, but tomorrow I can get you some pics of some purple yarn I have if you want.

Sure whenever you can. Much appreciated.
Edit: Oh mans, I have a new cross-stitch pattern that I'm making for someone. It's all kinds of awesome, but can't post it here until it's done and delivered. Just fyi. :P
I got the right side and wrong side mixed up ~12 rows back. I'm not sure if I want to try and go back and fix it or chalk it up as a first knitting quirk.

@Ruffas,
Were you using circular needles? Are you using knitting.com to help? Best online tutorials evar!

I got a few more circulars, a longer cable cord, 6" DPNs in the smallest sizes for sock knitting, and a few other DPNs.
I haz happy.
