SSS

-
Stepanie Pearl-McPhee, The Yarn Harlot
refers to SSS in her book
"At Knit's End
- Meditations for Women who Knit Too Much"

SSS: an abbreviation referring to the crippling and common knitter's affliction known as Second Sock Syndrome.

I'd like to ad "Second Sleeve Syndrome" to that.........

I'm working on the second sleeve of Gerda -- and I'm trying to do it right this time.

I'm almost there........watch for my update on how a little effort while knitting saves you a lot of time and aggravation later!

    I'm right with you on that one! I'd much rather do a second sock than a second sleeve!

    Hi Anne!!! I'm sorry that you weren't at the Frolic, but I'm glad that I found your blog. Gerda looks great - exp. with the ends done in.

    ? - Are the sizes for Fair Rosamund (on SEK) 'to fit' sizes to finished sizes?

    I am so with you on this one. I have a sweater I started a year ago. Why is it not done? Because I have 20" of moss stitch to knit on each sleeve!
    ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Bead Whimsey with Sivia Harding That was the name of the class that I took at the Toronto Knitters Frolic.  I have attended many workshops in my time, so it takes a special workshop to catch my attention. Do you know her? I have to admit, I wasn't aware of Sivia's work until it was announced that she was the special guest for the Frolic.
