I knew I shoulda taken pics of my Halloween outfit

patgund just pointed me to one of the new patterns up at Knitty. I'd seen an email that the Winter issue was up, but hadn't gone to see it yet.

"Knitting may be a centuries-old craft, but the results can be quite high-tech. For example, it's now possible to store data on a scarf."

Okay, that's IT. Somebody needs to assign her A Tale of Two Cities as mandatory reading! /smacks writer with size 13 needles

Oh, why stop at size 13? Get some of those huge size 35s for a good cluethump?

Um, because size 13 is the largest I own, and it's hardly worth going to buy needles I wouldn't use?

Knitty has an article about knitting in the Indian Himalayas - apparently everybody uses needles about the size of US #1. That's more my POV. (Although as a tight knitter, I actually do my sock knitting on size 2.5 US)

The largest size I own is 19, so I understand.

Of course, it all depends on how you want to deliver the clue. Use either a big needle for the thump or use the US 1s for the points.

(I've been on a sock binge lately, but I knit more loosely, so I've been working with size 0s)

These are the same people who seem amazed that centuries ago people actually had sex in any fashion other than man-wife, missionary style with most of their clothes on.

You often find them under "History, doomed to repeat" in the dictionary.

It was the best of scarves, it was the worst of scarves....

...In short, it was a scarf very much like our own?
