Who Does Not Love Knitting for Baby? Day 13
One of my favorite projects in this book, and easily the most adorable in my opinion, is an infant set comprised of a sweater, hat and bootie socks. One set is knit in Valley Yarns Superwash DK. The other is knit in Lorna's Laces Honor. And may I say, it was an honor (had to go there!) to knit with this beautiful yarn, 70% Alpaca and 30% silk. It is so soft, and has a lovely halo that forms on the surface. It's huggable, squishable, pettable and therefore perfect on a baby! (The baby here is around 40 years old. Her name is Jennifer. She is missing all of her eyelashes, and her skin has odd dirty and manky spots, but she is very quiet and I love her very much.)

. This pattern is not entirely worked in the round. The point of this project is to keep high in the knitter's mind the idea that a project, any project, can be worked on circular needles even if the project is knit "back and forth". I love that circular needles mean no lost needles. How can you lose one when they are attached to each other, like a mitten string on a kindergartner? I always loved my mitten string. I was notorious for losing bits and pieces. I still am! Circular needles mean no setting one down in the car and having it roll between the seats into oblivion. Two needles, joined by a cable, means never having to say "goodbye". Unless Mel is around and he eats one.Random (really, really random!) question for today - Toilet paper: scrunch or fold?

ReplyDeleteFold, all the way! It wastes less!
ReplyDeleteScrunch.
ReplyDeleteGosh, I don't know...I've never really thought about it...I guess I scrunch. I'll have to notice next time I need to go!
ReplyDeleteScrunching provides more absorbency than folding.
ReplyDeleteScrunch yeah!:)
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! Scrunch-who has time to fold?
ReplyDeleteDefinitly fold!
ReplyDeleteFold.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting question. Scrunch, but sometimes I fold then scrunch.
ReplyDeleteI have recently become a fan of the baby wipes, it leaves much more of a sense of security when needed.
I forgot to add - It all depends upon whether I'm at home or elsewhere like a public facility. . . then I bunch, scrunch, and anything else I think I need to do to get the job done.
ReplyDeleteI'm a folder!
ReplyDeletefold. And it should come over the top of the roll.
ReplyDeleteScrunch, most of the time, once in a while fold.

I always fold toilet paper, and tissues as well. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
ReplyDeleteScrunch always!
ReplyDeleteFold once then scrunch.
ReplyDeleteLet's see .... fold at home and scrunch in a public washroom.
ReplyDeleteScrunch for me cause my mother has OCD and it was always fold right on the perfs for her. And with Alzheimer's she still has to fold. So I am a rebel. Scrunch

It's kind of hard to fold OR scrunch a corn cob, but always fold the Sears catalog pages.
ReplyDeleteScrunch!
ReplyDeleteDepends on the business at hand, doesn't it? :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I am definitely a scruncher! Love the question. I like finding out little bits of info like this about people. :)
ReplyDeletehmmmm probably foldscrunch'nbunch

ReplyDeleteFold! And yes, it must come over the top off the roll.

The reason I put all this info is I have no idea if it's on my blogger profile or not. I've looked and looked and didn't find a screen to add it, in case you were wondering. Not that I'm normally lucky but this could be the time!!!
scrunch!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Angela. Fold then scrunch.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with Leslie that the paper HAS to come from the front of the roll. Underhanded T.P. is a big pet peeve.
I wrap and fold ;-)
ReplyDeleteScrunch? ? ?
ReplyDeleteI HAVE NEVER HEARD of such a thing.
THE ONLY way I've ever - - - -
well, I FOLD ! ! !
This is your craziest question.
I've had in my mind to knit something for a baby. No babies in our family, probably not even one on the horizon but still I know some baby would love something hand knit.
Well, here's my chance.
Scrunch ? ? ? ?
hugs

ReplyDeletescrunch!!!!

ReplyDeleteAnother vote for the fold then scrunch. Actually I tilor it to the occasion.
ReplyDeleteScrunch!!!
ReplyDeleteScrunch.
ReplyDeleteFold!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely scrunch..LOL
ReplyDeleteFold.
ReplyDeletefold
ReplyDeletebetter question would be which direction for the paper to pull from - over or under?
esea on Ravelry
Fold, especially if a quality product. If thin and scratchy, then fold and scrunch.
ReplyDeletefold, then scrunch.
ReplyDeleteScrunch of course!
ReplyDeletea little of both... scrunch then fold to a clean spot. LOL
ReplyDeletefold definitely and I'm big on the grab-able paper needing to be over instead of under!
