Ravelry is useful cuz then you can rationalize buying new yarn cuz your stash isn’t *nearly* as big as that other person’s.
@Beanc my stash is too large to even begin getting it all typed in to ravelry...
@redenigma ah, yeah. I have the fortune of having had ravelry before I realllllly started knitting.
That is to Coso for my newish addiction!
@Beanc i had a decent selection of yarns before i started knitting because i've always done some braiding & offloom weaving... and we really shouldn't discuss my several hundred pounds of beads either.
@Beanc it's amazing how many beads i can get into knitting projects though.
@redenigma I’ve seen some very pretty project combining the two
@redenigma @Beanc I find that pre-stringing the beads also tends to move them to the purl bar, and on a lace k front/p back they migrate to the back. Hook technique puts them squarely on the stitch.
@kismatt yup, that's why it's good for bead purses (or i guess sweaters), because you can swag a bunch of beads on yarnovers for decorative effect
