in space, no one can hear you sneeze.

I have chenille up my nose, in my eyes, and all over my hands.
A foot and a half more on this goddamn scarf and it'll be finished.

I think, after this one, I won't ever knit with chenille again.
It is the evil.

I mean that shit, too.

That shit's horrible to work with! I keep having to rip rows out because I don't pull a stitch correctly, and you can tell. Drives me crazy that it has no stretch to it... but the scarf will be nice when it's done. At least I keep telling myself that... otherwise, I will go on a seven-county killing spree. ^_^

bleh. the slyth scarf's green sections were a double strand of chenille. i dodn't have any prblems with shedding, but the stuff twisted round on itself like merry fuck, and i dropped so many loops at first that i ended up going back and rippng out the first two blocks.


it does look nice, i msut admit. really, really nice. be an awful cold day in hell before i do it again, though.

I hear you. That shit is horrible to work with. What brand of chenille are you working with?

My only issue with T&Q Chenille is that it likes to break if you pull on it too much. You're probably best off saving up for some quality cotton chenille next time around. It's really a delight. I like Colinette cotton chenille especially.
