I resisted for years, then slipped over to the Dark Side.<br />If warping wasn't more complicated than casting on a few knitting stitches, I'd probably weave more.stitchworthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04827825336666824765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22566024.post-29713687475429214382011-02-12T20:27:15.648+00:002011-02-12T20:27:15.648+00:00erm, yep.
