Knit One, Hurl Two
My cousin has been knitting since she was 5 or 6, when my favorite auntie first taught her how to make shawls for her Barbie dolls. She started blogging about her yarn fetish a while back (and didn't tell me!), so I'm going to publically out her here on the Goof...;-)
Love this vintage pattern for a knitted bodysuit from the '70s. I hope she digs up more groovy patterns like this for our edification/edu-muh-cation!

Cool. I have a stack of old knitting magazines. I'll be checking out her blog.

I was afraid to tell you, because, really now, does my site in any way compare to yours? But glad you enjoy the 70s style offering. I see that you already commented on my latest--just for you!

I think it's really great, Les. You've got a snappy writing style, and you're obviously writing about stuff that you like. That's all that matters.
Loved the photo of CeeCee and Jules at the restaurant too!

Glad to know that you enjoy the slightly off beat blogging style of Leslie. She does have a talent as well as my nephew.

Uh-oh, guess I better behave myself if you're reading this too!...;-)

Oh well, I've had a good run, J$...:-D

Mr. BaliHai behave himself? I don't think these two offshoots of the family are a threat to that!
Hey, ma thinks we're both "off-beat." Isn't that a compliment?

It's certainly preferable to "pathological" or "evil"...:-)

Guys write about installing Linux on a washing machine, Girlies do blogs about knitting.
Looking at her blog I find her instructions equally nerdy:
Begin lace rib pattern:
Rnd 1: * p2, yo, ssk, yo, k2tog, repeat from * around.
Rnds 2-4: *p2, k3, p3, repeat from *, end with p1
Doesn't read any different from a PERL or Java script.
