Elaine A. Hirst replied to Melissa Burnett's discussion 'Warm weather knits'
I enjoy knitting all year long! I have air conditioning so knitting warm shawls, scarves, afghans. I also like knitting small items when I am out and about such as socks, hats, fingerless gloves because these are light weight and portable.

Knitted tons of baby clothes, and enjoy knitting and crocheting for adults. My projects include afghans, lots of sweaters, dog sweaters, pullover vests...etc.

Knitpics
Hello Everyone!
Can anyone tell me what makes those harmony double pointed needles from knitpics to special? Are they worth getting? I owe so many pairs of double pointed knitting needles in a wide-range of sizes -- some are bamboo and some in aluminum. What is a magic loop?

Favorite Yarn
My favorite yarn is Patons because it is afordable and there is so much variety. I also like Bernet yarn. But overall most of the yarn I knit with I really like. My least favorite is "Simply Soft" by Caron. I like the Sugar n Cream for my dishcloth knitting. I would like to try the knitpics .....Did any one have any experience with knitpics?

- I have never done entralac but I know that Interweave Knits magazine has done spreads on how to do it. If I can remember the exact issue, I'll let you know. I'll also keep an eye out for it. There are A LOT of sock tutorials online. Were you looking to knit them traditionally or from the toe upwards so that you can try them on as you go?

- I love knitting hats! I try to knit one every cold season. I haven't started one yet for this year but it is still 100 degrees here in California.

- Thanks for the welcome. I have been knitting only but I found a really cute pattern for a newsboy hat that involves crocheting the brim so I will be attempting that now too. www.Favecrafts.com
