Who wants to follow a dumb old pattern anyway when you could figure out how to do exactly what you want yourself? And now, pleats and python pattern generators . . . ah! If only I could convince you to write more often and update your script (or, I suppose, I could learn python, but my husband was not happy with my extensive foray into perl scripting to convert output files from my iPod touch cashflow app to an appropriate qif input file for gnucash).BellaStrangenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8057743066224784855.post-2937442191930755472011-11-16T10:24:27.373-08:002011-11-16T10:24:27.373-08:00The KnitFitter requires Python 3.x.

I don't see any instruction on how to do it. At this time, I use Nona's finger joining technique ( http://nonaknits.typepad.com/nonaknits/2005/10/icord_gloves_1s.html ), but would like to try yours -- anything with no holes sounds great to me! <br />Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8057743066224784855.post-81876403215800529072011-01-15T17:16:42.366-08:002011-01-15T17:16:42.366-08:00Oh wow!

I belonged to the homeschooling group years ago and even when we stopped homeschooling our son, I stayed with the group. Joshua and Iris-Matisse had similar problems learning to read and I followed her journey with interest and hope. Now he's 18 and about, perhaps, to graduate from high school and I'm an obsessed knitter. I hope your family are all well.Jeaninehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05336527591034103194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8057743066224784855.post-12596446223095432662010-06-06T09:49:57.529-07:002010-06-06T09:49:57.529-07:00Amazing! :-) I've never even considered doin...Amazing! :-) I've never even considered doing fingered gloves - too fidgety - but I just might be inspired to try these!Shelleynoreply@blogger.com
