Sticky yarn

[Julie]

Luke, I live in the super-humid midwest, and when my yarn gets sticky I find it helpful to knit in front of a fan. :D

I have adjusted the way I hold the yarn which has allowed me to knit a few more rows on my current project. The fan idea sounds pretty cool...no pun intended.

To the guys on the site... I always wondered how people could take two sticks and some string and make something, so when I saw instructions this winter on our local news web site on making a scarf, being a chef, I got a set of chopsticks and my butcher's twine from the kitchen and went to work. It took a while, but I figured it out! Now, it is proven an awesome craft that I really enjoy, and, as proven by this site, some pretty cool people do it.

Thanks again for all of your help. I look forward to reading more from the group.

OT- well Luke, hope you enjoy this new addiction, and it is one, but a constructive one. hmm can just see if they started a new support group, Knitter's Anonymous. "Hi, my name is Aaron, and I'm a knitter. I can't help it, my yarn stash keeps getting bigger and bigger!" heh, anyway, this board is full of quirky people (like KellyK, hehe Hi kelly ) But all in all, definitely a good place to be.

What about baby powder on the hands? Might look a little funny on the yarn, but if its something that will be washed anyway...

[Luke]

Good idea Kemp. That helped for a while. Between washing my hands repeatedly, chaninging the way I held the yarn, and applying powder, the situation cleared up (i think the yarn just gave up at that point!) Thanks for your help.

Sounds like you pretty much have it covered now!
