It makes the nupp-ing SO MUCH MORE pleasant. I hated the nupps. i was cursing Nancy Bush for making such beautiful Estonian lace patterns that I wanted to re-create but was getting hand cramps from dealing with all those effing nupps.

They make nupps almost enjoyable.CynCynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13526002636160005907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-4437146610895212202007-06-16T10:35:00.000-04:002007-06-16T10:35:00.000-04:00I have not yet tried a large lace knitting project...I have not yet tried a large lace knitting project, but reading your entries is both petrifying and educational.

Nupps are only on every third entrelac rectangle of the(otherwise quite lovely) Forest Path Stole. I'd cringe as I started each and every one of those rectangles. I guess I finally learned enough to LOOSELY add those stitches on the prior row, but I still did an ecstatic jig when the final nupp was done.<BR/><BR/>Good luck on the edging.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04548599183722442825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-8032590694640808972007-06-16T08:14:00.000-04:002007-06-16T08:14:00.000-04:00Oh, Franklin.

I may have, but in the event I have not, let me just say, I love reading your blog. I love it when you leave your posts up for a day or two. I love to come back and re-read them. "Just bind off and call it a doily" was the total crack-up line for me this time. But it was all the fun leading up to it, and following, that I also truly enjoy.
