tchwrtr has a huge post of links to assorted ways of doing short rows.

And then there's... this. All righty then. No wonder the site is called "Why would you knit that?"


In personal knitting, after staring at that kitchen cotton for so long, I suddenly realize three major projects I can use it for. Which is probably not a bad thing, because if I'm going to buy yarn in bulk, it ought to be the cheap stuff; with it, I can make gigantic blankets for under $100.

So while the Sudoku blanket is suddenly refusing to work out yet *again,* (six out of nine blocks done; I will conquer this!) I can cast on "When I'm 64" and "Time Flies" (a blind intaglio variant on endless stair - I can't believe I can't find a good photo online - and good old flying geese, both of which will probably be in the book.)

OMG, those things are so ridiculously wrong. Just... just... I can't... so WRONG!

And yet, somehow compelling.

Oh, I can totally understand the dissection knitting. (Then again, my former college roommate the goddes used to decorate her apartment with fish skeletons. Especially when she was taking that ichthyology course and learning different preservation methods.) That's pretty much the design esthetic behind the Anti-Craft site -- knitting for people who buy stuff from the Halloween store they plan to be using year-round, that kind of thing.
