Not quite the same as grabbing projects of interest from a communal basket, but it did work over a distance - she's in Illinois and we've never actually met. You don't think having to figure out what's going on half-way through a project is an obstacle? I frequently don't pick up old projects of my own because I can't bear the thought of trying to remember what in the world was going on.Gryphonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829143402824096948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31709178.post-1159978523187080322006-10-04T11:15:00.000-05:002006-10-04T11:15:00.000-05:00I love the idea of communal knitting!

This is probably the subliminal reason I've been trying to coerce everyone I know into knitting (so far I netted two, but they're still in scarf and hat stages). Somewhere in the EZ canon there's a picture of Elizabeth and Meg both working on the body of a sweater at the same time (on two circs, I think). I've always been fascinated by that photo, and longed to have someone nearby who would knit with me *literally*!Kate A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04862446913952308018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31709178.post-1159915732675512372006-10-03T17:48:00.000-05:002006-10-03T17:48:00.000-05:00Would if I could!Left a present on your doorstep. ...Would if I could!<BR/><BR/>Left a present on your doorstep.
