"When Will We Ever Use THIIIIIISSSS?"
My students always ask me when they're going to use the things I'm teaching them. We're currently working on least common multiple and greatest common factor.
Since I've decided to knit a shoe bag, I've decided to do a stranded piece. I don't want to felt a bag and stranded it will help make it stronger. I'm going to strand a piece with sort floats so I don't have to worry about snagging.
I went through my books and chose some patterns. Then, I needed to find the small repeat.
I did the math.
And the smallest repeat number needed?
Ninety-two.
This is where you will use this, boys and girls.

"A Fish."
"Hey, can you tell what this is?" I point to a stranded piece of color work, to a bluebell.
"A fish?" says my boyfriend.
I blame his color blindness.
