Hi Mr. Hugzzz
Hey, - wow - my first thought was "Somebody almost like me." I am German, living in lower Saxony in the Hannover area (exctly that is in Braunschweig (Brunswick)) . I am knitting things for 30 years now, sometimes that hobby was more prominent in my life, sometimes I put it down completely. Nowadays I am knitting again because of the meditative effects on me. I do it at work (I am lucky that that is possible) or at home. My favourite subject are socks (at the moment). I can knit them in several kinds of directions, traversal, spiral, from ankle to toe or vice versa. Female Colleagues of me told me that I am an artist 😉 Normally I knit socks as a present, and so none of them can be seen. I agree with you that cable patterns have very creative opportunities.
I saw your invitation to your area and I like to second that, I want to invite you or each and everybody to visit Germany, its forrests, its medieval towns and lots of landscape like the Harz mountains or the coastal regions. I invite you and I like to wellcome you in my country. I case I find the time I would be able to show you a lot of interesting places.
I may say to you Mr. Hugzzz, that you have inspiring Ideas like this cable shawl hanging over your shoulder. Yeah and finally this blog inspires me to start one of my own ...sooner or later. If you like to address me, don´t hesitate to send an e-mail. My best wishes to you, a lot of inspiring and creative knitting ideas and I am revisiting your blog, promised. Knitting Bull

Hey Volleymomma (nice nic),
You have it worked out right and yes, relaxing it would give you a longer scarf, however not long enough for an adult scarf. You could do a wider braid (Angel?) and make a neckwarmer with buttons for a one ball scarf ... just a thought. When using the Barrington Braid, you need about 600 meters of worsted weight yarn to make a scarf the length of the ones I have in the photos.

Thanks Mr Hugzzz,
I'm ecstatic about "Cables Untangled" and am already experimenting, and your blog is inspiring me to be more purposeful about my knitting, so I feel like I'm actually getting SOMETHING finished!
I'm interested in the Waves scarf/cowl pattern, but would like to get a closer look before deciding to buy. I can't seem to see any but the first of the four pic's of it (clicked on the picture on the 'patterns' page; using a Mac). Any suggestions?
Thanks again,
Volleymomma

Thanks Mr Hugzzz,
I recently bought and raced through a first read of your e-book, "Cables Untangled," and have a question about how much yarn gets used. I have a single ball of yarn that I'm experimenting with a scarf with just a single braid. I'd like to keep the end result, and have it long enough for a kids' scarf, and am wondering if I should relax the braid to get a longer scarf with the same amount of yarn?
Have I got this worked out, or am I confused? Is my question even clear?
Thanks for everything,
Volleymomma ooo

Thanks David - Please feel free to comment and/or request anything you'd like me to post up here about knitting. 40+ years- that's quite an accomplishment! I can't think of anything I've been doing for that long!

Hi Steve,
I came across your video on youtube and it's great to see another fellow knitter. I have been knitting since the 3rd grade. I'm now 49, so been knitting for about 40 years. I started with scarves and afghans, but within the past 15 years have graduated to sweaters and now socks (regular and argyle). I LOVE knitting. I will enjoy looking at your designs and patterns.
Nice to run across you.

Lindsay, I'm so sorry. Yup, secret's out. I guess we gotta go slip some stitches together sometime! 😉
