Computer and math nerd, but thoroughly and continuously exhausted by most of the the social systems entangled with computers. Textiles nerd, especially knitting and weaving.

I started several months ago but none of the yarn I had really worked well for it, and only got new yarn last week. have done a silly amount of experimentation to get the cables and edging how I want them, and am finally actually working on the real thing :) the double-sided cable technique is this really neat trick I learned on the internet but haven&#39;t been able to find the source for again. they are all slip-stitch cab...
