Entrelac is no big deal! You should go for it. It would make a lovely Lady E or Danica.

I’m always worried about recognizing people too. I hate it the most when the place to meet them is kind of vague. Like even if you say the clock at Grand Central, there are so many sides to it (being a circle) and they could be either close or far away. Drives me nuts! I’ve taken to naming specific stores to meet at to allieve my anxiety then I worry will they be in the store or in front?? You can’t win!

I think I’ve seen you do that hair-grabbing thing, now that you mention it. I’m like that with sleep in my eyes in the morning — I’m incredibly sensitive to it and am giving myself premature wrinkles (although someday soon I’m going to have to face up to the fact that they can no longer reasonably be called premature) by constantly pulling at the skin around my eyes.

Way to go finally wrapping up your contest from several weeks ago.

I share the same fear as you expressed in #1 - even worried I won’t recognise my parents when meeting them at the airport. Strange. But I can’t say I have the asparagus whiffing talent. Happy new year to you!

oh i can smell asparagus in my pee and sometimes i can smell that smell very faintly even if i haven’t eaten asparagus which tells me that i’m either imaging things or that whatever compound smells like asparagus in my pee is present in other foods that we eat just not in as high amounts.

i think entrelac is an excellent idea for all of those skeins. it’s not hard at all.

I completely agree with you about the fake vs. intended flavor gap. I have yet to taste anything that actually tastes like strawberry!

I agree with Sam. I just finished a Lady Eleanor scarf as my first entrelac project, and it’s really not hard at all. Just trust the instructions and you’ll figure it out in no time!

I’m working my first entrelac project right now! Its sort of like turning your first heel– just do exactly what the instructions say even if they don’t make sense yet. I’m making a tam out of Noro Silk Garden and the yarn plus the technique make this a project I’ll likely repeat. Go for it!!
