*snicker* this is too funny. tashabear is an invaluable resource when it comes to knitting and other fiber arts, I mean, she knows her stuff and usually is more than willing to help. However, sometimes she does come across as a wee bit harsh if she feels the person is being incompetent. It's times like these that remind me why I stay out of knitting and stick to the smaller knitting communities.

~QB the pseudo-fiber snob, but only because I have expensive taste ;-)

and p.s., I agree with the posters on the homespun issue. It's a bitch to knit with. I am currently making a sweater out of some of it and as God as my witness, I shall never attempt it ever again.
