Susan Muir left a comment for Harrison's mom"Hi Jeni,
I'd love to be a Scottish member. I'm a bit of a slow knitter so it ttakes me a while to knit the squares, hopefully using chunky wool will help. I'm going to try knitting a go-over and see how I get on. I'd really like…"

Anne Powell replied to Susan Muir's discussion Knitting with Chunky wool"Awesome Susan!!! You go girl!! so glad you are going to try a GO-OVER - they are simple and fun and oh so needed! Have you seen the photos in the album GO-OVER VARIATIONS?? Can't wait to see yours and put it into the album too."
Susan Muir replied to Susan Muir's discussion Knitting with Chunky wool"Hi Jeanne,
Thanks so much for your reply. I'm going to definitely use my chunky wool. I agree that it is much cosier than double knitting and I have loads.

Andrea Palmatier replied to Susan Muir's discussion Knitting with Chunky wool"Welcome Susan!
Chunky wool = very warm squares. I say go for it! Plus, you can presumably make squares faster. :o)"
"Hello Susan, and welcome. The chunky should make lovely warm blankies, even a GO-OVER, if you have enough yarn. Photos of finished projects will be appreciated

P. Jeanne Haessler replied to Susan Muir's discussion Knitting with Chunky wool"Hi Susan, welcome. I too love how more and more people are getting involved in this. As for yarn thicknesses, I find DK thin, and I use either worsted weight yarn or chunky yarn for hats, for squares and for Go-Overs. It works up faster, seems…"

Susan Muir left a comment for Angela Garlant"Hi Angela,
The picture was taken last year in the Dordogne in France. The scenery is really beautiful. I couldn't find a photo which was a close up of me to put on the profile. I know what you mean about conflicting projects for knitting. Now I…"
Angela Garlant left a comment for Susan Muir"Hi Susan, good to hear from you. Well done with the squares!! It can be quite addictive! The times I hear myself saying, before going off to bed, for example, 'just one more row'! Two inches later, I finally put it away. I am also doing a…"

- Hi Susan, lovely to hear from you and nice to know where your pictue was taken, the scenery certainly is beautiful. I'm sure you are going to be kept very busy, especially as your daughter has put an 'order' in for a throw!! It will look very striking when finished. Sounds like a good plan to teach your daughter to knit and it is great that she is keen. You must have inspired her! Perhaps she will get all her uni pals to knit also!
I have only been knitting for KAS since the end of February, although I first came across the site late last year. I, too, felt it was a very worthwhile cause. I find everyone so enthusiastic and inspiration just bounces around the forum.
Bye for now. Angela xx

- Hi Susan, good to hear from you. Well done with the squares!! It can be quite addictive! The times I hear myself saying, before going off to bed, for example, 'just one more row'! Two inches later, I finally put it away. I am also doing a winter-weight jumper for my small grandson, so there is the battle of projects going on too!! But, yes, it is a great cause and people are being so supportive.
Love the scenery in your profile photo, where is that?
Bye for now. Angela x
