I crochet and loom knit, mostly (when I can find my hooks). Again, thank you for explaining that. :DRiver Glorioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380075097011912612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559867628295990868.post-66350050293955304442008-11-11T15:50:00.000-07:002008-11-11T15:50:00.000-07:00Hi River Glorious:Nice to meet a knitter from Puer...Hi River Glorious:<BR/><BR/>Nice to meet a knitter from Puerto Rico! An idiot string is a long crocheted chain that you attach to the cuffs of a pair of mittens. Here in the Great White North, small children usually have idiot strings on their mitts to keep them from losing them. Each mitten goes through each sleeve as an arm would. The string crosses the child's back and out the other sleeve. When the child removes their hand from the mitt, it just hangs there. I believe the term "idiot string" was first coined by Bill Cosby.<BR/><BR/>I hope that helps :)<BR/><BR/>ShelleyKnitting Alchemisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09812756062672266775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559867628295990868.post-76898605126488234532008-11-11T15:16:00.000-07:002008-11-11T15:16:00.000-07:00Sista, I hope to be there next year by hell or hi...Sista,<BR/> I hope to be there next year by hell or high water.Thanks for the pictures.<BR/><BR/>amyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559867628295990868.post-70488161076361435622008-11-11T13:41:00.000-07:002008-11-11T13:41:00.000-07:00Yup - it was an amazing weekend with a great frien...Yup - it was an amazing weekend with a great friend.
