I get afraid.. of you... I envision you sitting amidst of balls of yarn, juggling needles and mumbling numbers and formulas. And undetected by you, you conjure up yarn-demons and fluffy monsters, rise skeletons made of wooden hooks and long dead knitting icons.
Why are you doing this? I mean the stress knitting... not the magic, the letter I understand :-D
I guess I am a completely competition averse crafter. I choose my patterns so that I can get a nice object without any effort (i know, does not work)... best pattern ever is one color and stockinette or hdc without any shaping :-DDDD
