What we’re learning from our knitting and crochet
Margaret just finished the super quick Crochet Cobweb Pattern by Jennifer Hansen or the Stitch Diva. It’s free and a great Halloween or otherwise fun decoration. She used a generic version of Kid Silk Haze (lost ball band) and got more practice use sticky mohair.
Catherine is now grooving with Vanessa Ives Mystery KAL by Bunny Muff with Woole’s Yarn Creations color changing cotton.. She is using toho beads.
Brainy Thing: Product and Process in Knitting and Crochet: Myers Briggs
Margaret discusses the Myers Briggs Personality Inventory and how is might help to explain Knitter’s and Crocheter’s issues with process and product in their project. Check here for an introduction on the Judging and Perceiving pair in Myers Briggs.
Behind the Redwood Curtain
Catherine took the Haunted House Tour of Eureka (CA) and learned why mezzanines were so popular in the Victorian bars in the 1800’s. Here are some photos of Eureka Books. The interior shows the intact mezzanine from the old days.
Knitting Tip
Margaret offers Cat Bordhi’s tip of using mohair or a mohair/silk blend as a reinforcing thread on the toes, heels and even the soles of socks.
Teaching Your Brain to Knit 
I enjoyed your description of the mezzanine style of building and how it was used as a saloon long ago. There is a yarn shop outside of Dallas, TX, in the small town of Farmersville, whose building fits that description! The shop is called The Fiber Circle. Although I don’t believe it was a saloon, it worth looking up on the internet, and definitely worth a visit! (I have no connections to the store except as a patron, so am not advertising for my financial gain.)

Glad you enjoyed them. I didn’t know anything about them until Catherine reported on them.
