friendthegirl The SD Spicy Carnation isn't that great. It's good at first, but it ages really, really badly.

Circular versus "Straight" Knitting?

friendthegirl @friendthegirl (38) • United States 7 Feb 07

Which do you prefer? Now that I've been knitting for a few years, I much prefer knitting in the round, because there tend to be less seams. I love knitting, but I hate the finishing.

friendthegirl Yes, I know what you mean. Circular needles distribute the weight of the work more evenly.

Do you make your own hot cocoa/hot chocolate...

friendthegirl @friendthegirl (38) • United States 7 Feb 07

or do you use a mix? I always make my own and I can't stand mixes now.

friendthegirl Yes, I agree! I like adding other stuff to my mix, including cinnamon. I think powdered milk just tastes gross.

Has anyone read Wicked, by Gregory Maguire?

TereFaerie @TereFaerie (386) • United States 2 Feb 07

I have not seen the play, but I hear it is very different from the novel. This was one of the best books I have read lately and I was wondering what people thought of it. Even if you have seen the musical, feel free to respond....

friendthegirl No, I haven't! I guess I was just so disappointed by Wicked that I never bothered to read any others.

friendthegirl I've never tried mozzarella in grilled cheese. I guess I'm a little wary of how it will taste. I don't know why! I've never had a croque monsieur sandwich, but I do think turkey, bacon with cheese makes a yummy grilled cheese. Not too often, though!

What discontinued product do you most mourn?

glowsinthedark @glowsinthedark (189) • United States 6 Feb 07

With it's regular purging what Lush product do you truly miss. For me it would have to be Absolution!! That was probably one of my favourite products ever and I'm so sad I have no more!! Also I wish I could try flying saucers or...

friendthegirl Lotta Iotta was good! I find it annoying that people claim Potion is still available. Yeah, technically it is, if you want to spend 30 pounds on shipping from the UK, plus the cost of phone calls to the UK to order it. I just remember during the NA D/C...

friendthegirl The Barbara Walker knitting pattern books (there are a few of them) are the greatest. She has some great cables and there is even a pattern for creating a spider in a knit fabric.

friendthegirl That is funny, because my Mom likes pickle slices with hers, too, so I've gotten hooked on that. And grilled cheese is the only time I crave Campbell's tomato soup.

friendthegirl It was lemony and had oatmeal in it. I love citrus stuff. Very subtle, but nice. I don't like really flowerly scents, but Potion had carnation and rose. Carnation is kind of spicy, so they balanced each other out.
