    I actually do not wrap the yarn around my fingers, but place it in the crook of my little finger and ring finger, then hold it between my forfinger and thumb...works great for me. Getting the tension right is all about relaxing and practice. With crochet it is better to have big, loose stitches than tight. That is one bid difference, if the stitches are too loose, they will NOT fal off the hook! LOL

    Oh dear, where to start, lol.

    Tubey (http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter05/PATTtubey.html) - I would love to have the body shape to wear Tubey, I love stripes.

    Dahlia (http://knitty.com/ISSUEwinter07/PATTdahlia.html) - I was looking for this everywhere but calling it everything from Delia to Delilah (ugh). I just love the way it's shaped.

    Arwen (http://www.kategilbert.com/p_arwen.html) - Looks like it would be too much yarn to make this for myself now but I've been in love with this forever!

    Oooh, such an interesting thread. I have thought about this time and time again. Each year Winter rolls around and my family all have tonnes of knitwear. I am left wearing a store bought whatever because I would never knit myself anything that required miles and miles of yarn. You know, I wont even let myself look at things I'd like to make until I get to goal (or final) weight. Then it will be fingers on fire to get a pile of gorgeous things into the wardrobe :)
