Hey Malia
It is as stiff as twine/heavy hemp, but MUCH smoother to work with… almost slippery, like raffia… my hands didn’t hurt after working with it… it’s pretty cool stuff! The only bad points i can see is that it is not really a garment “yarn”

I’m curious what your impressions are of this yarn. Pineapple yarn just sounds like it would be hard on the hands (I think of thinking of the skin) but I’ve heard that it’s smooth. Good points? Bad points?

That Pirate Pullover is adorable! It probably wouldn’t look so good on me, but I love it.

And I see Bare Essentuals there, too. I love Bare Essentuals.

That’s the one thing that crochet has over knitting – being better at 3D functional forms (ie, not clothing). I like the color!

I’m not a fan of stripes (on my body), but I really like that sweater. I like how the top is just all black. It’s as though the bottom stripes just fade into the top (visually-speaking).

Nice make-up container. I need to make some of those for my odds and ends lying around.

Looks like cool stuff – I like that it is described as smooth – I tried knitting with hemp twine once, got a terrible rash and virtually instant carpal tunnel….
