The Yarn and I Have Been in Negotiation

First it informed me that it was fingering, not sport, thank you very much. (Sorry, I said we hadn't seen each other in a while.)

Then it let me know that any edging involving faggoting with double yarn overs was out of the question. "Might be OK for cotton," it sniffed, "but, I'm not going there. Not unless you want something that looks like the bars on a jail cell window"

I proposed trying diamonds. The yarn is thinking it over. It's not exactly crazy about the first version I offered, but it's willing to consider alternatives.
