Knitting with camel yarn I was thinking I'd like to spin some camel this morning when I saw some for sale. I need to use up a lot of stash first though.

And a question: What have you learned to do that has marked a definite change in your knitting life?
Learning to knit a jumper (sweater) by measuring the recipient & without a commercial pattern or software is the best thing I have learnt. It finally "clicked" for me when I read "Knitting in the Old Way" by Priscilla Gibson-Roberts.
