Beth Brown-Reinsel is a great knitting teacher. You will enjoy her 3/31/10 blog entry about repairing knits. It has some great information all in one handy space. Spring is here and it is time to clean and repair your knits so they are ready for next year. You must clean your knits before storing them. Make sure they are good and dry and you really want to repair at least some of them. You know you will be glad you did the repairs when it suddenly gets cold next fall. You want to have a least of few sweaters totally ready until you can get the others repaired.
I carry Eucalan, Soak and the unicorn fibrewash products. These are all wonderful products to treat your knit/crochet items nicely. What does your hair look like if you do not use a good shampoo product for it?
Check out this cool You tube site that is an ad for making natural gas. Knitters will see why it is so cool if you watch awhile. I think it took over 4 months to prepare for this little video. Think of the square footage of knitting you are seeing.
Remember the movie Coraline? The woman who knit the teeny tiny sweater for that movie, Althea Crome, has some more miniature knits to show off on her website. So if you have been afraid to try sock needles, look how tiny you can go and enjoy it.
Interesting article in the wall street journal about truckers who knit/crochet/quilt
