Noro Kureyon and felting by Linda [email protected]
I'm knitting the Booga Bag using Noro Kureyon yarn. I'm noticing it twisting as it comes off the ball. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a good idea to untwist the kinks, or should I just leave them? thanks, Linda in B.C., Canada

appology by
Recently, I said some bad things about bamboo needles. I must apologize. The SPN bamboo that came in this morning had a nice finish on them. I cut them down, and trimmed them into nice 12.5" bamboo DPN. Then, I drilled out a knitting sheath to fit these US size 5 needles, and now I have a...
