I have been knitting socks on two circular needles and when I am doing
the gusset I find the needle portion of the circulars are too long
making it difficult to turn on the heal.. What I think would work

myswendy

for now--What exactly makes some yarns end up looking fuzzy when the
job is completed? Not with pills, just all fuzzy. What kinds of yarn
do NOT create this effect? I plan to shave off the pills with a razor
blade or...

This yarn is not imported into the US, and a web search results do not give
any information in English about the yarn.
I am looking for the suggested gauge/tension in stocking stitch and needle

Honest question here by
myswendy
Hi everyone,
I have been wondering about this for quite a while--I know many, many
folks love to make dishcloths, washcloths, etc, and many say it's
habit-forming. My question is really two-fold:
Why would anyone want to make something that will purposely be made
dirty? And secondly, do they work?...

Ball winder troubleshooting by

Hi guys,
I'm having trouble with a borrowed ball winder. It makes a racheting
noise from inside. I know that can't be good, but I can't see inside

Hi guys,
UGH. I need to knit a couple of doll-sized V-neck sweaters. My only
experience there was with a human-sized one that flummoxed me so badly
at that point I quit making it. Sigh. I really need to do better this
