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

Last November, I stated knitting series of swatches in the same yarn and stitch pattern but in with different sized needles. For example, I would knit Lion Brand wool in the same stitch on USA size 1, 3, 5, & 7 needles. then every time I was talking to someone, I would pull the swatches out...

Hi all, I've just acquired about a kilo of merino fleece. The tips are very dirty and the person whom I got it from advised me to cut the tips off and discard them. Now I'm not a girl who likes to waste stuff and if I can clean those tips I will. I tried the usual hot water and detergent wash last...

I'm not only a yarnsnob, I'm a needle snob too! With all the talk (well, posts, blogposts and reviews at various forums) over the past year, I thought I'd throw in my two-pence! IMHO: don't waste your money on the 'coveted' COLONIAL Circs (ebony or rosewood), the PONY's are exactly the same and a...

Gee imagine that!! Anyhow, if anyone has any White Buffalo Wool especially in a darker blue or heathered blue that they'd care to part with, trade for, or what-have-you..... Please let me know. It's really too bad this yarn has been discontinued, as it's wonderful for felting and many other...
