Help with dyeing by
SlinkyToy
Check out Createx Liquid fiber dye. Easy to use (vinegar+heat is all you
need), non-toxic. You might not get those vibrant tones when you overdye a
beige or off-white wool, however, but it certainly won't hurt to experiment.
http://www.aatriceco.com for the dye I mentioned.

About the pattern yet by
NoraBalcer
Hi Pirjo,
Yes, that is what you would do as I take it it will have sleeves set in and not
a raglan sleeve pattern. Am I right Allaya?
Hugs,

Was Eeeew - unspun yarn by
Nomdeplume
Hi all, moving this thread down here :)
My clogs had to be in the washer at maximum agitation
for 35 minutes. Also, since they are made of roving and not yarn,
they had to be put in a lingeree bag, and even so, still needed some
odd looking tangles clipped off by the time they were small...

Me and my miserable memory by
Pirjo Ilvesvuori
I must ask about that decreasing yet....If I crochet 4
stitches together in the end CLOSER to me(the end where the
yarn is), do I have to knit together 4 stitches in the end
FURTHER AWAY from me? Or how? I want to make those things
right.
