Greetings all, I am working on a lovely pattern using linen yarn. However, it is working up a tad wider and not as tall as I would like. Ordinarily, with wool yarn, this wouldn't bother me as I would block it to the appropriate size. Does anybody know if this will work similarly with linen...

Hello, with what would you suggest to clean/wash an old spinning wheel that spent a few years in the basement uncovered and got VERY dusty? Thank you in advance, Yulia

The discussion about things getting misplaced got me thinking. We can all find comfort in knowing we all do it from time to time. Would you be willling to share and tell of the funniest place you put something? I recently found my car keys in the freezer. Thank goodness DD asked for waffles...

Every knitting project has a "hump," a point from which you can see the finish and the going gets easier. She says to knit 14 inches from start of knitting to beginning of arm gussets, so I stop and measure my progress every couple of hours. I know it silly, but I can not help myself. I get into...
