Addicted To Yarn Shopping? by DA
A recent study indicated that Yarn and thread gives off certain Pheromones that actually hypnotize women and cause them to purchase unreasonable amounts. When stored in large quantities in enclosed spaces, the Pheromones (in the yarn) cause memory loss and induce the nesting syndrome (similar to...

Silk Shawl ? by DA
Has anyone knitted a shawl from silk? I have two hanks of hand dyed silk yarn that want to be a shawl. Would it block properly to open up the stitches? Would it be better to use a less "lacy" pattern? DA -- This property protected by Smith and Wesson four days a week - - you guess which days.

There are a couple rules of thumb re the amount of stitches that are needed to compensate for the decease in width caused by twisting a cable. One says that "usually" a cable twist will decrease the width by 1 inch, and another that says to increase the number of stitches by 1/3 (one in three)...
