How do you all wash your wools? I wash EVERYTHING before putting it together and when I'm finished -- even though I wash my hands before I pick up my knitting, it's amazing how much dirt / oil comes out of them when they're washed. I have always handwashed -- soaked in Woolite, rolled it in a...

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...

Good morning! I am new to your groups and pretty new to knitting (4 scarfs, 1 doll blanket and 1 kerchief under my belt so far). I am making a hooded baby blanket from a pattern I found at JoAnn fabrics. It calls for the first 8 rows to be knit in seed stitch with two strands of yarn held...

Hi All, How would I find a pattern to make a hooded cape (like a Star Wars jedi) for my 5yo boy? It would just be for dress up around the house so it doesn't have to be an exact replica. I would like to crochet it since my knitting is still in the newbie stages. Thanks for any help you can give...
