BC Garn Bio Balance is a deliciously soft blend of organic cotton and organic wool, an all-season yarn that's especially great for people who run warm. It's definitely an ideal yarn for wraps, blankets, sweaters, baby and child garments, etc. We knitted a wrap with it and the fabric turned out soft, light, cozy, and pretty. The best way to describe it is that it feels the way you want and think a cotton yarn *should* feel.... http://knitomaticyarns.com//12/restocked-bc-garn-bio-bala/

Fleece Artist Woolen Thrum Mitten Kits Thrumming is a very old technique that is seriously fun and functional. Small tufts of super soft merino roving (wool that hasn't been spun into yarn yet) are knit into the garment creating a fuzzy warm layer on the inside and irresistible dots of colour the outside. As you wear them, the thrummed roving felts down, keeping your hands warm and cozy (take note dog owners, these are ideal winter dog walking mitts).

In my last post I talked about tension, why it's important and how to do it properly. In this one I'm sharing two projects that inspired me to swatch. In that post I mentioned that it's a great idea to upload your swatch data to your Ravelry account for posterity, which is already proving handy today as I'm writing from home, without my swatch at hand!

I'm so sorry, but I feel like it's time for us to have 'the talk' .... about tension and gauge. Seasoned knitters can probably skip to the end, but over the last half year there have been a lot of new knitters coming into the fold, and they could use a little support. What is Tension and/or Gauge? Tension or gauge is the way knitting and crochet is measured mathematically. [ 1,086 more word ] http://knitomaticyarns.com//skills-tension-gauge-a-couple/
