Linda Ostroff, Owner Custom Yarns by Linda
|
1. Unlike other industries, the knitting world has two seasons : winter and spring
Spring yarns become available around the first of the year, and winter yarns start appearing in shops by late
August.
2. Most shops have sales at the end of a season, on Super Bowl weekend, when they are looking to close
out a line or when a manufacturer discontinues a particular yarn.
3. Yes, you can knit on a plane! A smaller project such as socks or scarves are recommended. Try using a
empty dental floss dispenser instead of scissors to cut any yarn.
4. Before beginning a project, read the pattern. As you progress, follow the pattern 1 sentence at a time to
eliminate confusion.
5. To avoid repetitive stress injury, be sure to sit up straight, use circular needles for big projects, take occasional
breaks and use pillows or arm rests to evenly support and distribute body weight.
