Or how it is spun- woolen versus worsted etc. <BR/><BR/>There are lots of great yarn store in Seattle and elesewhere that teach knitting for really cheaply, and it often includes the cost of supplies. <BR/><BR/>I do think it is easy to Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17516857232705292830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-87028934498242265282008-09-22T13:14:00.000-07:002008-09-22T13:14:00.000-07:00Knitting flairs my wrist up like nothing else so I...Knitting flairs my wrist up like nothing else so I crochet with a wrap around my wrist. I spend my Sundays crocheting and watching football. Anyhow- Try Alpaca. So soft, and warm, and light weight.

Unless you are trying to do something particularly fancy (like cables) or something that requires 4 needles and 8 hands, I'm fairly convinced that pretty much anyone can pick it up in an afternoon.Crunchy Chickenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612320939936593420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-84840343602820097102008-09-22T10:05:00.000-07:002008-09-22T10:05:00.000-07:00Oh, it's a total myth that wool is stinky and scra...Oh, it's a total myth that wool is stinky and scratchy! You can start investigating different breeds of sheep (that produce different varieties of wool) and become very impressed with how the animal world can develop. But it isn't always very frugal ... I keep intending to concentrate on local yarns to keep the carbon miles down, but then something cries my name (like wool from ... Wales?). <BR/>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-61321098218836175402008-09-21T17:19:00.000-07:002008-09-21T17:19:00.000-07:00Merino Frappe, Vegan Fox and Fuzzy Galore reads li...Merino Frappe, Vegan Fox and Fuzzy Galore reads like a demi-monde line- up of slinky performers.

I noticed that they say you can knit and /or crochet shopping bags made from [lastic grocery bags. Supposedly you cout the bag into strips and that's your material.
