QUESTION: Why do I have to block my finished stuff? (for those of you who don't knit - Blocking is when you dampen or wet your knitting and lay it out to dry in the shape you want).
I don't get why because when you put on socks/hats/scarves they are the shape of your foot/head etc. What's the point. I blocked this orange hat, but I did not block the first one. I see no difference. And socks? You knit them and wear them. Why would I block them?My 3rd Noro (silk garden) scarf is so pretty! I did not know it would have so much purple in it. The skeins were deceiving - mostly greens/browns/blues. This is why knitting these scarves is so fun. Why doesn't Noro ever go on sale?
Day one of summer vacation:
MAGIC ROCKS! Remember those? Got 'em at Target. In the 70's I ordered mine from my Archie comic books . . . along with my Sea Monkeys - perhaps the biggest disappointment of my life. You cannot train Sea Monkeys. Nor do they grow arms and legs with flipper feet.
