Craftsy blog posted this post on the 15 most common knitting problems. I concur with them! Most of them are frustrating!
1. Running out of yarn just before finishing a project! To get around this, I’ve always tried to over estimated yarn (my husband hates that I have a box of scrap yarn!). Sometimes, depending on the project, I buy a full skein of excess yarn. That way I know I won’t run out. It has saved my bacon 3 times I know of in the past.
Here is a close shot of the finished Cowl. It is currently being blocked to make it look pretty :).
Oh and if you wanted to make sure that it is for certain a mobius cowl:
there is the twist for you! I’m blocking it on two rolled up towels to stretch it out because you can’t really pin it on a blocking board very easily. It was the suggestion of Laura Nelkin, the pattern designer.
I just finished clue 3. As promised, it has beads! This MKAL only has 4 clues, so I’m actually keeping up on it!
Here is my completed Clue 2 of the Circo Cowl. I finished it a week ago, but I forgot to post it. I’m currently working on Clue 3, which has beads!
One of my hobbies related to knitting is dyeing the yarn I use to knit. It’s lots of fun! I use mainly food grade dyes, because they are easier to clean up!
In correlation to that, Dharma Trading Company has a 10% off sale on their blank yarns for dyeing until 10/15.
