Knit tricks addenda
1. In Friday's list, I wrote: Pick a challenge. By way of clarification I meant, choose something a bit beyond your skill level. Selecting a project way beyond your skill level will drive you mad. Ask me how I know?
2. If you have the buns, get the Denise Interchangeble Knitting Needle set. They're not Addi Turbos, but they make a great travel companion. Plus when you need that size 5, 16" circ, bam!, you're in clover.
3. Teach someone to knit. Nothing will solidify your knowledge like sharing the love.
4. Don't have a swift? Partner tired of winding balls? Use the back of a chair or spread your knees!
5. Take care of your body. Do yoga. Invest in massage. Walk! Do what it takes to keep your arms, wrists and hands healthy. Otherwise, you ain't gonna be knittin' no mo.
Oh, and if you're an Iowa Dem, please, please, please get thee to your caucus!
