In-Depth Review of Knitting Yarn

Knitter's Review
July 23, 2015

Splitty yarns are the pits.

As tempting as it is to blame the yarn, part of the problem stems from the needles we're using. If the tips don't get along with the yarn's fibers, twist, and ply construction, you're headed for splitsville. Change the needles, and you may live happily ever after.

This week we explore needle tips, the pointy, mid-ranged, and blunt alike, to help ensure each of your projects is a happy one.

In the Forums: Back and Forth, Round and Round
Mary Ellen is a recently converted swatcher. She's fine with the back-and-forth stuff, but what happens when you're swatching for a project that's worked both flat and in the round?

As always, I thank you for letting me be a part of your knitting life.
