DREAM TRIP

OK, for all of us passionate knitters who appreciate the art I found what is probably seen as the dream vacation.  It involves touring Ireland's finest small towns and communities learning about all the wonders of how yarn comes to be, as well as sight seeing and knitting workshops.  I would love to join this wonderful journey however sometimes vacations have to be placed on hold because of bad timing.  I hope some day I will be able to make it there some day and meet some great knitters along the way.  If you are interested in going please check out this WOOL-TYME link and get the full 10 day details and all its perks.  All in all, the price isn't all that bad, but right now for me it unfortunately is.  However I do love where I am in my life and am enjoying every moment of it!

Washing Instructions

So while reading my weekly newsletter from Lion Brand Yarn called "The Weekly Stitch", which contains some handy tips, new patterns, and some other treasures.  This week was particularly a life savor when I discovered they included a link to there website which contains the washing instruction symbols on yarn.  These could also apply to clothing but either way a great thing to have when you are trying to decipher what a circle with a line means!
