When we have these things figured out, we should write a book for beginners of things They don't tell you. Between us, we've probably already spent about a week's worth of time Googling for answers on really simple stuff that books and tutorials don't mention, but noobs don't have a clue about.

This Plymouth Encore is nice to work with when you're just knitting, but if you have to back up and re-do, it starts to get splitty. Next time I need a wool blend I think I'll try Patons or Lion to see if they are any better. If not, it's the same stuff with the same problem but it costs less.
