Variegated, speckled, or semi-solid, each stripe brings something new to your needles.To showcase these gorgeous gradients, Infinite Twist has worked up an easy Bias Scarf Kit featuring Fates and Graces. If you can k2tog and m1, you can knit this scarf!Perfect for purse- or travel-knitting, and available in the Infinite Twist shop.

Week 5: Clean your wheel
Dust, use oil soap, wood conditioner (if appropriate) wood beams ,or this from Brittany. Get all the fiber and yuck out of the gears/metal bits. Always wipe the maiden clean and oil (we really like oil pens) between uses to keep stuff from collecting there. Jasmin likes shop towels (the blue paper towels) for spinning. Jasmin also likes Akerworks bobbins
And Sew On:(57:50)
Gigi cut draw strings for project bags, and had Genevieve help pull them through. They got two stacks done.
As for crocheted cables, I wonder if cables might be more stable in crochet? Knitted cables are beautiful, but I've found they tend to flatten out after a few washings. I think crochet might hold it's shape better.
