There`s a new blog post at thetwistedyarn.com (or see link in bio). It`s a little different from normal, as it pays tribute to my recently deceased aunt. But don`t worry, normal yarny shenanigans will resume next post.

Strolling and knitting with one half of the twinnage, watching combine harvesters at work because my son is fascinated by farming. Allow the fabric to dry completely before removing your pins or moving the garment. This will usually take between 24 and 48 hours. If it takes any longer, start the process again or it may begin to smell.They’re durable, too, and will survive constant piercing without losing much of their strength and rigidity.

A spot of disclosure is needed. Whilst I don’t usually do sponsored posts, I’m making an exception today. I have received money from the company that makes these mats and I was filmed for this video, but exciting developments lie ahead for this company, which I’ll mention at the end of this post. Lay your knitting down on the surface with the right-side facing up. Begin carefully stretching the fabric to fit the size and shape you need. Usually, if there are no grid lines, you have to use a tape measure, which is too much work. To keep things easy, get a mat with vivid grid lines. What’s in The Set? The factor of no grids might annoy some, and you might have to buy a second set to do larger knitted thingsYet, even after lots of use, or rather pin-piercing, the self-healing nature of this mat ensures the pinholes “heal,” keeping the mat looking as new as when you bought it. Of course, you might encounter some holes, but they won’t be big enough to affect the mat’s overall layout. The mats have grid lines on them, and what I like particularly is that the lines are visible and they don’t fade. And of course, the lines allow you to pin your fabric correctly without any uneven stretches. The grid is an essential consideration, especially if you need to achieve high-precision and professional neatness with your project. With WooLove you benefit from a two-colored grid system that lets you achieve straight, precise edges every time. If the project is exactly the size you need it, avoid stretching it – just lay it flat and smooth any bumps down. 5. Remove the Pins
