Elizabeth W
hood?
Phyllis K D
Doll clothing is great for stitch guages instead of swatching. Put the sweater, (etc.) on the doll, take it off and on several times, maybe hand it to a child to play with, then remove and launder it and voila! You have a more real-life stitch gauge for how your project will wear on you.
Emily S
fringe is groovy... my kids in their 20's love the retro look!
Karyn B
great idea sue
Nancy M
When the yarn companies designed patterns they used a lot of fringe which eats up yarn like crazy
Barbara P
Going back to your curved hem lessons, could we curve the center front and back points so they are not so long.
