Does it look tacky wearing a hand knitted dress?

Posted on September 12th, 2009 by admin

My mum wants to knit me a dress as she’s tired of knitting scarves, arm warmers and tops that are for my two year old cousin. She is a very good knitter so it won’t look badly bad it just won’t be fine knit like a lot of the stuff seen it stores it will be kinda chunky knit well in comparison it will be.

I don’t think so! My sister knits and everything is really cute. If it is well-made, then it will look like you bought it from a store. Knits are actually in style right now.

Just pair it with cool matching accessories (a belt around the waist would look awesome!) Also, making sure it’s the ONLY knitted thing you are wearing or else it will look tacky.

A home-based company produces both hand-knitted scarves and sweaters.?

Posted on September 10th, 2009 by admin

A home-based company produces both hand-knitted scarves and sweaters.
The scarves take 2 hours of labor to produce, and the sweaters take 14 hours.
The labor available is limited to 40 hours per week, and the total production
capacity is 5 items per week. Write a system of inequalities representing this
situation, where x is the number of scarves and y is the number of sweaters.
Then graph the system of inequalities.

Answers can’t do graphs.

(Experienced knitters only please) What is the BEST way to block a wool and silk hand knit sweater?

Posted on August 23rd, 2009 by admin


Knitting for over 50 years, and this is what I recommend: garment should be laid out and measured dry, if it is the size you want. Then, saturate it with COLD water. Squeeze water out gently, do not wring or twist!! Lay the garment out according to the pre-wash measurements. (if you think the dye will bleed, be sure to put blotting material (paper towels, washcloth) between the layers.) If you have a net "sweater dryer’ gadget that keeps the item off a solid surface, that is the best way. Lay the item out, and check for bumps and wiggles. I lay mine out on thick cotton towels which I change out every few hours. There should be no need to pin or put weights on it if you check it and make adjustments frequenty. By all means, never!!! apply heat, as it will cause the wool fibers to shrink and bunch up. If the yarns sieze up, there is no good way to stretch them out. Also, depending upon the dyes, it is best to keep the item indoors for drying. Make sure it is completely dry before storing away. I have sweaters that are decades old in perfect condition.
