59: Hand Care01 Feb 202200:33:28
Stretches we mentioned in this week's episode
  1. Front of wrist stretch: turn palm up and use the other hand to pull fingertips down and back (toward the floor/elbow)
  2. Palm stretch: backs of hands facing each other, hook your thumbs and pull (gently!)
  3. Palm stretch 2: stretch your pinkies back with your other hand
  4. Knuckle decompression: pull gently on each finger with other hand
  5. Myofascial release of the forearm - squeeze one forearm with the other tight enough that you can move the skin back and forth about an inch. Push down toward wrist and hold for 60-90 seconds. Move to another spot on your forearm and do it again. You don’t need to do every inch of your forearm!

58: Frogging25 Jan 202200:30:36

It's called "frogging" because you rip-it, rip-it, rip-it out. Then there's tinking, which is just knitting in reverse! (Technically that would be gnittink, I suppose, but let's just go with it.)

I did a kind of iffy job of explaining using dental floss as a lifeline. Interweave explains it better here.

56: Yarn Detectives Part 204 Jan 202200:37:46

In Episode 55 we talked about how to the weight of mystery yarn; this week we're talking about ways to identify its fiber content. Grab your notebooks, goggles, and adventurously scientific spirit.

Here we go!

Smell Test

  • Animal fibers: it will smell like a wet sheep! Maybe a barn/hay smell too
  • Silk: may have an earthy or fishy smell
  • Synthetic fibers: generally no smell, maybe oily/artificial smell
  • Plant fibers: generally no smell

Felting Test

  • Animal fibers (including silk): will felt if non-superwash
  • Synthetic & plant fibers: will not felt

Bleach Test

  • Animal fibers: will fizz and dissolve in 12-24 hours
  • Silk: will dissolve in approximately two days
  • Synthetic & plant fibers: won't dissolve, may lose color

Acetone Test

  • Synthetic fibers: will dissolve
  • Animal fibers, silk, and plant fibers: will not react much at all

Burn Test

  • Animal fibers: will burn slowly and curl away from orange flame, will smell like burning hair or feathers
  • Silk: will burn slow and curl away, may char, may smell like burning hair or charred meat
  • Plant fibers: burn fast & give off smoke, leave light colored ash * cotton has a yellow flame * hemp & jute has a very bright flame * linen, hemp, and jute ash will still be in the shape of the yarn
    • Synthetic fibers: will burn (or really, melt!) quickly and emit a strong, black smoke

55: Yarn Detectives Part 121 Dec 202100:33:53

We're digging deep into your stash to help you identify yarn that might no longer have any identifying information. (Eek!) This week's question is about choosing patterns when knitting socks for larger feet.

WPI (wraps her inch) and Yarn Weight Charts


Here's a link to a WPI tool, in case you're having trouble visualizing it!

Tools for yardage

  • Mystery yarn (with WPI/weight identified)
  • Kitchen or postage scale (need to measure in grams)
  • Yarn Weight and Yards per Pound Chart
  • These are estimates/ranges because fiber content and yarn construction affects physical weight

50: Knitting Socks16 Nov 202100:44:03

It's a sock knitting vocabulary quiz (hint: 10 points for already knowing something, 10 points for learning something new. Everyone wins!) Our Dear Scratch letter this week is about choosing sweater patterns as a new sweater knitter.

Left-hand dominant Ravelry knit & crochet group: On the Other Hand

Vocabulary terms you might encounter when you're knitting socks!
  • Cuff - the very top of your socks that hugs your ankle or at some point on your leg
  • Leg - the “body” of your sock above your heel and below the cuff
  • Heel - this is the curved or L-shaped bend of your sock that accommodates your heel
    • some kinds: short row heels, heel flap, afterthought heels, peasant heels

  • Gusset - shaping in the foot of the sock to accommodate movement
  • Toe Shaping
    • some kinds: wedge toe, round toe, left & right toe

  • Graft - also called kitchener stitch
  • Extra Credit: Negative Ease - ease is the degree to which your finished garment is larger (positive) or smaller (negative) than your body; ideal negative ease for socks is about 10% negative ease in terms of circumference & length
