Because part of my reason for blogging is to keep things readily organized while doing craft projects, here is one idea I am cataloguing for the next time I make a ball of yarn from a purchased skein. This quick process is called a center pull yarn cake, and allows you to pull yarn from the center of the ball rather than from the outside. This will eliminate that pesky ball from rolling around on the floor and creating chaos, and resulting in a dog or cat toy when you really just wanted to knit!
This website, hosted by Gnat, has an excellent tutorial worth a read; I am keeping it handy on my blog because it looks a lot easier than how I have been laboriously performing the maneuver of getting yarn skeins ready for knitting.
At this same website, you can listen to her podcast (I just downloaded it to iTunes for listening on my walk today). The podcast is called BarknKnit. She likes dogs, can you tell from the title of her podcast? I might let Libby and Mercy listen to her on the computer today while she barks and knits and I play internet Scrabble. woof!
