[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Rip and reuse

[Becky Frankeberger]

I tore out a shawl and am making the Teddy bear in crochet. When I am not
certain what I am doing, I procrastinate big time. I will though, since this
yarn is white for the Kuma Bears in BC, will wash the bear to make sure the
white is ccrisp. The head is all done with two ears, two eyes, and one big
snout.  The arms are next.  I will use one of the zipper bags to wash the
bear keep all the stuffing inside, just in case.

Hi Tracy and Bernice, I try to smooth the yarn out by running it through my
fingers.
I feel for you Tracy, I just had to restart a scarf for the fifth time.

When I re-use yarn, I make sure I pull it out strait often, so it doesn't
curl in my new piece. I also do that when I'm using 2 strands together.

I decided to rip out and remake a knitting project I made last year.  I
didn't read the instructions well and made it in a way I've decided I don't
like, but now I can do better.  

The yarn is a bit twisted, though I've twirled it to untwist it as I'm
pulling it out.  Do I have to do more than that?  I think I've heard of
people washing and hanging it, but that seems like a lot of work.

Tracy
