While cleaning out my inbox I ran across this article about a sweater knit in wool and acrylic that somehow ended up in the washer and dryer. It did shrink to the point that the neck is now too small to go over the head of a child.

While shopping at Michael’s recently I saw a flyer pattern by Sugar ‘n Cream yarn to knit a cover for the Swifter Sweeper. I’ve been trying to resist purchasing more yarn until I use up enough stash to safely open the closet door. But I thought “I can buy this yarn because if it works [...]
