When Kristin knit Flow by Norah Gaughan, she was presented with a problem. The yarn, Berroco Seduce, is absolutely lovely but the slippery fibers made it hard to get the yarn ends to stay put.

To deal with unruly ends, Kristin uses crazy glue or super glue to tack then down after she’s woven them in for an inch or two. She also likes to use a patch of one sided fusible interfacing and iron it on to of the wiggly end.

Yarn made of slippery fibers like rayon and silk can be tough to keep in place. This tip will help keep your finished project looking clean and polished!

 

 

Scissors are a necessary tool to keep in our project bags, but keeping something so sharp and pointy next to our precious work in progress is just a disaster waiting to happen. They can snag on your knitting, or poke a hole through your project bag.

A simple way to protect your project is to just slip a point protector over the tip of the scissors. Press down a little for a snug fit and rest assured your project is safe from an accidental snip!
