Love your site and am very grateful for your knitting tips–I’m using them already! When you are in Asheville, NC, later this month, be sure to check out the Southeastern Animal and Fiber Fair(SAFF–they have a website) the same weekend. You’ll be near and there are many knitters there as well as spinners, weavers, shepherds of all types of fiber animals.

I’m glad you’re using the tips!

I’m not going to be in Ashland. I’m just posting links to other people’s seminars. If you have information on the fiber fair, I’ll post that too!

1 “ridge” = a pair of rows. So, count the ridges and multiply by two.
Good luck!
