I introduce a new segment this week - Your Mileage May Vary - a place to open up some discussion about some hot topics! Drive Rearview Mirror/Road Maps - choosing yarn and other tips for toy knitting The Knitted Teddy Bear by Sandra Polley Your Mileage May Vary - a new segment where I delve into some of those issues that always spur discussion among knitters. Join us over in the Ravelry Group for further discussion about this week's topic. This week I discuss pattern writing - how detailed should the instructions be? Line-by-line step-by-step, or more open-ended where it is up to the knitter to fill in the blanks. Yarn Harlot - "Shades of Grey" blog post on Monday, March 25, 2013 Jane & Jen Knit Funny - see episode 20 where Jane and Jen discuss how they re-chart patterns to fit their preferences and styles.
