–\tWhen dressing a doll in a knitted garment it is easier if you wrap the doll’s hands in cling film\/shrink wrap plastic to stop fingers snagging in the stitches and causing stitches to pull. <\/p>\n
–\tDifferent yarns drape differently-for example if a garment is to be draped over a chair, then a better result will be achieved using cotton.
\n
\n–\tWhen knitting in a dark colour place a white cloth on your lap to give a contrast against the stitches. The reverse helps if you are knitting with a light colour yarn.<\/p>\n
–\tWork in daylight where possible or use a daylight bulb in your lamp. This will cause less strain to your eyes. <\/p>\n
–\tIf you are having difficulty working out how a pattern works and what it should look like (for example a lace pattern) try knitting a sample piece of the pattern in full size first. <\/p>\n
–\tKnitting and crochet terms vary between countries (even English speaking ones!). If you are having difficulty understanding the knitting terms used in our patterns please contact us. <\/p>\n
–\tThe way we knit also varies considerably between countries, which may affect the way a pattern turns out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
