Nationwide Knitting Craze Hits Four State Area

Nationwide Knitting Craze Hits Four State Area
Really?  Are we having a Nationwide Knitting Craze?  Again?  I love a good craft craze!

It'll be great if we do.  Wal-mart's sure missed the boat though.  As far as I can tell, they've cut back all their craft department offerings in the stores that I've been to lately.

Wal-mart's loss will be the LYS's gains though, won't it?  Maybe the big W has lost it's strangle-hold on the pulse of mid-america.  That would be sooooo good.  I could really look forward to the return of LYSs on Main Street and at the Strip Mall.  Actually, wherever and whenever I can find more yarn and fiber, I'm good with it.

Craft Yarn Council Sizing Standards

The Craft Yarn Council has Sizing Standards to use for knitting patterns.

Knitty.com recently reminded all submitters to use these sizes in their patterns.

When I ever get a pattern posted here, I plan on using these.

So, I'm adding a link over there in my list so i don't loose it.

There's also good information on yarns, needles, and levels of difficulty for patterns.
