TO WOOL, OR NOT TO WOOL

Wool might be warmer, but it is more demanding. Wool does not like to be washed in warm or hot water. Wool should always be washed in cold water. And wool garments should never be put in the dryer, unless there are special instructions.

Some of the ankle warmers/boot toppers are knit from wool yarn. I'm trying to figure out an easy way to mark the ankle warmers/boot toppers that are made of wool.

I GOT CARRIED AWAY . . . .

The muse did it. The writer's muse. You know how you get to thinking about one thing while you're doing another. The last few days I've been deep into thoughts about my current WIP, my cozy Leavenworth mystery, "It's Scary, Going Back Home," (www.leavenworthmysteries.blogspot.com) and just kept knitting . . . and knitting . . . and knitting . . . and . . .

Those ankle warmers are almost leg warmers. Not to worry, there will be some long-legged person who will think long ankle warmers are the cat's meow.
