Dear Abby for Knitters! – SHE’S BAAAACK
Knitter’s Advice Column
I’m so excited to announce my knitter’s advice column will be back and gracing the pages of Creative Knitting.
I need letters from you amazing knitters out there.
Coming soon . . . A knitter’s advice column called “Patty’s Purls of Wisdom.” We are looking for great, funny, interesting e-mails to feature from great knitters. We are here to talk about ANYTHING: techniques, tips, how-tos, knitting etiquette, lifestyle questions, you name it. Doesn’t matter how silly you think it is (in fact, we encourage the silly, as it helps us keep our life in perspective).
Questions like:
– What’s the best short row method for a scarf?
– What are the tricks to keeping your sanity when knitting lace?
– How do you avoid killing your spouse when he moves your shawl off the couch making your delicate stitches slip off the needle and your stitch markers tumble to the floor?
Please write them in letter form, just like the old letter’s to Dear Abby. We’d love to feature the full letter in the column, not just the questions, so have fun with it! Let’s all learn from each other and let’s start talking knitting! So e-mail your questions to:
E-mail Patty’s Purl’s of Wisdom (pattylyons@creativeknittingmagazine.com)
We look forward to reading your letters, and stay tuned for the first column of “Patty’s Purls of Wisdom.”
