Knitting Tips For New Year's Eve And Beyond

Friends don't let friends knit drunk.

Never cast on a new project after 1 a.m.

Never mix lace knitting and alcohol consumption.

If you have to frog any project made with mohair, place your project in the freezer for a few days. If you live in the northern climes, simply leave in your car overnight.

If, while driving, you are stopped by the police it's always a good idea to put your knitting down and back in your knitting bag before the officer approaches your car.

New Year's Eve is a great time to frog those projects that have been marinating unfinished in your stash for the past year(s) - especially as the ingestion of alcohol by the knitter makes the process more tolerable.

Swear by the Magic Loop or two circular needles methods? Those forgotten DPNs can be used as skewers for your New Year's Eve hors d'oeuvres.

And for those who checked out the new wine bar at a local yarn store/coffee shop tonight - never go yarn shopping on an empty stomach and have the glass(es) of wine after completing your purchases.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Did you wake up next to strange stash? If so, I hope it still looked good in the cold, harsh light of morning... Happy New Year!
