Ask the Geeky Girls -
Rhonda (DuellingNeedles) from Pennsylvania asks:
C.C.- When you reknit your sweater last month did you just frog it and ball up the yarn, or did you soak the yarn to get the kinks out of it first? If you didn’t soak the yarn, did you find it difficult to knit with the curly yarn?
