To thank you all for your patience while I updated my website design (I hope you like pink), I've added some new free stuff to Knitting-and.com!

Brand new in the spinning and dyeing section are a tutorial on working with sari silk waste threads and instructions for the method I use to wash raw fleece.

Also new in the spinning and dyeing section are some articles by my sister Tracy, including her technique for washing raw fleece, a description of yarn count (those weird numbers on cones of yarn), how to skirt a fleece and what to avoid when purchasing a new fleece.

I've also added all my tutorials and patterns from Southern Cross Knitting, since the next issue of the magazine will the last one due to time constraints.

I have attempted to fix the problem with knitting patterns printing off the side of the page, but they'll need to be thoroughly tested by visitors to find out if my solution was succesful.

I removed the software section since much of the software I had for download doesn't work with the latest versions of Windows.

Finally, I've updated all of the logo products on cafepress with the new logo.

Please let me know if you notice any broken links, missing pictures, or if patterns still print off the side of the page.

Now, the links so you know where to find everything! Where I've listed an index page you'll find all the new things marked as "**NEW**"
