I usually baste the whole afghan RS together. I just fold the thing in half and work a basting stitch from the fold to the other side of the fold and pop it in the washer. Keep in mind all my afghans are done in acrylic yarn so they can be washed. I made the mistake once, and only once, of making a baby blanket in Cotton Tale 8. Talk about heavy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm an avid machine knitter. I was the first YouTube creator to upload free machine knitting lessons. My goal was to get people to see these wonderful machines in action, Consider joining my Facebook group, “Knitting with Diana Sullivan,” where 9,000 members share their projects, ideas, and questions on just one topic: knitting! This is a happy, accepting place to share your MK challenges and projects.
I offer classes and patterns that make knitting easier and more fun, with key techniques shown, plenty of color photos, clear unabbreviated language, meticulous finishing techniques, and inventive solutions for better results.
I'm a retired CPA. My husband John and I will be married 50 years on December 21, 2024, and we live in in Austin, Texas. We have two adult sons and a beautiful daughter-in-law. John collects and fixes antique motorcycles, and also has a Model A.
