How can I make my knit projects look cleaner and more professional?
I taught myself how to knit due to the lack of creative or any type of homebody streaks in my mom. I try to do a project yet I never finish because I can not get the project to look clean. I have been doing it for about 2 years. I have mastered the basic scarf and hat but I’m trying to venture into other skills. Any patterns? Any hints or tips for someone who wants to knit a clean piece of fabric?
Do you wet block your projects when you’re finished with them? I didn’t think this was important until a month ago, I’ve been knitting since earlier this year. I made a small purse for myself and my sis-in-law also wanted one. So when I made hers I made sure to take my time on it and I wet blocked it at the end before sewing it together. I didn’t realize how good it could make something look. I ended up taking my purse completly apart, reknitting it and wet blocking it and it looked as good as hers. Before it was a little loose and more bulky.
When you knit the project always looks a bit messy until the end, after you wet block and gently press with an iron on low heat, no steam under a thin towel. http://www.knitty.com/issuewinter02/FEATdiyknitter.html I still say it’s important no matter what stitch you do.

How to Be $21.23 Officially an adult but locked into a perpetual phase of arrested development, an aimless twentysomething attempts to make sense of his go-nowhere life after being dumped by his girlfriend and forced to move back home with his parents. Art may still be far from mid-life, but no one can deny that he’s having a crisis. When his attempts at establishing himself as a sensitive singer/songwriter fail, Art dips into his inheritance money in order to experiment with a variety of new-age therapies and hire an eccentric self-help guru. Gradually, Art begins to make sense of the dysfunctional relationship he shares with his frustrated parents, and understand the unique role he plays in his small but close-knit social circle. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi |

A Matter of Life and Death $14.99 2003′s Dance of Death marked the triumphant return of old-school Iron Maiden. Gone were the murky, over-produced set pieces that clogged 2000′s Brave New World and in their place fell blistering slabs of Piece of Mind-era metal. That trend continues with their 14th full-length album, Matter of Life and Death, a more elaborate and meandering experience than Dance of Death, but a rewarding one for fans willing to indulge the group’s occasional excess. At over 70 minutes, Matter of Life and Death is closer to 1988′s woefully underrated Seventh Son of a Seventh Son than it is to Piece of Mind, but with far less keyboard tickling. Recorded live in the studio, epics like “Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg,” “Brighter Than a Thousand Suns,” and the brutal “Longest Day” — the whole record is a loosely-knit song cycle with war at its core — exhume prog rock complexity and discipline yet manage to bristle with the kind of small-club intensity usually reserved for acts half their age. At just over four minutes, opener “Different World” — a near twin of Dance of Death’s “Wildest Dreams” — is the only cut that screams single, but it’s also the most misplaced. On a record that positions beloved avatar Eddy on top of a tank with a machine gun leading a weary troop of skeletal soldiers to their doom, any act of brevity, no matter how expertly crafted, sticks out like a saxophone solo. [Matter of Life and Death is also available with a bonus DVD that includes videos, live performances, and rehearsal footage.] ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi |
