Labeling your knits. Use grograin ribbon and a fabric pen for
personalized labels- or use scrapbooking ribbon! We also talk about
holiday knits, and can't remember which podcast had the great idea of
making a list, but thinks it was either KIPing it Real or Here's to Ewe. Jasmin offers up her sock label template. (Send us an email at knitmoregirls@yahoo.com , and we'll send it to you!)When Knitting Attacks: (21:44)Jasmin joins her sleeves together. Gigi aspires to knit the Curved Lace Shawl, but is foiled by a tiny chart. Jasmin's Tempting II is a little more revealing than she would have liked.

We suggest them as a "gift for the knitter who has everything".Straw into Gold: (41:24)Jasmin
