I think all the KP videos are linked to YouTube. I think it is YouTube they use for showing them here. I might be wrong though. Definitely won't be the first time. Because I think you can find those 2 in the tutorials here also. I'll have to go check.

Well, I found the ML video on page 3 of the KP videos, but I didn't find the Emily Ocker, but that shows Kelley's name rather than KP on YouTube.

You're right! Well, that's good news! I tried to view a KP video a week or two ago, and couldn't get it to play. I can always do YouTube, though. I'm a happy camper! Thanks, Cheryl!!!

HELP! I live in the Uk and recently placed a largish order to be shipped to my friend in the US who was SUPPOSED to post it on to me - unfortunately this has not happened and I am feeling very miserable. There are many KP yarns and patterns I would like to try. Is there anyone out there who would be prepared to receive and send on an order for me? I would most definately send the postage out first obviously. I would appreciate any help!

I may have asked this question already, but I haven't heard a response, so here goes again: I made a shawl from Swish Worsted, and upon washing it has developed some holes. The holes are not the result of missed stitches (I looked for that), but the yarn appears to have unraveled or split. Any other folks out there whose Swish projects have developed holes?

Margie, I think this is the first I have heard of this. I would definitely report this to customer service. You might have to take a few picture to show them what you are talking about. Could these be where you joined your yarn?

That was my first thought, too, Cheryl.

I checked for this, and it's definitely a split in the yarn itself. I also wondered, since it uses a lace pattern, if it was a place where I had not picked up both stitches of a K2tog or SSK, but that was not the case, either. Taking pictures is a good idea - I'll do that. Through Ravelry, I was able to obtain another skein of the color (Terra Cotta), so I do have yarn with which to repair it, but exactly how to repair it will be another story! Thank you for your response!

Margie, I'm going to have to look in my library, but the is a book I got on how to repair holes and things. I'll have to search and let you know the name of it. I can't remember where I got it.

PS: I just looked where I thought I had it and, of course, it wasn't there. It's going to take me longer to look for it than I thought.

Margie, I came back to let you know the name of the book and where to get it when the site was down. Anyway, it is Flawless Knit Repair by Rena Crockett. I found it here at Schoolhouse Press. It is about ¾ of the way down the page. ♥c

PS: I'm afraid it basically addresses just stockinette stitch.

I haven't used Swish Worsted, but I made EZ's leggings out of Swish DK last year, and have worn and washed them many times with no sign of any problem. There can always be a bad batch I guess. What do the holes look like?
