POPSStoring wool clothing & things
For storage of wool sweaters, a simple wash is usually best. Let dry completely. If you need to store in an airtight container, be aware that the natural oils may cause “sweating” and discolor, which is why we try to stay away from plastic bags. Gram has folded her hand-knit sweaters and set them on a cedar plank (it is just set on top of the shelf) in the closet since 1930. She has yet to have a single moth or bug. When you can’t smell the sharp cedar smell, you can freshen the plank with sandpaper. I think she replaces the plank once a decade. I do use clear plastic totes, but mine are not airtight and I check to ensure there is no moisture under the lids after the first few hot days. I have a handful of cedar cubes that I toss into a bag for each box. The hubby just cut up a piece of cedar for those. I have my first hand knit wool square from 1977, and have never had a problem with moths or bugs - to this day it is as soft as the minute it came off the needles

POPSCrocheted Dodecahedron Pattern From Berroco I was browsing Berroco's site after having bought their Yoga yarn from Wool Mountain on Etsy, and started checking out their free patterns. They have some unique ones, and I thought this would be a neat toy for my little ones. I could put cellophane inside it to make it crinkle. Of could I'd use worsted since I have so much of it, maybe out of that rainbow yarn I've got. Ooooo

POPSAlpaca: Kangaroo or Dog? This story gave me a chuckle the first few times I read it. DemiDec Dan's blog is actually quite amusing... in some places, at least.
