Open Knitting Questions - Can You Help?

Every now and then I get a question that I cannot answer. I know - hard to believe isn't it!

Sometimes, I really don't know the answer, other times the person asking the question has not provided enough information (big hint - a photo usually helps!), but lately it is probably because there are things going on in my life that mean that I just don't have the time to work on the site.

Regular visitors to the site might already know, for new visitors suffice to say my father died recently and I have had to move interstate to be closer to my mother for a while. So my days are not my own at the moment...

There are more than enough unanswered questions to justify a section on the site dedicated to this type of question.

So here it is.

If you can help out by responding to any of these knitting questions (particularly any without a rating yet), all you need to do is to leave a comment on the relevant page (listed below).
