How do I add fringe on a knitted scarf?
This is quite easy! Do you have a crochet hook? I will assume you do for this approach, or that you are crafty enough to figure a work around (I’m sure you can!)take a length of yarn that is a little more than twice as long as you want the fringe to be (doesn’t need to be exact, you will Even it out at the end).Fold the yarn in half, creating a long “u” shape. Using your crochet hook, push it through the first hole on either side of the end of your scarf, just above your cast off row. Hook the top of the piece of yarn & pull it about halfway through. You will have a loop on one side of your scarf & the two tails of the piece of yarn on the other. Reach through the loop & pull the two tails through, then keep pulling on the tails until the loop has tightened up to the end of the scarf. Boom! One fringe done. Continue in this way across the rest of the bottom & again across the cast on edge to your hearts desire.Trim & clean up the edges to even out as needed. Hope this is what you were looking for!
What is the difference between a blanket and a throw?
The general blankets refers to a large piece of woolen or similar material used as a covering on a bed or elsewhere for warmth. Blankets are used in homes mostly on the bed but can also be used on the couch or sofa for warmth since cold is not just associated with lying on the bed. This is where the throw blanket comes in. The throw blanket is a special type of blanket which is most times a little smaller than the normal sized blanket and is associated with decoration; so they are often used over the back of a couch or chair, rather than on a bed. That way, they can be quickly "thrown" on your lap for quick comfort and coziness.One of the easiest ways to tell the difference between the two is the edges. Blankets are always hemmed while throws come with some type of fringe. Throws are made from special selected fabrics by different brands to be able to fit their aesthetic qualities. Nevertheless, having various brands can spell a danger in choosing the best. Some of the existing brands are just counterfeits. For you to be on the safe side, here is a compilation of the best throw blankets in latest reviews.
How quick would it take to crochet a blanket?
The answer will depend on a number of factors: what size yarn or thread are you using? How large is the blanket? How quickly can you crochet?Personally, I can make a 36 inch square baby blanket out of worsted weight yarn using double crochet in about 1.5-2 hours at my top speed. I am considered a very fast crocheter. If you would like to test out how quickly you can crochet , try crocheting a sample square. I would suggest crocheting about 6 inches square because this will give you a truer sense of your speed than crocheting a smaller test piece. Now, to figure out the length of time it will take you to create an entire blanket you will have to do some math. If it takes you 10 minutes to crochet a 6 in square, multiply this by 6 (36 in divided by 6 in equals 6) and it will take you about 1 hour to crochet a 36 in square baby blanket. . . .To create a queen size blanket (102 inches by 116 in), first add 102 + 116 is 218, 218 divided by 2 is 109, 109 divided by 6 (round UP) is 19. This means that you will have to crochet approximately the equivalent of 19 6in squares, so if one 6 in square takes you ten minutes, you will need 190 minutes for a queen blanket, or just over 3 hours. (Note: I have never heard of anyone crocheting a queen size blanket in 3 hours. . .maybe 3 days! This was just an example for the math) Figuring this all out will take time that could be spent crocheting a blanket, but if you are determined to know before you begin, this is the best way to find out.
Have you ever knit a Fourth Doctor Scarf and if you did, how did you feel about it?
I have not! I have thought about it, and thought really hard about it, to tell you the truth, but ultimately decided that the risk of wearing a crazy scarf with my wheelie was not something I was comfortable with.Sooooooooo.There are two ways to skin that cat, given I still want to do it regardless. One is to make a double wrap length cowl out of it, which would not give the exact same aesthetic, but would give the same crazy cozy feel, I think, and I have sufficient yardage for it. Something like this:(Not my cowl, but you get the idea better than if I tried to describe it)I’d change it to more chunky stripes according to the original stripe scheme and edge it thusly, make it all pretty. That is one possible solution I feel comfortable with.Solution two is to say meh, I like shawls, and I cannot lie, let us make a shawl.Something like this: Time Traveller's Shawl. It looks like this:There is every potential that I will end up doing both ultimately, but I think the double wrap cowl will happen first. I have the sandshoes after all!
Why were Afro combs found in ancient Egyptians tombs?
If you keep in mind that Egypt is in Africa, the answer is simple: Some “Citizens” of Egypt obviously were “Black”. But were the ancient Egyptians Black? Sure, some were.If you look at the colored, ancient bas-reliefs carved throughout Egypt, you will see that some were alabaster White, some very Black, but most Egyptians were a light shade of Brown. But were they Arabs, the way most of them are today? No, they were overrun by Muslim Arabs, in the First Millenium BC. At that time, the Arabs, acting on their rules against idolatry, rampaged throughout the country, breaking the noses off statues and stonework, where ever they could. That symbolic act clearly marked the division between the then Christian Egyptian Copts and the Arab conquerors. That symbolic act has been repeated many times as a result of Muslim conquests and might be considered one of their lasting cultural feats, along side the Taj Mahal, the invention of Algebra, and the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.The true Egyptians, the creators of the Pyramids are not the mostly Arab citizens of present Egypt. They are the Christian Copts. The tattered, often persecuted remains of the once great Egyptian civilization.note: While the Arabs were once the leading edge in science and mathematics, around 500 years ago the Muslim religion made a faithful turn. While they had previously believed in learning outside The Book, under the influence of powerful religious men, they began to teach that all knowledge was to be found in the Koran, and that learning outside the Koran was at least meaningless, and at most blasphemy. That has preserved Arab culture for hundreds of years, but at the cost of technical advance, That teaching must change for Arabs to become technologically relevant. That is their choice.

How do you clean a wool rug at home?
Sure. you can wash a wool rugs easily at your home.Here is the simple way for Cleaning Your Wool RugTake your wool rug outside. Shake off any loose dirt or dust that has accumulated on your rug since buying it or cleaning it last. Dirt and dust rubbing against rug fibers actually prove to be damaging to the quality of the rug over time.Be sure that it is dry wherever you shake it out. Shaking a wet rug can further embed the dirt you are trying to remove.If possible, designate an area where you can hang a clothesline and hang the wool rug like that. Beat against the rug with a broom to help shake it clean.Run a vacuum over your rug. Vacuum the rug in a “V” action to alternate the vacuum’s direction and prevent crushing the fibers of the wool rug. Repeat this 3 times over the wool rug.To keep dirt from building up and embedding itself in your delicate rug, anyway, you should be vacuuming regularly: twice a month. Vacuum the underside of your wool rug once every 2 months.Make sure the vacuum has a setting of a high height to avoid agitating the rug excessively. Shrinkage, piling, and overall damage to the wool fibers can be a result of agitating the rug too much.Shampoo the rug once all of the dirt has been removed. Sponge the rug with cool water and a mild liquid soap or rug shampoo. Wash the fringes of the rug with the same solution.Make sure that you wet the rug, paying special attention to the nap of the rug. When you brush your hand against a rug toward the outer edge in linear motions, one side will feel rough and the other side will feel soft. The soft side is the nap side. Apply the soapy water in the direction of the nap side.To finish the job, rinse all the soapy solution off the rug thoroughly with water. Make sure all soap is out of the rug before continuing on to the next step.Dry your rug immediately. Wool rugs require an extensive dry so do your best to get rid of any excess moisture on the rug by squeezing it out or hanging it out to dry under the sun. Never place them in a dryer, but feel free to use heaters to help facilitate its drying speed.Once the nap of the rug is dry, turn it over, and dry the back of the rug. Make sure both sides of the rug are completely dry before placing it back on the floor.If the material feels stiff after drying, vacuum the rug one more time or brush it gently to bring some of its softness back.
