An Etsy shop owner, Hayley Ninnis enjoys collecting vintage clothing and accessories to sell. When she is not stocking her store, Hayley Ninnis likes to make clothes and knit.
Knitting a sweater for the first time can be daunting, but with a few tips from Craftsy and Lion Brand Yarns, a beginner can craft a well-thought-out piece. 1. Take accurate body measurements before starting a project. Only undergarments should be worn to ensure the best result. If a person expects to wear a camisole or tee shirt underneath the sweater, he or she should take measurements while wearing the garment. 2. Like sewing, seaming together knitted pieces works best when pinned together for alignment. Using yarn needles made especially for seaming also helps avoid splitting the material. 3. Take time to make a gauge swatch during the planning phase. This gives a person a better idea on how tightly he or she knits and the number of actual stitches created per inch. Depending on the swatch, the knitter can make necessary adjustments to create a perfectly fitting sweater.

Hayley Ninnis, a yoga and psychology enthusiast living in the Philadelphia area, pursues many additional interests in her free time. In particular, Hayley Ninnis enjoys building her collection of vinyl records. For individuals interested in starting a vinyl collection, there are a number of things to keep in mind.
First of all, one needs a turntable to play the records. Investing in equipment can be expensive, especially if someone purchases an advanced setup with speakers and a receiver. However, there are many all-in-one options available that enable people to listen to vinyl records at a lower cost. One the person has the necessary equipment, the next step is to begin building a collection. When purchasing a record, it’s important to check it for cracks and scratches, as these have a negative effect on music quality. Then, as you continue to grow your collection, be sure to clean the records with a soft cloth and a vinyl cleaning product to help ensure records stay in good condition. Vinyl records should also be stored in a cool, dry place and arranged vertically, as records stacked on top of one another can lead to warping. |
