Battlefield 3 Beta Access Included with Medal of Honor Limited EditionBy Brian Leahy, Jul 30, 2010 1:51pm PDT Out of nowhere, EA has announced that the limited edition of Medal of Honor will include access to the beta test for Battlefield 3 from DICE. Purchases of the LE will "receive an invitation to the Battlefield 3 beta within 12-months following the release of Medal of Honor."
confirmed to be in development in June 2009. Sounds like a fall 2011 release may be in the cards.
We presume this means we'll see Battlefield 3 for the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 as the beta details mention Xbox Live Gold being a requirement for Xbox 360 users. The game will use the Frostbite 2 engine, which powers Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and the multiplayer portion of Medal of Honor, both of which are PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 titles.
Thanks to Shacker ratsofatsorat for the tip.

By: doomgaurdian x Show Full PostThey're waiting for Bobby from Activision to give them word when the Rockefellers are ready to pimp World War 3.

My albatross
This cardigan has plagued my knitting basket for such a long time (since October 2007) that I know not what to say about its completion. Good riddance, perhaps!
I cast on while studying microbiology, and it immediately became clear that this pattern would never be a good study companion. The 12-row pattern repeat is simple – dull, even; however, it is just complicated enough to command attention. Since I almost exclusively knit while doing other things, the Katharine Hepburn Cardigan languished 18 months before I finally finished it.
In fact, I would say that I only finished it out of spite. The color is beautiful, but it really is not for me. I am not even so sure the style is right. This might have to stew in the cedar chest until I forget my complaints with it.
Pattern: Katharine Hepburn Cardigan by Kathy Zimmerman from Lace Style
Yarn: Brown Sheep Nature Spun Sport in "Chuckberry"
Needles: US 3 and US 5
The only modifications I made were to lengthen the body a little, knit the sleeves to full length, and reshape the sleeve cap a little bit.
Although the knitting proved miserable, the pattern itself was very clear, well written, and accurate. The faults are entirely my own, not the designer's. I should have known better than to jump into this one. Lesson learned the hard way.

It's still a very pretty sweater, obviously well-knit, and I think the color is lovely.
I'm sorry to hear it was such a slog. I've admired this pattern for quite some time and will probably do it myself someday. At the very least, I'm glad to hear that it's well written.
It does look lovely, and I hope that in time you fall in love with it!
You can't hurry love, apparently, but I wouldn't be surprised if after its purgatory, this sweater becomes one you reach for every time you want something a little dressy and not too warm. As for color — and it is indeed gorgeous — you could consider overdying it. But first see where the relationship takes you.
Did I mention its gorgeousness?
It's so sad you don't love it – I think it's beautiful! Could part of the reason be because you had such ill feelings towards it during the knitting process? Give it some time and hopefully you'll see what we all see!
I think it's beautiful, but I know how hard it is to resolve one's feeling about an unruly knit.
I love it. I have thought about making that sweater (though it would mean getting the book), and your version confirms to me that it is a beautiful sweater.
it's a beautiful sweater! put it in a time out for a little while and you will be happy with it again. I had the same problem recently with a pair of socks.
I've always loved that pattern, but when I swatched, I found it very hard to get into the rhythm. Not sure what my problem was. I love the way it fits on you, though, so congrats on getting (way) past where I am :-).
If it's any consolation, I too think it's lovely. The colour is splendid and the knitting looks impeccable. Beautiful stitch definition.
That's a beautiful albatross! (Though I can completely relate to the beautiful-to-wear-painful-to-knit thing) Hope you warm up to it eventually.
But damn, is it ever a gorgeous sweater! Glad you didn't just rip it out – it looks simply fabulous on you, dahlink.
I think it is so lovely and looks so good on you! I hope you do wear it.
I'm having a difficult time believing you don't love this sweater! It is soooo pretty and looks beautiful on you!
What a beautiful sweater!! I hope you wear it someday. A sweater as lovely as that shouldn't be hidden away. I
It's so pretty! This is in my queue too, but I'm a little daunted by it — if for no other reason than because I wonder if I have the endurance needed to finish it!
I have many old, old unfinished pieces and a love/hate relationship with various shades of magenta and pink, so I understand where you're coming from but it really is beautiful. Perhaps someday you will forgive it. ;)
hooray, it's done!! it looks really great. :) good riddance, indeed.
Some knits really benefit from a spell in time out. But yay! It's finished! It looks gorgeous despite how you feel about it. None of the knitting anguish is apparent in the stitches. Stick it in the cedar chest and maybe it'll be ready to come out next year.
Well, it's a good-looking albatross, I must say!
*Ahem* I like the color. I think it should come to my house to live, hee hee!
It was well worth it. It's beautiful.
This is a beautiful sweater on you. Maybe in the fall and next winter it will speak to you. I don't think this is the time of year to try on sweaters we are tired of wearing them. If you wear it in the fall I am sure you will get many compliments! It's so pretty!
It's good that you finish it as I think it looks good on you. I love the lace pattern. Maybe you will change your mind one day.
I could dream of knitting such a gorgeous item. Really not too sure why you don't like it because it fits you beautifully and looks fantastic on you. Hope you come to like it, cause you really should!
If it's any consolation, I love it too. It's a great color and beautifully knit.

(RNN) - The sports world is once again ready to be swept off its feet.
The next few weeks bring the world into "madness" with the NCAA men's basketball tournament.
Get your popcorn and brackets ready.
In 2013, the NCAA celebrates the 75th anniversary of March Madness. It is using the opportunity to commemorate its greatest players, teams and One Shining Moment in a bracket-style tournament, and giving fans the opportunity to select their favorites.
"A handful of moments and a dozen or so of the teams have started to separate themselves from their competition," said Dan Gavitt, NCAA vice president of men's basketball championships in a news release.
The interactive website includes a timeline of the tournament, comparisons of the players and videos of the best moments.
The final votes for fans will end March 24 on NCAA.com, with the winners revealed exclusively on the site on April 5.
The Top 15 players, the top team and top moment will be recognized April 6 in Atlanta, the site of the 2013 Final Four.
Votes for players are cast by fans as well as NCAA basketball experts and analysts.
Among the memories to choose from are 75 players, 25 teams and 35 moments.
"It includes players who are more than five decades removed from being college stars and many all-time greats in between," Gavitt said.
The list of players will be a tough competition.
Some of the play makers involved in the voting are known as greats in both college and professional basketball: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Larry Bird, Wilt Chamberlain, Patrick Ewing, Oscar Robertson, Bill Russell and Michael Jordan.
Others are more synonymous for their college pursuits, such as Christian Laettner, Kemba Walker and Joakim Noah.
The teams from the 75th anniversary are those who transformed the game of college basketball from generation to generation: the dominant UCLA teams coached by John Wooden that won five straight national titles from 1967-1972 or the 1973-74 NC State team that defeated them, ending their reign.
Other memorable and beloved teams in the running include the 1991-92 Duke Blue Devils in their back-to-back national title run, the 1995-96 "untouchable" Kentucky Wildcats team and the 1983-84 Georgetown Hoyas, Patrick Ewing's only championship collegially or professionally.
The top all-time moments reflect the bright spots throughout the 75 years of the tournament. Included is the first NCAA tournament championship won by the Oregon Webfoots in 1939, defeating Ohio State 44-39.
Another bright spot in the list is the 1966 championship game won by outsiders Texas Western, defeating powerhouse Kentucky. The first NCAA team to feature five African American starters defeated Kentucky coach Adolph Rupp and player Pat Riley.
Other great moments include the 1963 Mississippi State team that defied its governor's orders to play in a tournament against black players.
Greats from the past also make the most memorable list: The first title won by Duke University and coach Mike Krzyzewski and the beginning of the Magic Johnson/Larry Bird rivalry, still the highest rated college basketball game ever.
Another great moment is two 15-seed teams in Norfolk State and Lehigh defeating two No. 2 seeds, Missouri and Duke, on the same day in 2012.
One of the most replayed moments is the late Jim Valvano running around like a happy child as a last second shot propelled NC State to victory against Houston in 1983.
"To honor the growth of our sport," said Gavitt. "We are celebrating past players, teams and moments that have helped turn March Madness into one of the year's most anticipated sporting events."

Ashtabula's police chief spoke to 19 Action News about the details surrounding the shooting at the Hiawatha Church of God and Christ in Ashtabula.
The incident happened around 1:15 outside the church.
According to the report, an adult male waited for his father to exit the church after service was over took out a gun and shot him, fatally wounding him.
The victim's mother witnessed the shooting although most of the congregation was still inside the church.
One of the church's pastors had just gone in and he described the church as packed, with attendance higher than normal due to the holiday.
The pastor that spoke to our crew said that after the man shot his father, he then went into the church and sat down. Members and visitors were reportedly chaotically trying to figure out an alternate way to exit the building to avoid the shooter.
No other people were injured.
Among the attendees were the shooter's grandmother, aunts and uncles.
Police say that the shooter still had the gun in his hands when they arrived to deal with the situation and he was told to put down his weapon.
19 Action News also spoke with the victim's loved ones about what happened on this Easter Sunday turned upside down.
Ashtabula Police is currently investigating the shooting.

Salomon Shoes
Salomon, purveyor of fine ski and snowboard equipment, has one of the most extensive lines of trail running footwear on the planet. If trail running is your thing, you need to check out the variety of off-road styles that Salomon provides. Proprietary technologies give Salomon shoes numerous distinct features that set them apart from other brands including:
Salomon's proprietary Contragrip® puts lightweight tread materials where applicable and high abrasion or extra-durable materials in high impact and high wear locations. Contragrip® improves and evens out tread wear. In turn, Salomon shoes provide even support and control longer. Another significant Salomon design technology is what they call OS tendon. It is a band of stretchy Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) that improves the shoe's transition from heel strike to toe push. It connects the forefoot to the midsole and heel for a smooth and springy feeling foot strike. The OS tendon is visible in the tread. Finally, the Quicklace® lacing system provides fast, even and secure lacing for hours of snug running comfort.
Salomon is also committed to high quality materials and available technologies like GORE-TEX® XCR waterproof and breathable membranes. Several different models utilize waterproof and breathable membranes to keep your feet dry in mixed conditions. Others use highly breathable mesh uppers perfect for dry or hot conditions.
The Salomon XR Crossmax Neutral won the "Best Debut Award" from Runner's World Magazine in 2011. The XR Crossmax is a high-mileage model designed to get you from door to trail. It is an ideal choice for runners who run the road on the way to the trail as it offers enough cushioning for road use, as well as the stability and traction you need on the trail. The XR Crossmax is available in Neutral and Guidance models. Neutral, or cushion shoes, are designed for runners with an efficient foot strike looking for an emphasis on flexibility and cushioning. The guidance, or stability, version is designed for runners looking for extra support and pronation control.
Salomon's Sensifit® creates whole foot comfort by securely wrapping the whole foot. In an effort to further improve fit and comfort, Salomon also offers wide versions of popular designs. Wide versions are designated with M+, like the Salomon XA Pro 3D Ultra 2 M+.
Part of what sets a trail shoe apart from one designed for road running is added stability and support for uneven terrain. Salomon addresses this need with their 3D Advanced Chassis. Uneven terrain demands agility, and Salomon helps to give you every advantage they can.
For full weather protection and added ankle support, check out the Salomon XA Pro 3D Mid GTX style. It adds a mid-height cuff to the GTX for added weather and mud protection as well as ankle support. The breathable construction uses GORE-TEX® Extended Comfort for moisture regulation. The rubber sole adds a serious toe bumper for durability and protection.
From training shoes to race ready trail styles, Salomon has the biggest variety of trail running styles available. Enjoy the fit, stability and comfort of Salomon's high-tech design.

The Emergency Fund
Our History
Lisa, a single mother with mounting medical bills, was faced with a choice: buy her prescriptions to keep herself healthy or pay her electricity bill and provide heat for her children. Either option would have led to hardships for her family and potentially, her health. Thankfully, Lisa was able to receive help from the Emergency Fund. For over 40 years, the Emergency Fund has helped families like Lisa's when they have nowhere else to turn.
Forty years ago, Lisa's family would have been without heat and/or necessary medications. It was at this time that Norman H. Stone saw a gaping hole in Chicago's safety net for its most vulnerable residents. When community members were faced with a situation similar to Lisa's, no one was there to help them through the transition or crisis. In 1973, Stone changed the system and provided immediate financial assistance to people facing a crisis. With just three volunteers, he established the Emergency Fund and began to disburse resources quickly, covering costs for medication, food, bus passes, and even refrigerators.
In July 2004, the Emergency Fund merged with My Brother's Keeper, and in 2011, the Emergency Fund consolidated operations with the Chicago Alliance to End Homelessness, under the auspices of All Chicago – Making Homelessness History. The two organizations maintain separate 501(c)(3) statuses while working closely together to influence homelessness prevention, housing, and wrap-around services.
Thanks to our generous supporters, the Emergency Fund is on the forefront of financial assistance distribution in Chicago and will continue to help individuals and families in critical need.
Every day, individuals and families in our community experience a crisis that makes it impossible to afford everyday necessities such as utility bills, transportation to and from work, or rent. A lost job, an unforeseen medical expense, or the need to miss work to care for a sick child can threaten self-sufficiency and family stability. A single financial setback can be the start of an unmanageable spiral of debt and dependency that can lead to homelessness.
The Emergency Fund offers immediate help so Chicago families and individuals can stay in their homes, keep food on their tables, and handle life's unexpected needs. We are there for people who have nowhere else to turn.
The Emergency Fund's assistance helps prevent homelessness by intervening during a crisis—our Flexible Financial Fund program is designed to mend a leak before it becomes a flood. Sometimes all a person needs is a uniform before he or she can start a job that will lead to financial security. Other times, a family needs help with a month's rent due to a temporary lapse in income. Everyone's situation is unique, which is why our program is so flexible.
The Emergency Fund works in partnership with 30+ civic and social service agencies throughout the city. People in need of assistance can access our financial assistance by walking in to a partner agency or by calling 3-1-1 and asking for "Short-Term Help" to be connected to the Chicago Homelessness Prevention Call Center . At each agency, a Fund Manager assesses a family's needs and determines the eligibility for a wide array of programs and services, including the Emergency Fund's programs.
Our service delivery model is responsive and cost effective. Fund Managers have immediate access to the Emergency Fund, allowing them to respond to a family's need within hours or days - not weeks or months. Because our Fund Managers are employed by our partners, we are able to keep our costs to a minimum.
Our collaborative service model allows us to expand our reach across Chicago, and benefit from the collective experience, expertise and network of our partner agencies. Our partners have expressed that our partnership empowers them to help individuals and families immediately, leverage other resources, and resolve crises before they escalate. These partnerships are critical to our success, and mutually beneficial to our partners
The Emergency Fund administers four programs:
Flexible Financial Fund
The Flexible Financial Fund is the primary program of the Emergency Fund. It is designed to prevent a sudden financial setback from becoming a long-term financial crisis. The two types of grants we offer through our Flexible Financial Fund are:
Crisis Solution Grants: Our Crisis Solution Grants are designed to help provide immediate help to people experiencing a crisis. Crisis Solution Grants are often used for transportation passes, food vouchers, eye glasses, prescription medicine, and clothing. Payments are made directly to landlords, utility companies, or other service providers on behalf of the client.
Self-Sufficiency Grants: Our Self-Sufficiency Grants are designed to help move families to a more sustainable income. They assist families with rent, utilities, and basic necessities while the head of household completes an employment program.
Special Funds
Special Funds are specially designated funds that provide financial assistance for basic needs for specific target groups.
State Homelessness Prevention Fund
The Emergency Fund was selected to administer the state of Illinois' Homeless Prevention Funds for residents of Chicago. These funds provide assistance for security deposits, rent, mortgages, and utilities.
Rapid Re-Housing Program
The Emergency Fund was selected by the city of Chicago to administer this funding for Chicago. The funds provide assistance for rent, security deposits, utility bills, and moving and storage costs.
Seeking assistance? Click here for information on finding help.
Our financial assistance is delivered through our partner agencies. This allows us to have the greatest reach in an efficient manner. Our partners offer a variety of services to assist individuals and families with long-term solutions and/or a path to self-sufficiency.
Interested in becoming a partner?
The Emergency Fund takes a wide variety of factors into account when assessing potential partners. Click here to review the criteria. Organizations interested in becoming an Emergency Fund partner should review the criteria before expressing interest in forming a partnership. If you believe your organization qualifies, you may send a letter of interest and description of your services (annual reports, newsletters, brochures, etc.) to Kathleen Molnar, Vice President of Programs. Decisions about partnerships are typically made in December, with a planned January 1 start date.
The Emergency Fund offers immediate help so Chicagoans can stay in their homes, keep food on their tables, and handle life's unexpected needs. We are there for people who have nowhere else to turn. Our donors' support made a tremendous impact in 2013:

Ok, i need help with bday present ideas for caroline. She has a kitchen, which she loves, babies, mil is getting her a cozy coupe for her bday. Im racking my brain (and the internet) for ideas. Is there anything your 2 year old loves? Help! Tia!
Ok, i need help with bday present ideas for caroline. She has a kitchen, which she loves, babies, mil is getting her a cozy coupe for her bday. Im racking my brain (and the internet) for ideas. Is there anything your 2 year old loves? Help! Tia!
I saw that at TRU yesterday. Not really her thing though. I dont think it would be played with much.
Olivia got this for her second birthday: http://www.target.com/p/b-parum-pum-...lot=medium_1_2
She still loves them. We play the instruments along with music often
Some of Maiya's favorite things for this stage in her life (she's 2 years 7 months, and just moving on to the next "set" of toys and activities) have been:
Mega blocks / duplos (but she needed me to guide her play a LOT at first)
A simple wooden train set
This fire house / police station (this has probably been her FAVORITE ever. She got it last Christmas at 20 months, and to this day it's a major favorite. I do recommend setting it up on a piece of plywood, though)
Sticker books
Rocking moose (like a rocking horse, you know)
Bread, fruit, veggies, etc for her kitchen that can be cut
Little plastic figurines (she likes animals best)
A crib and high chair for her babies
Cars / airplanes / motorcycles, like hot wheels and such (including the larger ones that came with the fire house)
Inflatable ball pit / wading pool
Shape sorters. Her personal preference was for the type that she could push the shapes all the way through, not the puzzle type that you just laid on top.
And, of course, books, books, and more books!
DD is 2 years, 8 months. She has been really into babies for quite awhile - so anything for her baby dolls, such as a cradle, a doll stroller or high chair.
She also really enjoys Duplo blocks, and plays with them a lot.
Books - she loves reading.
Musical instruments - she got a real (but small) guitar for her 2nd birthday. It still gets played a lot.
She got a kitchen and a tea set for Christmas right before she turned 2, and those are definitely still being enjoyed.
A toddler size table & chairs where she can sit and do her coloring, etc.
My DD loved (she is just now outgrowing them) but the 'little people' sets. She especially loved the house and family set, and the school bus. Every birthday/Christmas, we've been adding to her collection, hours of entertainment for her. She is 4.5 now and is transitioning to Playmobile, but I can't believe how long she was into her little people!
Another huge hit was a bathtub toy set, Dress up dolls (they are flat) and stick to the side of the tub/walls. I forgot the brand, but you can buy the set at toys r us. They lasted for over 2 years!! The set comes with two girls, and a variety of clothing/accessories that stick when wet, I can tell you, they are long lasting!

The design of the Inferno is strikingly elegant and dynamic. A design which highlights the technical aspect of the helmet, another of the Inferno's strengths.
The MET Research and Development team has designed its own IT software called Nova 3 that enables them to test their helmets virtually even before building a 3D model. When ready to launch production of the first prototype, MET have already been able to fine tune the design and offer the best volume, weight, shock absorption capacity, rigidity and ventilation ratio possible.
The competitive edge is visible and even measurable. MET helmets are among the most resistant and lightweight - and they don't even need to use carbon. The Nova software also saves a considerable amount of time and money which is why MET helmets offer the best performance for the price on the market.
Ultimalite fibre strengthens the structure to which it is applied to such an extent that it is possible to lower the density of the materials used and thus lower the helmet weight without altering the shock absorption capacity.
Kevlar straps offer optimised performance and comfort. Although improving performance is often at a cost to comfort and vice-versa, this is not the case with our exclusive Kevlar straps. Ventilated, breathable, lighter and ultra-resistant, they have numerous advantages over traditional straps. Coolmax anti-allergenic interior pads are made of a high-tech material assures rapid evaporation of absorbed perspiration for greater comfort. - A.D.

By Cara Hutt
(CNN) -- The over-the-top, undeniably sexist Ron Burgundy of the "Anchorman" movies may be a legend in his own right, but according to Will Ferrell, the story of the real-life inspiration for his comedic character -- 78-year-old retired newsman Mort Crim -- is the stuff of TV legend, too.
Ferrell recently told the New York Times he got the idea for the movie while watching a documentary on the late anchor Jessica Savitch, one of the first women to anchor newscasts in the 1970s. During the documentary, Ferrell recalled, the filmmakers interviewed Crim on what it was like to have Savitch join the news team.
"(Crim) literally said the line: 'You have to remember, back then I was a real male chauvinist pig. I was not nice to her,'" Ferrell recently told the New York Times.
HLN talked to Crim, a 35-year veteran of television news in Philadelphia, to get his take on the what it's like to have inspired the "legendary" franchise.
HLN: When did you find out you inspired the character of Ron Burgundy?
Mort Crim: I knew about that 10 years ago (when it was mentioned in an interview). One of Will's agents contacted me and said, "Can you send him an autographed picture. He's a huge fan of yours." I said, "Sure." I autographed it, "Will you've almost got it, just a little more authenticity. Your friend the real anchorman, Mort Crim." Will has said it's hanging in his office.
HLN: What was your reaction when Jessica Savitch, the real-life inspiration for the movie's Veronica Corningstone, joined your Philadelphia news team to become the first female prime-time anchor? Was it anything like the movie?
MC: I was quoted as saying that I was a typical male chauvinist pig. I have to go back and look at the interview, but I was probably being funny as I said that. I really wasn't a chauvinist. It was an old boy's club, sure. Looking back at it, she was 25 years old with very limited experience and suddenly they're putting her in a major news market. There might have been a little snobbishness in it. There was the feeling she hadn't earned the right to sit in this chair. But, after it was determined that she was going to sit next to me on the news, I took her out to dinner. The decision had been made, and I told her I'm here to be supportive, and anything I can do to help you I'm here. Whatever tension we felt was short-lived. We became extremely good friends.
HLN: Do you see yourself in the character?
MC: I'm an anchorman, but I don't see myself in the character of Ron Burgundy. Consequently, I don't take offense in it. Have I seen a few Ron Burgundys over the years? A few. But they're not the norm.
Every storyline in that movie can be traced back to some element of truth. One of the things Jessica bristled at at the station was they wanted her to go out and do the panda in the zoo stories, and she said, "Look I'm a reporter. I'm here, I can do anything the guys can do," and she did and eventually went on to NBC. If you could pick out any scene, I bet I could trace it back and say, "OK, there is a grain of truth in that."
HLN: But do you play the jazz flute?
MC: I play the piano. If I could play the jazz flute the way he supposedly did in the movie, I wouldn't be an anchorman.
HLN: What is the most outrageous thing that happened in the newsroom in the glory days of network news?
MC: When I started in the business, people smoked in the newsroom. I don't remember any drinking, but there were probably a few people who had a little stash in their desk ... We did play tricks on each other. We would put things on the teleprompter. They put this naked woman up on the teleprompter right in front of me. You had to keep your composure.
HLN: Has Ferrell's name-dropping affected your life in any way?
MC: Only that I don't have time to do much except do interviews.
HLN: Were you really invited to the premiere of the upcoming movie, "Anchorman: The Legend Continues"?
MC: Will has invited us to the "Anchorman" premiere. He's quoted in one of his interviews saying when he meets me, he's going to plant a big kiss right on my lips. I already told my wife she is going to have to stand between us.

How To Wash Your Woolens
Recently, several knitters – that is to say, people who should know better – noted to me the unnecessary hardship of asking a new mom (it's always mom), and especially a non-knitter, to handwash woolens. This is such bunk. You know that, right? I have never found it much of a chore, but I knit, I like wool, and I use (and wash) cloth diapers; it's quite possible my tolerance of laundering is high. However, upon further discussion with the let's call them Begrudgingly Acrylic Knitters, I discovered they have no idea how quick and easy it is to wash a wool garment. I thought I would put together a brief tutorial on how to do it quickly and effectively. I promise that it is at least as easy as, and I think easier than, regular laundry.
First, always keep your dirty woolens in their own basket. This ensures they remain separate from the regular wash and protects them from accidental felting.
I wash my woolens either when I run out of socks or when my wool basket gets too full. I did a wash today because Odysseus is low on sweaters and he spit up all over his bunting this morning. He is a very leaky child. I will return to this point later (I know, you can't wait).
Prepare your washing machine (yes) for a small load and allow it to fill with cold water. Add a capful of wool soap – not too much, just a small capful. I use Eucalan, but SOAK is nice too. Do not use Woolite – your knits deserve better. Stop the machine before the agitation cycle begins.
ETA: Without access to a washer, smaller items can be washed in this manner with a salad spinner. For that large, cabled, tunic-length sweater? You're on your own!
Toss in your knits. Trust me, I won't felt your woolens.
Your sweaters and socks will float on top of the water. The wool will eventually take up water and sink, but it is incredibly resilient. Help it out: push down your items to submerge them.
This is the variable stage. I often set this up before bed so they can soak overnight. Some people only soak an hour. I have been known to forget about wool washes and leave them for 36 hours. Don't do that, but soak them for as long as you find convenient.
Be sure to tell everyone in the household that there is wool in the washing machine. Deliver this information in the same way you would share that the iron is hot, the gas burner is lit, or the car is running. Impress upon your cohabitants that under no circumstances are they permitted to so much as enter the laundry room. Oh wait, that's the rule in my house… I encourage you to be as bossy as you like.
Done stewing? Turn the washing machine dial to spin-only. This is the end of the washing cycle in which the water is spun out of the clothes. I assure you, your washing machine has a spin-only cycle. Mine does, and it is the cheapest, most worthless machine money can buy (it has two cycles: on and off). Ask me about how we bought appliance insurance then cloth diapered now two children in an attempt to kill it. The stupid machine runs like a champ.
Right. You don't care about my piece-of-junk washing machine. Sorry. Let the spin-only cycle go to completion. When you open the washing machine, you will find damp but by no means soaking wet woolens. If you find them too wet, run the spin cycle again.
Lay out garments on towels. Sometimes, I spread out a couple of towels on a bed. If I'm washing lots of socks, I string a clothesline and pin the socks to dry. That's a lot of work. Do as you see fit, but know that depending on the fiber content, your garments will be dry in anywhere between a few hours and a day. If they take longer to dry, you did not spin out enough water.
I feel I need to make one final point about babies and wool. Babies leak. Odysseus has never met a surface he deemed unworthy of spit up. He is the messiest baby I have ever known. Yet, he wears the woolly bunting Sally made him every day and today is the first time it has been washed. And no, it hasn't been gross and covered in baby goo all this time. Careful use of bibs (or in his case, large cloth diapers as bibs) has kept it plenty clean.
Don't ever feel like you have to sacrifice quality for ease of use! Teach people how to wash woolens. It will prove useful long after their babies leave the house – after all, who survives without wool socks??? Babies can wear wool. New, sleep-deprived moms can wash wool. And you know what? Dads can too.

You have converted me! In all honesty, I was headed in this direction anyway after knitting a baby blanket out of acrylic yarn which I ended up hating. I think I've been a little resistant to give hand wash items because I'm not a mom and don't really know what it's like. Now I'm going to give gifts made of wooly goodness with a link to this post :)
Unfortunately I live in an apartment building, so I can't do this. There's no control over the cycles of the wash. I have to wash things by hand. I don't have a lot of things that I need to wash regularly though. I wash my socks in cold water with the rest of the clothes then hang them up to dry.
I'm with Melissa – one day I will have my own cheapo washing machine, with a spin-only cycle! Until then… le sigh.
(Elinor's husband here) If you're just washing socks or something very small and you need a soak and spin cycle, could you just use a salad spinner?
I loved this tutorial! I'm going to forward it to a few people I gifted wool items to.
You know, I've gotten this lecture from ladies at the local LYS so many times whenever I've tried to get a recommendation for superwash wools and yes, you're right, washing hand knits IS very easy, BUT…
You're assuming that all the recipients of our gifts have access to a) a washing machine, b) washing facilities period, or c) a member of the household responsible enough to split up the wash or take responsibility for doing the hand washing.
Not everyone has a washing machine. One of the nieces I knit for regularily spends most of her year living in a dorm room and doesn't even have a private sink, nor any place to do the washing up besides a public laundromat. Another niece lives with her father and neither will even seperate laundry into colours, let alone hand vs machine wash.
I'm glad you've spelled out a good tutorial for how to wash hand knits, but man, I am soooo tired of being told that acrylic is bad and everyone should hand wash. It's just not an option for a lot of people. A lot of other people have just never been taught basic home making skills and are too terrified of ruining a garment by mistake and will just never wear it. I'd rather give something that I know my giftee will use and appreciate, even if it is made with superwash or the hated acrylic.
This is a great tutorial but I'm with Melissa and Grumperina. I only have shared laundry facilities (so can't leave items soaking for hours) in my apartment building — and the machines can't be set to spin only. I still don't like knitting with acrylic, though. I wash my socks with the other laundry and hang to dry, and I attempt to buy superwash or other machine-washable fibers for other things.
Oh, and I cloth diapered too. In my experience, laundering cloth diapers is a lot easier than dealing with hand knits!
Well, I can see the points made by Melissa and Grumperina, but thanks and 'here, here' from me. Having lived in Australia (land of top loaders) and the UK (land of front loaders), I think that if you have access to your own machine, washing woolen handknits is pretty straight forward. I have a far worse track record with stockings and tights than I do with handknits! Any tips for getting stains out of toddler handknits (I'm thinking of those horrible sleeve cuff stains that seem to occur no matter how careful I am to roll up sleeves/take off jumpers when eating)?
I have a front loader, and it's even better. It's super gentle in general, as well as having a 'gentle', 'handwash' AND a specific woolen setting.
If you're an adult person hand washing one jumper isn't that big a deal – it really only needs spot cleans, and then a wash at the end of winter. Same deal, just soak it, agitate it a bit, and make sure it dries flat.
That said, I'm sort of with Alison. I've made regular wool things for knitters, but I don't think I would for non knitting parents. I feel like THEY feel like it's more of a burden than it is, and even though I disagree, I want to give them a gift, not something else to learn in those first crazy months. I've found a couple of sources of superwash that aren't TOO bad – still not the same, but also not red heart acrylic. Grown ups, however, get wool, and a lecture, SHOULD they be so lucky as to recieve a gift!
Wow, great tutorial.
I´ll let you in on a little secret. I haven´t washed my wool sweaters in like 6 months. I don´t think you can do that with acrylics. I will never knit in acrylics since I think it´s a waist of time and effort.
and no, my woolens don´t smell. and they don´t have any stains on them. I alternate between 4 which I use everyday. If they were to smell I simply just hang them outside to air out.
I lazy and wool is soo convenient.
My washing machine has the opening on the side so I don´t think I can fill it up with water like that but I´m going to look into it.
This post is super helpful. I actually just went down to my basement to see if I had a spin cycle — I do — it's color coded and little hidden, but it's there :-)
Thanks for the tutorial. I like Aaron's suggestion too! I have a front loader with a wool cycle and it works great.
As for leaving things to soak for a long time, I made that mistake just last week and the dye bleed that came out of my gorgeous new fingerless mitts changed the color dramatically. Heart stopping, it was. That would be my only caution to your instruction (maybe hand dyed yarn needs extra care?)
Thanks! I've been doing this half-cocked self-invented "ice-cold water in the bathroom sink vs. my already-cold-from-winter hands" method, since I only recently started keeping some of my wool FOs for myself. Your method is much more sensible, and makes me finally want to buy some Eucalan!
Great tutorial! I always wash my woolens in the sink. I think I'll give your method a try next time. Thanks!
Excellent tutorial! I love the pictures, too. I usually handwash in the sink, then spin in the machine to get the moisture out. I love your system of a separate basket for the knits..mine always get jumbled up in the bottom of the hamper forever then when I finally wash them its like Christmas and I'm getting all these new sweaters all over again!
Great post, thanks for the tutorial! I'm bookmarking this for the wonderful day when I have a washing machine in my home! I may have to try the salad spinner method in the meantime.
What a great post! I have to admit, I've been too chicken to try to wash my woolens using the washing machine, but maybe now that I've seen your step-by-step directions, I'll give it a try!
This post full of nice clean- and crisp-looking woolens makes me want to get all of mine washed up nice and pretty.
Though I'd love it if one of the previous commenters did a post like this with a front-loader–I'm still afraid to use the "handwash" setting for my knits on the one I sometimes have access to… Now, unfortunately, for the time being I'm stuck with laundromat facilities and hand washing wool, but it's not too bad either. Just takes much longer to dry. If I had a salad spinner though, I would definitely try that out.
I am a wooly, too, even one that is blessed with a Miele frontloader with its own wool program, but I sucked in every word you wrote, and had a real good laugh! Thanks so much for sharing, great post!
Well done & well said!
Just to make it official, I am hereby giving Elinor permission to make any and all modifications necessary to continue using the magical bunting in the winter of 2010-11 and beyond, including extreme measures with scissors. Because a baby deserves to be warm, darn it!
(Not that you need my permission, but you asked. And I couldn't be happier that you and O are getting so much mileage out of it!)
Echoing the request for someone here with experience using a frontloader for washing wool to offer a tutorial as excellent as the top-loader tutorial Elinor has provided. Is there a soaking step, or does pushing the button for a "woolens" cycle or "delicates" cycle do everything that needs to be done?
Just a point I feel I need to make for those of us in tropical climates and with (honest to goodness doctor verified) wool allergies – the choice is not between acrylic and wool these days. Bamboo, for example, is a great fiber for babies. There are a dearth of patterns out there with recommended fibers that don't include wool, so you have the hassle of considering carefully and substituting. But, there is a way to have quality without having the wool.
That is so very helpful! Thanks!
That is exactly the method I use to wash my woolens. To the lady who said her wool items bled, they will bleed enough in 30 minutes to ruin your stuff too (ask me how I know).
My attitude is, given the time and effort that goes into knitting something, if someone cannot take the time to care for it properly, they are not worthy of such an item. Every "wash-and-wear" items need proper care or they will be stretched out of shape and rendered unusable.
All of my children wear wool, and not even superwash wool – real wool.
This is very helpful. I hand wash all my woollens & have not problem with that.
So wait… how does everyone *else* wash their woolens?
thanks for this. i use a similar method. i also use this washing machine method for blocking. how do you block?
Wonderful post. I will be referring back to this in the future when I don't live in an apartment and have access only to front loaders :)
ps, that bitty wrap cardigan is the cutest thing I think I've ever seen. I must knit one! What is the pattern?
I agree with Monica and only wash my sweaters occasionally. I wear them for one or two days, then hang them in front of an open window to air out. This is not an option for babies of course. I think the main mistake people make when washing wool is that they use water which is not cold enough. When it feels lukewarm the water is above body temperature, which is too high for wool (unless you do not agitate it at all).
This is a great article. Almost exactly the way I wash my wools. I love knowing that I'm not the only person to wait till I've run out of socks to wash my socks…
I do stop every spring and pull out all the wools I've worn all winter and wash them all at once to be put away for the summer months…that's where the photo at the top of my blog comes from, last years washing photo…pretty funny!
Thanks for the fun discussion/
I love your tutorial but am equally excited to discover you now have a complete set……a girl and a boy! Congratulations! And thanks so much for reinforcing my desire to use wool for babies. Have never been able to bring myself to use anything else. Your knitting continues to be inspiring as usual. Thanks.
Great post! Really made me chuckle.

text: This might sound completely weird but I just had to tell you ladies here because I think you'll get it. All along through everything happening with baby girl we've in a way wondered if maybe she was the baby that we lost when I miscarried. She was born when our baby was supposed to be born and there were just so many little things that made us wonder. We always believed that our baby would come back to us somehow, and it's definitely true that if I'd carried to term we wouldn't be here with her now. So...we've always wondered. Well today we looked up the name we call her. It's just a nickname for the name her mom gave her so we never really thought of it as a real name but it's what we've always called her and what she responds to and what we've come to know her as. Well, my dad looked it up and told me it was a real given name. Lol. And told me I should look it up. So I did, and it turns out that it means "reborn" or "to rise again". Now, maybe I'm nuts but that just seems insane to me (in an awesome way of course) that that's what the name we call her means. We've always said it suited her oddly and didn't know why. Just had to put that out there because it blew my mind when I looked it up. I hope all of these crazy things that have happened aren't just coincidence and that they're signs somehow that she's meant to be with us forever. I won't believe that completely though unless/until her last name is changed to ours. But...cool moment today.

Construction will resume Thursday at the site where a worker got stuck in mud for nearly four hours before being rescued.
Joseph Barone remains in serious but stable condition. He told reporters he's looking forward to getting back to work.
Rescuers freed Barone from mud and debris 75 feet below ground.
Fire officials say he was pulled out shortly after 12:30 a.m., after he became stuck up to his chest.
More than 150 firefighters responded to the scene at Second Avenue and East 95th Street. Three firefighters suffered non-life threatening injuries during the rescue operation. A Consolidated Edison vacuum truck was sent to scene to help remove debris.
It happened at around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday.
In September, a controlled blast at the Second Avenue construction site sent rocks flying into the streets when steel plates covering the blast failed.
The worker is in serious but stable condition.

|Competitive Bidding Requirements Under the Federal-Aid Highway Program
The competitive bidding requirement of 23 U.S.C. § 112 imposes, in addition to procedural rules dictating the process by which bids are awarded, a substantive limitation on state or local bidding requirements that are unrelated to the bidder's performance of the necessary work.
Section 112's competitive bidding requirement does not preclude any and all state or local bidding or contractual restrictions that have the effect of reducing the pool of potential bidders for reasons unrelated to the performance of the necessary work. Rather, section 112 affords the Federal Highway Administration discretion to assess whether a particular state or local requirement unduly limits competition.
Generally, state or local government requirements that eliminate or disadvantage a class of potential responsible bidders to advance objectives unrelated to the efficient use of federal funds or the integrity of the bidding process are likely to unduly impede competition in contravention of the substantive component of section 112's competitive bidding requirement.

The Federal Employee Compensation Act gives the Department of Labor the authority to control and limit the disclosure of FECA records held by the United States Postal Service, and DOL's FECA regulations prohibit USPS from disclosing FECA records in a manner inconsistent with DOL's Privacy Act routine uses.
The Labor Department's regulatory regime for FECA records is consistent with and furthers the purposes of the Privacy Act.

The fact that a patient has viewed child pornography may "give reason to suspect that a child has suffered an incident of child abuse" under the statute, and a covered professional is not relieved of an obligation to report the possible abuse simply because neither the covered professional nor the patient knows the identity of the child depicted in the pornography.

A reservist who performs military service that qualifies for leave under both 5 U.S.C. §§ 6323(a) and 6323(b) may elect to take leave under section 6323(a) without first using all of his or her available leave under section 6323(b).

LONDON (Reuters) - The Jacksonville Jaguars will play the San Francisco 49ers in London next year in the first of four annual games the Florida-based franchise are staging in the British capital, part of the NFL's drive to expand its international audiences.
While regular season NFL games have been played at Wembley Stadium every year since 2007, the Jaguars are the only team committed to playing 'home' matches at the 90,000-seat venue on an annual basis.
The NFL said other teams could take games to continental Europe or Latin America if the Jaguars made a success of their foray across the Atlantic.
"We want to prove that fans here can become fans of a specific team," NFL Chief Marketing Officer Mark Waller told the Leaders in Football conference.
"If we can make this work here, there are many other markets," added Waller, a Briton.
European soccer clubs have made themselves more attractive to sponsors by building a global fanbase who follow their matches on television and online.
They have developed that following by going on pre-season tours around the world but have not taken regular league games away from their fans.
"The Premier League has led the way in terms of globalization," Jaguars owner Shahid Khan told Reuters.
"Perhaps we can learn some lessons from them about how to spread the love for the NFL," he added.
The Jaguars have struggled to fill their roughly 67,000-seat home stadium at times and are one of the NFL's weaker franchises, having not posted a winning season since the 2007 campaign.
The 49ers were five-times Super Bowl winners in the 80s and 90s and are emerging as a force again in the NFC West. The game will be played on October 27, 2013.
The 49ers played at Wembley in 2010, defeating Denver Broncos 24-16 in front of a crowd of almost 84,000.
Wembley will host NFL action on October 28 when the New England Patriots play the St Louis Rams, who are the designated home team.
