I did a search and found this used a lot but could not find the meaning: WOTA. What is WOTA? Also, for those of us who are newbies to this forum (and knitting in general) is there a list of forum abbreviations (not knitting abbreviations - I've seen that list and than Amy for it!) so that we don't have to keep asking?

Its VERY inexpensive and it felts WONDERFULLY. Several of us are using it for the FT Clog pattern. I wouldnt use it for anything other than felting, though....its not very soft.

So much to learn! How will I remember it all?!?!

I've been buying my yarn at the LYS but mostly at JoAnn Fabrics and Michael's. Just looked at Knit Picks today. Wow!!! What a difference in prices! I'm amazed.
