Silver is also an excellent conductive agent, thus allowing smartphone or tablet touch screen use while wearing gloves knit from this yarn. The silver is permanently adhered to the yarn and will not wash out. Made in the USA.

I love this program I just haven’t taken time to sit down and do a swatch. I will try to be a better supporter. I would hate to loose such a terrific resource offered to knitters.
Hi, what does the panel mean at the beginning of the pattern?
Panels are stitch patterns that do not repeat horizontally. So you can insert it as a detail in something like a sleeve, blanket, or sweater front.
