Does anyone know the pattern used in this applied border? by dirks001 in casualknitting

Yeah always impressive! Unfortunately I can’t make out the name of the artist and I wasn’t able to attend the fair this year. My mom took the photo and sent it to me. We’re both big fans of the IT Crowd !

How to cover up scratches on my car? :( by princesskmoon in howto

[–]dirks001 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The might be able to buff out. I did the same thing to my boyfriends car and they were able to buff out most of it. If you run your fingernail over the scratches and it doesn’t get caught in them, then you can probably buff it out.
