In 1978, the American Art Clay Company (AMACO) purchased the Brent pottery wheel company from Mr. Brent and took over manufacturing. Brent pottery wheels are often cited as “the world’s most popular wheel.” Soldner pottery wheels have a patented type of foot pedal that is highly sensitive to pressure and very smooth in its operation. This controller costs about three times as much as an SCR controller (the ones most often used), which contributes to the higher cost of the Soldner wheels....

This year, the game’s big players are Narendra Modi of the Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP), Rahul Gandhi of Congress and Arvind Kejariwal of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). These elections are unique because this time social media is playing a significant (if not crucial) role....

The good news is that most of the abbreviations used in the knitting world do make sense once you know what they mean. One example of a commonly used abbreviation in knitting is psso, which stands for pass slipped stitch over. It’s usually seen with some other information like “sl 1, k2tog, psso.” In English, that means slip one stitch, knit the next two stitches together, then pass the slipped stitch over the stitch you just made by knitting two together....

Traditionally, Log Cabin quilt blocks are designed with a light half and a dark half, with the division running along each block’s diagonal. The differences in color value make it a cinch to create an endless number of layouts by turning blocks around when you use a design wall or other flat surface to preview a quilt.
