Answer:

hi, saw program BBC were they burnt household rubbish and collected the methane from the fumesThen reheated the methane to produce a alcohol based fuel for use in enginesThey then converted a car engine to run on the bio fuel and found that they achieved better results per litre My idea is the remaining ash that is left could be utilised in using thermolite bricksThat is using the ash and glue into making these bricks to be used in the building of housesLike they already use coal dust and glue to make bricks for the inside walls of houses.
I think recycling makes sense because its better to recycle then to polluteRecycling also gives you a sense of achievementIt feels good to help the earth we live onIt is also a hobby for some.
Washing is what it sounds likeBe sure to follow any temperature instructions, and use the right kind of detergent (especially if your yarn is colored with a dye that can run) and do it by machine only if the yarn indicates you can safely machine wash itBlocking is the name for a process that re-shapes the finished knittingWhen you block, three things are involved, but not always in the same order: wetting/steaming, stretching/shaping, drying/time Blocking after washing: 1Wash the piece, allow all water to drain out without stretching - squeeze in a ball or a net or roll it up in a thick towel or clean bathmatGet it dry enough that it won't soak whatever is under it but the yarn is still wet2Put it out flat on something that can take pins (non-rusting pins!!) like a bed, foam pads, etc3Stretch it out in the shape you want, and stick pins in the edges, pulling out the center pattern so it displays wellPlan the pins for where you want to see sharp points, otherwise, space pins evenly along the edges and pin into the shape desired4Let it air dry without picking it up If it doesn't dry while blocked it won't keep the shapeRe-washing it in the future can take out the shaping, especially in modern, washable yarnsSome knitting will even pucker up againBut in a lot of projects, once you have stretched the design and washed and blocked it, it remains open foreverBlocking with steam: Same as above, but instead of washing, you use only dampness applied onto the finished piece and a clothes ironIt's indicated for certain delicate fibers and cobweb designsNot what you're doing thoughP.S- I love knitting that pattern!! When you wash it, the places where you wrapped (YO) three times will really open up
