Random Knitting Questions

1. Anyone know of clear directions for a short-row heel? The mystery of the wrap confuses me so.


2. Has anyone made the lacy scarf from the Spring 2006 Interweave? Is it worth it for me to buy that issue (is it even still out?) just to make that one pattern?


3. When the label on Koigu says that it's not machine washable, do they really mean it? Does it actually get felty? Or just fuzzy?
