  • Re: Warm winter hat for non-hat person

    It would help to know why she thinks she doesn't look good in hats. In my case it's because I have a long face and a hat without a brim makes me look like a pinhead. My favorite hat (commercially made, alas) has a fat rolled brim, nearly 2" in diameter and filled with foam, and a flat top. I have yet to knit one similar but the idea of

  • Re: Yarn holder for Portuguese knitting

    Never having seen one I'm not sure this will help, but if all you need is a pin that has a loop you thread your yarn through (and if it can be closed loop) then maybe an eyeglass holder pin ? (They even have a knitting one .)

  • Re: Sock Problem

    Two ideas: 1. Pick out the cast on, and maybe one row, then do a stretchy bind off. 2. Assuming you have a sock cuff with relatively narrow ribbing at the top, you can cut one stitch in the row after the ribbing and unravel it, putting the sock on needles. The frog the cut off ribbing and re-knit the ribbing on the sock ending with a stretchy bind off

  • Re: Magic Loop Panic!

    When knitting in the round you should be knitting at the side closest to you with the body of the work hanging away from you. If B is you, > is your needles and O is the body of your work it would look (from above) like B>O. If it looks like BO> you'll get purls on the outside because you are knitting on the inside.

  • Re: cast on over bound off stitches

    You're making the neck opening like a giant buttonhole. You bound off 22 stitches and now you need to cast on 22 over them to make the top half of the buttonhole/neck. Most people use either the knitted cast on or cable cast on for this. You can use the backward loop cast on , but you'll probably find it has a lot of extra yarn and is loose

  • Re: Teaching

    I was just thinking that kids aren't going to be enthusiastic about the practical little projects that people suggest for new knitters, like dish cloths. The kitten pattern I linked is just as simple as a dish cloth but results in a toy. Likewise this bunny pattern is a rectangle, very simple to knit, and ends up being a cute toy. The cat has some

    Let's say, for example, you are making the smallest size. With waste yarn cast on 47 sts with the backward loop method. With your working yarn, k1, (yo, k1) to the end of the row. That gives you 47 knits and 46 yo, which total the 93 sts the pattern calls for. The next row you k1, (sl1wif, k1) to the end, which is a double knitting method and knits
