About 3 weeks ago -- give or take a week here or there -- I finished this pretty little item replete with a crochet edge, a super long tail, and a Q button. Perhaps I was overly attached to this soft and cheery item, but I couldn't quite bring myself to give it away until the...
Toenails should be rounded on one side and flat on the other. The flat side is the tip of the toe, and the round side is the “cuticle”. The last round makes a nice finished edge. To maintain this while sewing it on, thread the yarn just “below” the front and back loop of th...

I should have known, I should have given up when it took me three tries to get the bottom edge of the sweater to work. Not me, nope, I thought I had “fixed” it with a little ribbing to hold it in place. It was moving along really fast. I was trying it on as I was moving...
Commonly, stitch and row repeats are indicated by heavy lines (or boxes) in the chart. This is similar to the use of brackets in text knitting instructions. So you would work the edge stitches one time, then work the ‘repeat’ stitches as many times as possible (always reading the set...
