NEW FREE VIDEO-PICOT EDGE BLANKET


The new FREE VIDEO where I explain how I made a Bamboo Stitch Baby Blanket with Picot Edge is now on the web-site. Here's the link.

I think the Bamboo Stitch and the Picot edge go perfectly with each other. Use a soft yarn for this cuddly blanket. I used Softball Cotton, my favorite yarn, and love how it came out.
If the link doesn't work, go to Videos then down to the bottom of the Patterns and Techniques page.

PICK UP STITCHES ON AN EDGE FREE VIDEO


There's a new FREE VIDEO on the Web-site that demonstrates how to PICK UP STITCHES ON AN EDGE. This is something you need to know for many different projects. I get a lot of e-mails telling me that the edges are rolling on a scarf. You can pick up the edges and do a few rows of garter stitch to rectify that. And, you will need to do this technique when making a gusset. You might want to pick up stitches to add a sleeve instead of sewing it in later. I could go on and on. Watch this video to see how simple it is.
