BEEN TRAVELLING


Haven't posted any new videos or been able to answer any e-mails for a few weeks due to the fact that I've been on the road visiting in-laws, kids, grand kids and friends all across the country. I've finally settled in one place where I'll be long enough to do some posting so look for a new video in the next few days and also e-mails for all your questions.
By the way, I get many requests for pictures of me so here I am, my face instead of just my hands. The photo was taken on the grounds of Tanglewood, the summer home of the Boston Symphony, in Lenox, Ma. on a beautiful sunny day.

THE STOCKINETTE STITCH - FREE VIDEO


There is a new free VIDEO on the web-site. It's a simple demonstration of how to do the stockinette stitch. The stockinette stitch is the most widely used stitch in knitting. It is simply to knit one row and purl the next. Those 2 rows make up the pattern. It's used for everything. Just remember that it does curl up at the bottom and on the sides so if you're making a scarf and you don't want it to curl use another stitch. There's no way around it.
Happy knitting!

PICOT HEM - FREE VIDEO


A new free video is on the web-site. It's a demonstration of how to make a PICOT HEM on your knitting. It's way easier than you would think so look at the video and give it a try. Remember that the thinner the yarn the less bulky the hem will be.
Happy knitting!
