knitting
I needed a simple, stockinette-based edging for a chair arm cover I wanted for my knitting chair (which naturally gets an awful lot of wear...). I didn't want to mess with knitting on an edging, or with the fussy crocheting-off that so many edging patterns use. I just wanted to knit it and bind it off.

Father + Son Knit Ties
When it comes to gifts for my dad and brothers, I often find myself stumped. Thanks to Page's Rolled Hem Handkercheifs , their pockets are chock-full of squares; and thanks to years of knitting, their heads and feet are warmed by piles of hats and socks. In need of a new go-to gift, the Father Son Knit Ties were born! Now, my dad and brothers aren't fancy men, but they are gentlemen of the southern variety.
See it Knit – Lettuce (#37) « malabrigo yarn
Lettuce shown in Rasta Lettuce is a colour created early in the history of Malabrigo. It came to exist in a stroke of inspiration, while Antonio was playing with the dyes.Tutorial: Using ratios to calculate yardage « Yarnberry
Posted by yarnberry on May 21, 2007 Sometimes I’m working on a project, and I want to figure out how many yards of yarn I’ve used to create it. I have to frog the project and measure it, or measure how many yards are left in the skein, right? There’s a much easier way: calculate how many yards I’ve used in the project, using the a kitchen scale and the yarn label.

Baby Booties Without Seams (bottom up)
A pattern by YarnThrower This pattern was inspired by Ruth's "Perfect" Baby Booties , though my construction method is quite different, eliminating the seam found along the back and center bottom of many baby bootie patterns. (After searching online **unsuccessfully** for a "seamless" baby bootie pattern, I decided to figure one out on my own...) This particular pattern begins at the bottom of the bootie and works up toward the cuff. I have also published another version, which is Baby Booties Without Seams (top down) .
The Dudester
My friend, Bob, just opened his own Edward Jones investment office. He always looks ultra professional and put together, so I wanted to knit him a guy scarf that would be formal enough to wear with his overcoat and suits but transition to weekend wear, too. I made it extra wide so it can be worn flat or kinda scrunched up and tucked inside his coat as he said he will wear it. The scarf is knit in a hurdle stitch with garter ribs which is reversible, easy to memorize and makes an interesting texture that doesn't curl.knit pearl

"After a while she remembered that she still held the pieces of mushroom in her hands, and she set to work very carefully, nibbling first at one and then at the other, and growing sometimes taller and sometimes shorter, until she had succeeded in bringing herself down to her usual height." - Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. There are as many ways to increase and decrease in knitting as there are ways to shear the proverbial sheep.
