Techniques with Theresa - Fall 2008 - what's with gauge

“To save time, take time to check gauge.” “Check your gauge before starting.” “IF YOU DON’T CHECK GAUGE, HAIR WILL GROW OUT OF YOUR EARS AND YOUR KNITTING WILL SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST!!”
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Hand-knitted socks are a glorious thing.

http://techknitting.blogspot.com/2007/07/back-to-back-join.html The back join (subject of a previous post ) is a method for working in the tails AS YOU GO in multi-color knitting. The back join is NOT confusing, but judging from the e-mails in the TECHknitting in-box, the first post about it WAS confusing. It would be a pity to obscure such a useful technique with badly-written instructions, so here's another run at it--with an additional illustration showing the back join as it is being knitted.

Joining - Techniques with Theresa : Knitty Spring+Summer 2010

http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEss10/FEATss10TT.php The best join is a join that is as invisible as possible.

"Knit" stitch is the best method for shoulder seams. For joining seams use a blunt darning needle so as not to split the yarn when sewing.

Standards & Guidelines for Crochet & Knitting

The publishers, fiber, needle and hook manufacturers and yarn members of the Craft Yarn Council have worked together to set up a series of guidelines and symbols to bring uniformity to yarn, needle and hook labeling and to patterns, whether they appear in books, magazines, leaflets or on yarn labels. http://www.yarnstandards.com/childsize.html
These patterns are sized for the average adult foot, male or female , and will fit a very wide range of feet. Later in the patterns, you will be instructed to measure the length of the intended foot. http://www.cometosilver.com/socks/

Boing boing - history of guerrilla knitting

Rose White's 24th Chaos Communication Congress presentation "The history of guerrilla knitting" is an incredibly fascinating tour through the history of proprietary versus open knitting; mad, subversive knitting projects; knowledge-sharing and knitting, and so on. There're plenty of delightful slides and lots of juicy background about the way that knitting broke free of proprietary, secretive guilds, only to be locked down again by greed-heads, whence it is now being liberated by knit-hackers. "Guerrilla knitting" has a couple of meanings in the knitting community - to some, it merely means knitting in public, while to others, it means creating public art by knitted means.
