Edges & Hems

Edges & Hems

by Sandy Lightfoot

TK002 $7.50. 9pgs. 17 patterns, 4 of which require a ribber. Many of the patterns have added variegations. For the standard gauge, but you can adjust rows and stitches for the bulky or mid-gauge. Notes on what each trim or edging can be used for, some have lace or ribbons added to them. This is really a great technique book. #9 is my favorite. Another must have technique book for your knitting library. http://www.sandylightfoot.com 250-423-7176

Keyhole Scarf for the Kiss and all in one looms

Keyhole Scarf for the Kiss and all in one looms

By Kathryn Doubrley.

PDF $2.99. 11 pages. Instant download at http://www.theanswerlady.com. I love these key holes scarves, they can’t blow off even in heavy winds or when you try to pick something up off the ground, and they lay flat on your chest or neck. So neat. This pattern is sized for big kids to XL adults. Learn some new techniques, 3 ways to do tuck ribbing, and she has a you tube video to help you learn at youtube.com at theanswerladyknits. The pattern used worsted weight yarn. Has clear easy to follow directions with lots of color pictures. Look for more patterns on her website.
