I must be pretty lazy, because I HATE flipping over my knitting to do the purl side when I’m knitting flat! I’ve always wanted to learn to knit backwards so I can just keep the knit side facing me! Here’s a great tutorial on knitty.com that goes over how to do just that – includes instructions for those who knit continental AND english style!

OK – this isn’t the BEST tutorial in the world – there’s a lot of handstitching involved, but for a knitter, this would be a quick, cute knit and a fun way to use up little bits of yarn from other projects! I plan on making some little bags like these (probably not knitted, though) for some of my gifts. They are a super-useful size and I use the ones left over from class samples ALL the time! The tutorial can be found here.

Find the tutorial at the blog go make something.

Stuff ‘em with wool! Here’s my sad, sad pair… They look like they are in slightly better condition in the photo than in...

Greetings, weekend parrots! I missed the blog boat yesterday, as I had a sick basset on my hands (she’s fine, but now hates me for ramming antibiotics down her throat.) I still think we need to wrap up Flop Fixin’ week with a good, old fashioned tips post, though – don’t you agree? Here’s...
