We all have questions about …how to do this…and…how to do that….
As we find links to answer our questions, they will go here :
- We’ve had some discussions about spinning buffalo. Here is a link that describes the process from shearing to spinning in a very unique manner. It’s from a journal called Girl from Auntie.
- Heel Tutorial for Toe Up Socks -a video tutorial on a very simple method of turning a heel for toe up socks.
Our guild has been discussing socks at almost every meeting, and had the Queen Kahuna method demo’d. Here is another voice in the many different methods to make socks on circular needles.
The video above takes you step by step through the entire process. She calls here methods: lifestyles because you fit to your needs instead of reading a specific pattern. She gives great guidelines, and there are no picking up stitches, holes or ridges in the heel.
For those who like other tutorials and links and free patterns, Knitting Daily is a site you must sign up to get into. You can log in and read the blog as often as you want, or you can sign up for the articles and tutorials to be emailed to you. There are some great tutorials on darts and sizing, etc.
The KnitPicks community link has some really great tutorials for those of use who are still learning about knitting. Here you can find how to do basic stitches, cable, reading patterns, etc. This is an excellent resource, but is hard to find if you just go on to the http://www.knitpicks.com home page.

The daunting Kitchener stitch also know as grafting. Interweave has a great video to demonstrate this.
