I found two different methods on the internet, and used them instead. One is using a long colorway that makes different color diamond shapes. The other used a different color on each pass across the scarf or whatever... like diamond stripes.; ▶ Reply to This

I think that is very important in designing and editing a video on socks. For a beginner, just looking at a sock and realizing you will try to knit one is overwhelming. Broken down into it's parts, the whole thing is brought back into perspective.; ▶ Reply to This

The others were great but not really sure about the order to watch them. When I found them they were great. Disappointed with the speed knitting videos. One was called Learn to speed knit but was really tips and I would have love to have seen the speed knitting interview from over their shoulder so we could have benefited. So that's what I would like to see - details of how to speed knit and also the steeking sleeves video. Thanks. Nigel; ▶ Reply to This

Could someone please do a tutorial on one of these? I think I-cord edges on scarves might be the most useful as they seem like the most basic. Thanks so much!; ▶ Reply to This

Just thought it might be a nice idea for someone who doesn't leave their home or just want to make something at their own leisure.
