		<title>An Easy Provisional Cast-On</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;
 I just finished a new sock pattern, Hidden Stitch Lace Sock. As I was writing the pattern, I realized that using a Provisional Cast-On might be a problem for some.
It is the Provisional Cast-On and the two rows of Kitchener Rib that allow this sock to scallop so beautifully at the top and, at [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s All About the Button! or &#34;As seen on TV&#34;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;
I received an email from Nancy McFarlane over July 4th weekend asking me if I had seen the sweater Amy Robach was wearing on The Today Show. Nancy had fallen in love with it and suggested that I should design a sweater that was similar.
Nancy&#8217;s thought was that it was the perfect sweater for which [...]]]></description>

		<title>Neck Warmer to Vest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; I really have to thank Lijuan&#8217;s Tango pattern for the inspiration for this vest. As I was knitting the neck warmer/hat, I kept thinking that the small cables would be beautiful in a vest.
I am afraid that I never did finish the neck warmer. It is still sitting in my knitting basket.
I began to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ring of Lace and Lesson Learned</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Ring of Lace is a pattern by Heartstrings. I can&#8217;t describe how beautiful it is and how clever. It is not a Moebius, just a simple circle of lace that is gorgeous.
I combined the pattern with a luxury yarn that suits the design and does not break the bank. The yarn is Cheryl Potter&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flat Feet Fun</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ I am sure that by now, many of you know what a Flat Feet flat is. For those of you who don&#8217;t, I&#8217;ll just go into a brief description. A flat is a knitted rectangle with waste yarn at either end. Two rectangles are joined with more waste yarn. Two flats joined = two [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gauge and Swatch Part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
When I first started knitting over 50 years ago, I don&#8217;t remember my mother or my aunts teaching me about gauge. I do remember going to the yarn store, choosing a pattern, and then the shop owner pointing us to the yarn from which we could choose to knit the garment.
Once we chose the pattern, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Swatch Wizard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few months ago, there was a discussion that at our Yahoo! Group that lasted for several days. I hadn&#8217;t realized how difficult both the concept of gauge and the measuring of a swatch are for many new and intermediate knitters.
While the discussion was taking place, it occurred to me that I might assist by [...]]]></description>

It takes two to Tango, but the two at the left aren&#8217;t limited to one step. Move on to the next picture to see them in a totally different pose.

 In the first, they are neck warmers in the second they are hats.
Lijuan Jing has done it again, with a wonderfully cleaver design.

		<title>Notes on the Swirl Shawl</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Lijuan Jing&#8217;s Swirl Shawl is a geometrical masterpiece and a wonder to knit.
For those of you have decided to make this shawl, I just wanted to add a few notes to Lijuan&#8217;s pattern to make the process of getting started just a little simpler.
Each hexagon is knit in the round from the outer edge [...]]]></description>

		<title>Winter Berries and Beads</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;
 
My Winter Berries bag is almost finished. All the knitting is done. The bag itself is felted, and all the branches are made waiting to be felted and sewn onto the bag.
I wanted to share with you my solution to using pre-beaded yarn for the branches and the berries.
We found that Jojoland solid worsted [...]]]></description>
