Free Knitting Pattern Crafty Tip
Free Project -
Making a scarf from scrap yarn.
Materials: Water soluble stabilizer, lots of scrap yarns, ribbons, thread.
Cut water soluble stabilizer in strips as wide and long as you want your scarf. Lay one strip down and layer with pieces of yarn, ribbon, etc. Make it fairly thick and completely cover the stabilizer. Lay second piece of stabilizer on top and pin together.
Sew a grid over the entire stabilizer, vertical and horizontal about an inch apart. Using a sewing machine is recommended.
When finished, rinse in cool water until stabilizer is gone. Add fringe if desired....You have a scarf that cost very little and will get many compliments.

A knitting blog that is more like a master class on technique.
Editor's Note: I came across this site on my own and although I'm not a knitter, this site has some of the best illustrations I've seen anywhere. The author of this knitting blog mentions that she had started writing two different knitting books but opted for the blog format as it was a much more interactive medium - how lucky for knitters. This site is definitely a must see.
Knitting Crafty Tip
When knitting garments with multiple colors, remember that the multi-colored areas are going to be a bit heavier than the single color areas and this may cause the garment to drape differently.

A blog centering around a college student's exploration of fiber arts: knitting, spinning, dyeing yarn and roving, and maybe some crochet now and then.
Yarn Dying Crafty Tip
When experimenting with dyeing yarn, remember that complimentary colors (those on opposite sides of the color wheel) look nice together, but if they mix, they turn into brown.

Crafty Tip
For making drop stitch, instead of doing it in the traditional way:
Row 1: Knit.
Row 2: Knit each stitch, wrapping the yarn around the needle twice instead of once when completing the stitch
Row 3: Knit each stitch, dropping the extra wrap off the needle as you complete each stitch.
Repeat these three rows for pattern.
I use a needle some sizes bigger for the second round: If I'm knitting with size 10 needles, I use a 15 for that round and get the same result.
So simple and easy.
