Knitting: Tutorial

Learn how to use a simple border to turn a simple garter square into a fancy schmancy lacy dishcloth, or apply to a larger sized piece to create a placemat, a washcloth, a small towel, or a shawlette as desired.

The throw knits up quickly in heavy worsted yarn to create a comfortable, cozy small blanket to cuddle up with a cup of tea and a book.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
Fingerless, lightweight gloves featuring a lace cuff, a stretchy hand section, a classic thumb gusset and dainty lace edge.

Fits babies of different sizes easily as it only buttons at the top and flares open. Easy enough for intermediate-beginner to tackle, but with enough elements to keep more advan...
