Knitting Help by Subject

This page should make it easier to find my favorite YouTube videos for the many different knitting topics I use. There are many other videos out there on each of these subject; if my choice does not do it for you, as the old card game says, "Go Fish!"


Magic Loop for Circular Knitting

I totally lifted this list from ClaireAlthea's Profile on Ravelry. She gives permission for use on her page and I did send her a message to let her know with a link to where she would find my blog post. This information was just to good to pass up, and I don't have the time to go to each one right now. I do, however, see many links that I have used and also recommend. At some point I will find time to check them out and add some of my own as well. Thank you, ClaireAlthea, for thinking of all of us with your insightful reference collection!
