Well, I never realized that you can expose the pattern colour more or less when knitting with two-colours!
But the picture persuades me and that will be the next thing that I will try out ;-)

Well, I find these potholders great: in a sense you can call them oven gloves with the slit :)
But you can find more potholders here in the blog ;-)

If you want to knit a round shawl one day, you must know how many stitches in which round to increase.
The circular shawl spreadsheet is a great help there!

I presented Peyote background patterns before. If you want to design such patterns yourself, it helps to have a diagram.
Here you can get graph papers not only for Peyote, but also many other stitches :)

Well, do you still have orange peels from yesterday (or rather orange peels rests ;-))?
Then simply wrap your tea pot in them ;-))

I presented emroidered orange peels before and even an oil lamp from orange peels but I find a whole box from orange peels great, too!
I really must give it a try one day ;-)

Sometimes you have fine yarn that you want to work multistranded.
You can simply work from both ends of a skein to double it, if you want to triple it though, you simply must have three skeins – but only, if you don’t know how to triple the yarn very easily ;-))
