Cambridge Jacket

16 March 2008, Sunday 12:50 A GMT-08
Almost a year ago, I knit up this sweater for my guy, but only recently did I finally manage to take a picture of him in it.

Entrelac Cast-on

14 March 2008, Friday 10:58 P GMT-08
When I starting making the first of several Garterlac Dishcloths, I came up with a method of casting on which works really well for entrelac. It's a crochet cast-on worked directly onto the knitting needle with an extra chain between each stitch.

Adjusting for Row Gauge

11 March 2008, Tuesday 4:14 P GMT-08
As I was knitting the body of the Cambridge Jacket, I noticed that although my stitch gauge matched the pattern, my row gauge was larger. After a little calculating, I realized that my sleeves would end up too long if I didn't make adjustments.

Pretty Edges

7 March 2008, Friday 2:04 A GMT-08
Last year I started knitting a Ballband Dishcloth and quickly discovered that the edges come out a little funky. After much experimentation, I came up with a method to neaten them up.
