Didn't you know I could knit?

My dog is great and leaves my yarn and knitting alone (even if the ball falls on the floor.) The cat in this picture isn't as good at learning boundaries...

Beautiful. I'd like to invite the Twilight Taggers over to decorate my house.

Long Tail Cast On

The cast-on method I use the most frequently is the long tail cast on. I suppose everyone's favorite cast on depends on the one that they learned first, and I learned this one when I was 10 years old. This video may come in handy if you are trying to teach someone how to knit, or start knitting yourself.

Knitted Red Blood Cells

"Knitted Red Blood Cells" is the title of this photo, but it looks like there are more than just red blood cells here...

Knit Vases

I recently discovered these "knit vases" from Crate and Barrel. Too bad they are no longer available for sale.

KnitPicks Blog

I recently started following the KnitPicks blog, and I have to say it is a fantastic resource. I started following to find out about sales and contests, but I've realized that they share a lot of information that isn't just promotion of their yarns. They share amazing videos and good ideas for inspiration of projects. You should check it out!
