How to make the Reversible celtic baby bigger so it can be adult size.
Please see the "Turning my Reversible Celtic Patterns Baby Blanket into a king-size blanket" link on this page.
Thanks so much for the youtube video about grafting using knitting needles....I never could manage using a bodkin, so frustrating! Now my socks are nicely grafted, thanks to you :)
Do you know how to graft ribbing using knitting needles too? If so, please share...
thanks again

Hi! I am getting started on your gorgeous Minerva shawl. I cannot find an explanation anywhere on how to end a row with a yo and successfully begin the next row. Could you please provide an explanation? Thank you!
Hi Dennise, I responded at https://wipinsanity.blogspot.com/p/pattern-minerva-shawl.html where you left the other comment.
Hi Kathleen, I'm working on the Arguyle sweater and loving it! I've come to the point where I need to knit the first saddle. I was going to use the crochet provisional cast-on, since you can just zip the cast on stitches off when it's time to knit the neckband, but I notice that I'm supposed to knit a row in the waste yarn before joining the main yarn and knitting from there. I've never seen that instruction before. What is the purpose, and doesn't it make the waste yarn harder to remove?
