ReplyDeleteThanks 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 :)

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!
