I agree that Knitting Daily isn't very interesting lately. The problem of course is the new editor. I noticed that she said she has not been knitting very long. Great. Are we supposed to learn along with her?

Where is the reversible cable video?

Hi folks!

A couple of answers for you:

The bear bunting is a Sirdar pattern leaflet.

When I've serged color projects I just run the serger up the sides of the pieces. The serger cuts off the ends and locks in the edges. You have to be careful about your tension so you don't get the wavy edge and you need to go slow so you get as straight a line as possible so it's easy to sew the pieces together. I serge each piece individually and then piece them together by hand.

Have a great day!

Kathleen

Like another commenter, I also have a hard time reading the blog with the new editor and all the "I" words. It just sounds so self centered somehow. Sigh...

Excellent. Very informative. I've knit cables, but she covers points I hadn't seen.

Thank you so much! I had no idea knitting cables could be so easy! I thought it was too complicated so I never tried. Now I know I can do it.

I found this video to be very helpful. I wish I could see the next part of it that is mentioned.

The pattern for the cabled raglan baby sweater is very old and essentially generic, in the public domain. My grandmother, who was born in 1905, knitted one nearly identical to this for my oldest child ( who is now 30) when he was born. This sweater has now been handed down, through the generations, to my own grandchild, born in 2008.

Trying to warm up to new editor. Can't get by the I's as if all about her. There are 18 I's in the daily today. Write to the universal you in knitters and this might appear to be about the knitting community.

How many "Cuddlies" have I knit? Sitting outside while my granddaughter plays I was knitting "Cuddlies" . So many kids adored them so knitting away I went. Now my granddaughter wants another cat. Such fun! I am now knitting a cat for a little girl in my church. These are so easy to knit and a great size for children to carry around with them. Thanks so much Knitting Daily for such fun.

I can't say how much more enjoyable I find KD now that you're the editor. Thank you!

Also, I can't believe I didn't think of using my serger on my hand knits before, what a brilliant idea. I'd offer you the use of mine, but it's here with me in Australia!

would like to know how to add a different color yarn in the middle of a project without having a hole appear when adding a new color of yarn.
