Since I talked about knitting so much this week, I thought it would be good to add a new technique to the mix.  I haven’t tried this yet, but I plan to sometime next month.  Again, maybe.

When I started knitting again last year, it was as if I was doing for the first time.  Literally.  I mean, I could barely wrap my head around it the first time, and then I had the nerve to stop for a year.  Can you imagine the trouble I had trying to get that piece of string around those two sticks?  And, to top it off, I wasn’t that great when I stopped the first time!

Well, while trying to learn a technique I found in one of my pattern books, I came across the Knitting Help website.  From the word go, this became my go-to website.  It features lots of videos that show you various techniques and fixes.  Need to learn how to increase?  It’s there.  How about a way to pick up a dropped stitch ten rows back?  Yup, it’s there.  They even have videos showing you the basics, which may come in handy if you stop knitting for a year and then decide to give it another try.

This site also has a photo gallery for you to post your creations and a lively forum that discusses more than just knitting.  Admittedly, I have only done a drive-by with the forum, but it seems to be popular and has new discussion threads popping up daily (or maybe even hourly).

So, check it out and see if you can find the answer to your knitting conundrum.
