    Thank you for the video on Isela’s garter stitch tip. I am doing her aran throw and was wondering if I could use this shortcut for the center panel which is a garter stitch panel.

    OMG! I just got! The ‘ole’ brain has started working!(LOL) How easy! I can’t believe I’m doing two rows at a time! Thanks Isela!

    I just viewed the tutorial for the decrease bind off. IT WAS GREAT!! I’ve been making slipper for family for Christmas and haven’t been happy with the results – this will make a HUGE difference. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

    I love your stitch markers how did you make them or did you buy them if so where? I tried the jewerly rings for necklaces but they won’t fit over the pegs even the toggel rings.

    Thanks
    Marcella

    Hi Bethany and Happy New Year! You have such a delightful website and blog.

    I just purchased your pattern for, Girl Gauntlets, and have a question. At the beginning of the instructions you say to use the “Fine Gauge” method cast on. I’m not familiar with that term or method. Is there a place I can look it up to learn it? Thank you for your help. NO Hurry! Enjoy these Holidays with your family.

    Hi Bethany,

    I am new to looming and I trying to loom your mittens. I am having a problem with the fingertip shaping rows. The k1, e-wrap1 instructions. Could you please help me with this. Hope to hear from you soon.

    Thanks
    Have a nice day!

    Hello,

    I am a beginner kniffty knitter and I’m trying to do the cable mug hug, I know I’m ambitious. When it says Rows 1 & 2: slip turning peg, k1 p1 k4 p1 k2. what does it mean to ‘slip turning peg’?

    Deanna

  12. 12 gettinitpegged February 8, 2009 at 9:39 am

    Hi, Deanna!

    It’s excellent that you’re being so ambitious! You’ll love the mughugs…they’re so cozy. :)

    Okay…to slip a peg means to just not knit it. So you will just skip the first peg in each row, and begin knitting with the 2nd peg. This give your edges a nice braided look when complete. :) It’s that easy!

    I’d love to see a pic when you’re done…we could post it on the Clique Pics page! ;D

    Oh how I love your site as well at the patterns and tut’s!!! I just finished my first Scrubby!!! LOVE IT!! I am going to make a ton of them and use them as stocking stuffers for the family!!! One thing I think I might do different on the next on is cutting the end tail really long so that I might do an I-cord for hanging purposes, ie the shower. Other than that it was an easy project to do even with 4 kids 3 and younger running wild in the house!!!! Thanks for being so talented so that the rest of us may learn from your experience!! Can’t wait to try the many other patterns!!!

    I LOVE the scrubbie-O’s & had made several including making them smaller & larger. After a couple of weeks I tried to do it again, after I made the first one I realized I made a mistake but I really liked the result….when I went back to watch the tutorial I figured it out: you knit over first then pearl, I pearled first then knit over, the result was that there is now a really neat edge – the loops that you refer to counting in the middle to verify the number of wedges is now on the outer edge making it look so much neater – though it doesn’t change the rest of the scrubbie-O at all!

    Keep up the good work I LOVE your web-site – I’m going to try the beading next. I never would have thought of that in a million years – but I also LOVE making I-cords. :o )

    crw: I’m super glad you’ve enjoyed making the Scrubby-O’s…they’re such a wonderfully fun and simple project to whip up in a flash…kind of addicting, too, lol! That’s a very interesting discovery you made with the chained edging…I’ll have to give that a whirl the next time I make one. Thanks so much for sharing that! :)

    Have fun with the loomy jewels…another addicting little hobby, lol! ;)
