    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.

    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

    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

    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
    Bethany~
