Knitting Techniques

Knitting techniques.....  (for those times when we really get stuck....)

I've learned a lot from mum and, surprisingly enough, from You Tube.  It has some great instructional videos.  Check out ImagiKnit on my links (right side of the page).  I think they're the best I've come across.  Anyway, in case you get caught in a condrum and don't know how to slip that stitch, or pick that other stitch up, or even how to urll, try the videos below.
