Proactive Lifelines
No need to be afraid of complicated stitch patterns! Proactive lifelines make it easy to rip back a few rows and recover your stitches if you make a mistake, even in lace knitting.
The stitch used in my knitted sample is called “Pucker Cable” and is from the book Lace & Eyelets, edited by Erika Knight, from Interweave Press.
The yarn I used in my sample is KPC Glencoul DK.
The needles I used in my sample are Knitter’s Pride Zing from an interchangeable set.
Attaching Faux Fur PomPoms to Hats
In this video, I demonstrate how I attach faux fur pompoms so that they are secure, yet removable when I wash the hat.

The details of my Branta hat are on my Ravelry page.
The faux fur pompoms I use are the 4″ size from this Etsy shop.
The button I use is from here on Amazon.

Norwegian Purling
Norwegian purling is a way to keep the working yarn in back while you’re purling Continental (holding the working yarn in your left hand).
Early on in the video, I say “working yarn in your right hand” – I misspoke. You’ll see in the video that Continental knitters hold the working yarn in their left. 🙂
The yarn I use for demonstration is Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Bulky.
The needles I’m using are Knitter’s Pride Bamboo Double Pointed Needles. (No real need to use DPNs for this technique, I’m just using them here because they’re short and they work well on camera.)
My nail polish is by Julep, color “Channon”.
Weaving Ends as You Go
In this video I demonstrate a technique for weaving in ends as you knit along, especially effective when working stripes. This method leaves the front of the work unchanged, no double- or triple-thick stitches.
The yarn I use for demonstration is Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Bulky.
The needles I’m using are Knitter’s Pride Bamboo Double Pointed Needles. (No real need to use DPNs for this technique, I’m just using them here because they’re short and they work well on camera.)

Alternating Hand Dyed Yarns
When you’re using hand dyed yarns, it’s a good idea to have two balls of yarn going at once to avoid color pooling. In this video I demonstrate how I keep the work neat while alternating two balls of yarn.
