They say. You learn something every day so here's mine today. I usually increase stitches knitting into one stitch making two. It depends on the pattern if I knit into the stitch or pick up the loop between for me. I also increase at the beginning of the rows by knitting into the first stitch making two stitches.<br />Must go and have a look at the Turkish method <br />MargaretMargarets designer cardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649752567816134409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-34166892519027252432015-04-21T07:38:26.653+01:002015-04-21T07:38:26.653+01:00Have you heard of "Judy's magic cast-on&q...Have you heard of "Judy's magic cast-on"? That is another really good one and it all sorts of uses. There's a whole book about it! Youtube, of course, has some great videos showing how to do it, including one by Judy Becker herself.

Just wrap your thread around both needles half the number of times as required stitches (i.e.. if you need to start with 24 stitches all together, you wrap the yarn around your needles 12 times which will make 12 stitches on each needle when you're done) then you just knit the wraps off one needle, turn around, do the same with the other needle and that's it. Neat and tidy. Easy to do. :-)Frivolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318670621310820581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-55199907690823750962015-04-20T17:48:28.556+01:002015-04-20T17:48:28.556+01:00Wow, your post has so many new tips and techniques...Wow, your post has so many new tips and techniques that need checking out, especially with the evidence right there in the form of your perfect WIP sock !!!<br />Thanks for sharing :-)muskaanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13125166115615109271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-31425041718551932072015-04-20T16:11:59.663+01:002015-04-20T16:11:59.663+01:00It is amazing to be able to learn so many new tech...It is amazing to be able to learn so many new techniques.
