For those of you just joining the party, every Tuesday I post an article about tips, tricks or techniques that will make your knitting just a little better … or go faster … or just something new to try. This Tuesday, I’m going to give you a quick over-view of some of my technique posts that I’ve already done so that you have a “one-stop shop” for finding these posts later … ok?

• New to knitting? Here is a quick overview of how to knit, purl, bind off and generally start on the road to fiber fanaticism; this post includes a link to a free design for you to practice your new skills
• Beautiful edges – a super simple technique
• Yarn needs — how best to estimate what you have and what you need and what you want
• What tools and accessories to carry in those uber cute/practical knitting bags
• How best to join-in a new bit of yarn
• Options for storage – one of the few times I’ll talk about sewing (!)
• Blocking for Beauty — and to make your work just a tad more professional
• Putting zippers into knitting (including a couple of my designs that use zippers)
• How to read a pattern, understand what to do, and make your knitting go faster
• Cables: all about cable patterns AND charting your own cables to personalize a hand-knit
• Putting holes in your knitting on purpose – basic knitted lace tricks
• Geometry: shapes and math for designing your own shawls
• Math again – understanding stitch multiples
• Add some bling — knitting with beads is fun and addictive

Please don’t hesitate to let me know in the comments if there are any knitterly questions you might have … or just don’t understand a technique … or just are a tad worried about jumping in without a helping hand. That’s what I’m here for!
