This week's thoughts: Misplaced Simplicity

Blog of the week: She Knits She Rants - Shelley

A stitch to share - Hiding your short row wraps: On the knit side, work to just before the wrapped stitch, insert right needle from the front, under the wrap from the bottom up, then into the wrapped stitch, under the wrap. On the purl side, do the same, but insert the right needle from the back. Smooth short rows.

What's on the needles: Simply Lovely Lace Socks by Karen Baumer, Interweave Knits, Spring 2006
