"Ridges on slippers are 2 garter stitch rows, the ridges occur when you work all knit stitches, known as garter stitch, every 2 rows creates 1 ridge."

"The only way that your yarn would become connected is if you joined in the round, the scarf is not knit in the round, it is knit flat using a circular needle to accommodate the large number of stitches. Cutting the yarn in the middle of a join is not an option, you will have to tear out what you have done and start over without joining in the round."

"You are measuring from where you started to where you are now."

"Wrap and turn is just one of several techniques to complete short rows, this pattern is using a different technique for short rows."

"If you wrap some florist's wire around the back and back a loop with it you can create a hanger. Use those sticky but removable Command picture hanging hooks to hang it! A useful craft to accommodate any holiday decorating you want to do!"

I love making cowls for gifts and craft shows and this one is adorable. The yarn is yummy, too.

It's way too hot to think about knitting this kind of stuff! My favorite winter wear accessory to knit is probably a scarf.

I only do loom knitting, not knitting with needles, and I enjoy making dishcloths for my daughter.

I love the yarn but am not crazy about the pattern. I have several other patterns that would work up beautifully in this yarn.
