So I've never done a picspam of more than one thing before. And I've wanted to do this forever. So the most recent challenge at picspammy was perfect for this challenge and finally gave me the motivation to do it.

The challenge was: "Something Different. We've noticed that a lot of people picspam the same things again and again for each challenge so we thought it would be good to bring in a little more variety to the community. This is not the kind of challenge to mold to fit your top fandom/actor/etc. For this challenge, you will be asked to picspam something you've never picspammed before."

This is totally not dial-up friendly.

As it starts to get colder I feel the need to start Christmas gifts. My dad always wants an "stylin' lid" every year with a fold up brim, and I've finally got the perfect pattern down so I thought I'd share.

this community is finished. i'm leaving it up for now but yeah, it's time to stop. thanks, everyone. ♥

Sorry for anyone getting this duplicate times, cuz yes, I posted it in a few of my communities.

Does anyone happen to have a pattern for any Bon Jovi symbols? Seriously, any of them. I would love to knit up some cool Jovi stuff be it the heart & dagger, smirk, or anything else. I would love you forever if you could share with me, or point me in the correct direction. I have tried googling it and even checking my favorite knitting sites with no luck.

Thanks!

For the longest time since I started knitting I wanted to make a blanket for someone, but was afraid that I would get bored of it, you know? Well, I put that aside and decided to make my great grandmother a shawl/wrap/lap blanket thingamajig for her birthday.

I used size 15 needles and 2 skeins of Inca Organic . The pattern was a simple k1 p2 with 100 stitches. The final dimensions are a bit wonky, 47in by 30in but it made my great grandmother happy and warm, so that's all that matters.

Hi all

I posted on Ravelry earlier about my messy edging, and how it's mainly due to the slip knot I use when casting on becoming loose when i'm knitting into it, despite all my best efforts. Someone suggested I use Meg Swansen's little twist n go method instead of the slip knot. I've googled and looked on youtube but can't find any guidance on how to do this. I've asked the commenter for a brief description on how it's done, and i'm sure she will get back to me but i'm itching to get going with my latest project (a baby jumper). So can anyone here tell me how it's done, or point me in the direction of a tutorial?

Thanks in advance :)
