New Videos!

The beginner finishing videos are uploading now. URLs tomorrow, I believe!

I am now doing a series on using the garter bar and have the first few up:

Garter Bar Lesson 4 – Make Garter Stitch
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLBuPekHMLo

A four-step, reasonably quick, routine for making garter stitch where the carriage free passes, then the stopper and needles are arranged, then putting the knitting on the garter bar grooved side up, and finally, the knitting is hung reversed and a row is knitted.

There will be at least five more garter bar videos – it might take more to cover the basics, since YouTube has a 10-minute limit.
