Scissors and Knits!

Image
Do you take your scissors to your hand knitting?  It's called STEEKING , and yes, it seems scary, but it doesn't have to be! It's 2019, and with this new year along with my regular knit updates, product reviews and acquisition videos....I'm planning on doing a series of steek technique videos! My "go to" technique is the first up.....it's simple, clean and probably the most organic way to steek! There's a bonus at the end of how I pick up my stitches. Happy 2019 Everyone! Anne x ....It's really cold here and we've got a lot of fresh snow....so Lackie, Daisy and I are having a snow day, watching videos, drinking tea and knitting (of course).  I hope you are all safe and warm and enjoying your day too!
