I never seem to find the pattern I want, but this is an easy basic way to make a hat/beanie. I dont use circular needles so this is for 2 needles. 1. choose your yarn and needles and knit a swatch 2. measure the circumference of the head you are knitting for (!!) 3. now for some math: Check your swatch:  if, for example, 10sts make up 5 inches , and the head is 20 inches , then use basic math to find out how may stitches you need: use this method: stitches on the swatch, (in this case 10 ) multiplied by inches of the head (in this case 20 ) divided by the number of inches on the swatch (in this case 5 ) so 10 x 20  = 200 / 5 + 40 stitches SO 4. cast on 40 sts. and knit about 2/3 inches in rib. Change to desired stitch 5. measure from under the ear to about the middle of the head. 6. Knit till that length. 7. Start the decrease this way: 8. k 8, k 2 tog till end 9. All back rows knit as presented 10: k7, k 2 tog 11: as presented 12: k 6, k 2 tog and so on till you have

Rae of Light Photos I'm 29 years old,and live in Joplin, MO. My work pays homage to subjects and life left unseen or forgotten. They demonstrate the passage of time and the beauty of unaltered minimalism. What started as a way to slow down and take pleasure in nature, swiftly turned into a perpetual zeal to capture the unobserved spirit of daily life. While examining these pieces my aspiration is that individuals take a moment to look at the details and observe the charm and enchantment our world has to offer. My images are a blend of archival digital photography and film. I have been pursuing the creation art through film for three years and am self-taught. I am also the owner of the cutest Bassett hound out there. His name is Ralphie and he's still getting over the click of the camera.  www.etsy.com/shop/raeolight blog:  www.raeoflightphotos.blogspot. com facebook:  www.facebook.com/ raeoflightphoto +++++++++++++++++++++ Pink Pups Designs My name is Pam, sh

Wonderful tutorials and so much information! Its Called Pretty Modern  and the owner has kindly agreed to let me link to her blog. Check this out!!!! The best zippered purse tutorial i have come across, thanks to Amanda! Go check out her work!!! Fully lined zippered box pouch - pattern and tutorial I love the look of a zippered box pouch...so incredibly cute.  I found many tutorials on the internet, but was disappointed after making pouches following these tutorials to find that they were not fully lined; looks so much nicer when you open your pouch and there are no seams.  It took me a long time to figure it out and I thought and thought and thought...then I got it♥  I don't want to keep this knowledge to myself, so here it is.  I'd like to thank Jane at  Projects by Jane (the only other tutorial like this that I was able to find on the internet - wish I'd found it sooner).  Her photos may help you out too if mine fail to communicate properly.  If you like what you
