"Leave a comment...Could you amend the pattern to include when the DPNs will be used and instruct me on how to finish the hat using them. Thanks."

"Your stitch count should not change, it should be consistent row to row. For every SSK and K2tog you do there is a yo to compensate for the reduced stitches in the pattern. The pattern repeat is 17 stitches, SSK and K2tog use 6 stitches to complete each set of directions, there are 6 yo's elsewhere in the directions to compensate and bring the stitch count back to the original 214 stitches, if you are losing or gaining stitches look to your yo, that stitch makes it easy to lose or gain stitches, if it is not done correctly or is dropped accidentally. Hope this helps someone, happy knitting."

"All the abbreviations used in this pattern are standard abbreviations, typically a new abbreviations key is not provided unless there is a new or little known abbreviation used. If you google knitting abbreviations, you will get 10's of thousands of results, many of which are in printable chart form, so you can print them out and keep them for future reference."

"This is kind of a trick question. On double stockinette the purl sides of both are on the inside and are therefore hidden. It's the perfect stitch for hiding color change lines!!!!"

"There may have been an issue the day you tried it, but it worked fine for me today. Try again."

Any knitter who spins their own yarn knows there's a definite art to it.  Depending on your tension and how you draft, you'll be able to transform roving into beautiful fiber that's uniquely you.   In Jacy Bogg's debut book, Spin Art: Mastering the Craft of Spinning Textured Yarn, spinners will learn how to take their craft to the next level, all inside the comforts of their own home.

Beginning with the basics - types of fibers, knowing how to twist, how to properly draft - Boggs moves on to show knitters how to infuse all sorts of exciting shapes and twists into their fiber.  Learn how to create eye-catching single and plied spun yarns with tactics including wraps, beehives, bumps, racing stripes, loops, bubblewrap and more.

While this book was intended for those who already know how to spin, if you have an interest in spinning at all, I highly recommend it.   In addition to including detailed technical instruction along with step-by-step photos, this book also includes an instructional DVD.  Thanks to Spin Art, every spinner and spinning enthusiast can step up their game with this quality, instructional publication.
