"You typically cannot carry yarn when you are sewing panels together or using the intarsia method to create designs in projects, carrying the yarn up will make the seams too bulky and can alter the look of the blanket entirely while making it almost impossible to put the panels together properly. I typically suggest to my students that they darn as they go, even if they don't do all the darning doing at least some of it makes the task a little less daunting."

"Do you still have the original scarf? I am assuming that when you say "look knitted on both sides" you mean the V looking stitch. There is no way to get that with just knitting back and forth, but there are a few different ways to achieve that look. You can knit a rib scarf, K1 P1 on the right side and then P1 K1 on the wrong side it will look knitted on both sides until you stretch it apart. Another option is the way my mom always made scarves that was to make a 'tube' by knitting in the round. There is also 'Double Knitting' that makes things double thick but achieves the V stitch on both sides. But here is my last thought, can it possibly be that your Mom actually crocheted the scarf using what I know as the Waistcoat stitch? This particular stitch looks like the knitted V on both sides when it's done correctly and I have some items done with this technique from my Great Aunt that she had learned from her Great Aunt so I know that stitch has definitely been around for more than 100 years. I hope this helps."

"I made a dozen of these in different colors as bridal party favors for my daughter's wedding. By using lobster-claw clasps at the ends, I attached two cords to each bag - short for a wristlet and long for a crossbody. They were a big hit"

"Sorry, can't agree with anything you've stated here. The knitting needle size used will be dependent upon obtaining gauge, not what area of the world you live in. The short row shaping is definitely part of the pattern and is not divisible by anything, each row in short row shaping is typically different, that is the point of it, you will not have to add anything to it at all, if the pattern is followed specifically line by line, all will be well."

"I think this should be done on a US 6 needle, not 8. 8 maybe in Europe. And it would have been helpful if you had said that row 23 was not part of the pattern. That really threw me off for a while. The pattern for the short rows is in multiples of 8. Add 8 to each row, knit or pearl. Makes a lovely shawl."

"I’m having fun making modifications to the original "Better Dorm Boots" Slippers pattern. This one I call “Deluxe” because they are super warm and comfy - they take a wee bit more time because of the fold over cuff but are so worth it. These slippers have a nice fitted look and don't slip off your heels! I made the blue ones in one color but you could change it up and make the cuff and sole a different color than the foot area."

These are really cute boots and I would love to try them, but the pattern is confusing me because it isnt clear as to whether we use straight needles, circular needles, or double pointed needles. Some of the sections say to turn and some of them dont. They are seemed together, so I am assuming straight needles would be ok. Clarification would be very helpful.

The pattern is knit on TWO straight needles. When it says turn, it means exactley that. Turn and leave the rest of the row of stitches without knitting them.This helps with the shaping. Hope this helps.-)

The slippers are knit flat, so straight or circulars can be used. The turn instructions are necessary for the shaping, it is a common knitting technique known as short row shaping, you will work are some of the stitches of the row back and forth until all of the stitches are later incorporated back into the pattern, after the shaping is complete.
