I want to thank you for your advice for the wool yarn. Sadly to say I was not able to get either since the yarn shop closest to me did not have any. (plus it is about an hour away. That is one trip I will never forget.) I did find some yarn that won't felt if hand washed and unlike anything I knit for my brother, he would throw it into the washer in a heart beat, I can do it without complaining. Not only that I have some adive I learned form the shops owner about knitting. If there is some one else like me who had been miss guided to knit into the back of your work in a manor to become quicker. DON'T DO IT! It will twist your stitches and make your 1x1,2x2, and stocknet stitch pattern look on uniformed and sloppy. If you catch some one knitting through the back for the love of knitting stop them. They will thank you later. Thanks again Ms. Knitty. Your the best.

Hi! I really hope you can help me! I'm very new to knitting and I purchased a book (Maran Illustrated Knitting & Crocheting) that explained pretty well (at least to me) on how to get started.
After I got the basic knit and purl thing down, I moved on to try some of the designs. I kinda understand how the abbreviations work so far, but I've come across a few beginner's patterns that say things like
"Cast on a multiple of 10 stitches (10, 20, 30, etc.), plus 6 stitches."
I understand everything except the "plus 6 stitches" bit. Does it just mean 16, 26, 36, etc.? (and if they did, I wish they would have just said so! haha.) I kinda figured that if it is the case that you just cast it on, say, 16 or so, they probably worded it that way just in case people can't count properly sweatdrop
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much for your time!

Thank you so much for your time! Ahh... this took me a while to figure out myself. I used to wonder the same thing. It's for when you're making something with multiple repeats of the pattern. Say you're making something and want 5 pattern repeats across. You'd cast on 10 x 5 = 50 stitches, plus the six... so 56. If you only wanted 4 across, you'd cast on 10 x 4 = 40 plus 6, so 46. If you wanted 100 across, you'd cast on 10 x 100 = 1000 plus the 6, so 1006. *grin* Does that clear it up for you a bit? If you need more examples, feel free to ask!

I have a question. I have a couple of cool pics of my finished cross-stich projects but I don't know how to put them on a post. Is the only way to go through photobucket?

ShyBFly I have a question. I have a couple of cool pics of my finished cross-stich projects but I don't know how to put them on a post. Is the only way to go through photobucket? This is more for knitting questions, but I'll tell you what I know. Find a host for your photos like photobucket. Upload the photos there. To link them, click the IMG button right up top when you're making a post. Put the URL of the hosted picture in the pop-up and it'll do all the work for you. I'm not really sure how photobucket works since I host my photos on my own domain.

I'm trying to make a pattern from a picture, but I don't know how to go about it. I'm trying to get a grid over the image, does anyone have any advice on how to do so?

If you're talking about making an intarsia chart to knit from, this is the place to go. http://www.microrevolt.org/knitPro/
