It could be possible to use the 29's, only if you use the "magic loop" method.

FYI, there are such things as 16" circulars...you can usually find them in your smaller local yarn shops.

Does anyone know of a tutorial for a figure 8 cast on?   and what is the purpose of it?

I've seen it for a few sock patterns and was just curious.

Thanks muches!

Im working on this at moment:

I'm bored today and I have some cotton yarn lying around as well as kool aid...will dying "cotton" yarn work with kool aid?....and will it work if I use the microwave method?

Hope this is helpful!

Thanks!  I did it!  Finally, and after 4 months of complete cluelessness!

Now, I'm hooked, more like addicted! Check out how much more colorful my page looks...all I need is to attach my banner.

Yes, those are tassles:-)

All you have to do is cut yarn to desired length and tie them on the ends of your scarf, or whatever it is you want them on.

Sometimes it helps if you use a crochet hook to pull them through.

I recently posted a post in the "who has a knitting blog" but I only recieved one reply.

The question was:

How do you add those pretty bottons on your sidebars?   If you know, would you be kind enough to walk me through it.

I thought I had it down, but all that shows up is the link instead of the picture!

Oh, I know.  But just imagine a rectangle shape with the live sts on top, and the pick up sts on either side...to pick up sts on the left side, I really have to stretch my work way out of shape.
