FIGURE 8 CAST ON

Figure 8 Cast On. Since my Top Down Bonnet uses the elusive figure 8 cast on, I’ve been getting a lot of mail asking about it. It is kind of confusing; I didn’t understand it myself for a long time.It’s like magic, though, and once you get it, you’ll be a very happy little knitter. I’ve taken what I hope are very clear photos and will explain how I do this seamless cast on below.

HOW I THRUM

How I Thrum on February 22, 2007 Thrummed mittens have been around for a couple of hundred years in Northern Newfoundland and Labrador. The term thrums refers to yarn waste from weaving looms. According to Robin Hansen’s Favorite Mittens (many thanks for the book, Jennifer!), these bits could have at one time been knitted into mittens and other articles for added warmth, but JILLIAN MORENO’S SAMPLE ALONG Jillian Moreno’s Sample Along on January 7, 2020 Are you doing it? I am! Week one is for getting to know your fiber. The fiber I’ve chosen is November’s Hello Yarn Fiber Club, “Lanthorn” 85/15 mixed BFL/Tussah silk. NEW PROJECT: NORO KUREYON LOG CABIN BLANKET New Project: Noro Kureyon Log Cabin Blanket on March 9, 2007 We have this super huge ginormous sofa that Mr. HelloYarn, Shambles and I pile into every evening to watch a movie and knit (me) and play on the computer (him). I say “into” because it’s like a bed. This new super gigantic couch demands a bigger blanket than what we are currently using, so I promptly started one. BABY SURPRISE JACKET Baby Surprise Jacket on March 18, 2008 I need a new mindless project, now! The Facts: Pattern: Baby Surprise Jacket from The Opinionated Knitter by Elizabeth Zimmermann Yarn: Hello Yarn Fat Sock in colors Sand and Sea and Sea Salt, 4.5 oz., approx. 290 yards Gauge: 5.25 sts. per inch Size: 17″ around, 16.5″ cuff to cuff.
