It's the beginning of a new year. Time to really dig into our knitting and learn some new skills. This month, Deborah Gardner (TKGA Master Hand Knitter) will be teaching us some provisional cast on techniques. This cast on allows one to go back to their cast on row, pick up those stitches, and knit in the opposite direction. This technique can be used for seamless edges, hems and casings, top-down sweaters, and much much more.
