In this episode we share our "Yarniacs Tech Tips" segment. In the past, we've sprinkled tips, tricks, and helpful hints throughout the podcast, but going forward, we will try to bunch them together as an occasional segment. This should make things easier to find!

This episode we discuss how to remember make one left and make one right; Sharlene's technique to "close the gap" on circular bind-offs; and using stitch markers to assist when casting on a large number of stitches.

  1. I had that bump until I had
    a crochet pattern that required this technique and the light came on! The tops of both knit and crochet have the same "tops"I have used this on sleeves and socks for years now. Easy peasy.

    1. Just put in "crochet cast off" in uTube if the link won't work. It really is genius!
