Pattern News, ABC's, and a discount for you!

Periscope

Recently on Periscope, I have been trying to go through a variety of topics that relate to stranded colorwork in some reasonable order. I have decided to use the alphabet as a guide to discussion points. Hey, it worked for Sue Grafton!

Here's what I've come up with so far...

A is for Alpaca.
B is for Buttonhole calculations.
C is for using a Crocheted chain to secure steek stitches.

What have I come up with for the rest of the 23 letters? I haven't the foggiest. Join me on Periscope to see if I have thought of something before I hit the "broadcast" button. ;)

Not familiar with Periscope? The best way I can describe it is a live video podcast where the viewers can interact with the presenter...which means you can ask questions while I demonstrate how I hold my needles, or how to use a wooley board, or how to weave in the ends while I knit...and I can answer you right then.

You sign up for a free account on your smart phone and start following me (@vbknits) ...at least I'd love it if you'd join me.

I "scope" most week days and try to keep the conversation to about 20 minutes. Join us. We have a lot of fun!

If you can't watch live, the replay stays around for 24 hours or you can check the blog where I will be posting a link to the latest broadcast.
