Materials Used in this Tutorial
The silver content in SilverSpun makes it therapeutic and conductive. Silver kills a number of bacteria, including those that cause odor, has excellent thermal properties, is nontoxic and is perfect for those with sensitive skin. Silver is also an excellent conductive agent, thus allowing smartphone or tablet touch screen use while wearing gloves knit from this yarn. The silver is permanently adhered to the yarn and will not wash out. Made in the USA.

I’m finding that it is now taking ages to download the patterns on New Stitch A Day…..it used to be almost simultaneous to clicking on but now……… Not sure if you can suggest why.

Hi,
Is the binding off of the 4 stitches creating the “v” edging and if so, how do we keep going to create our desired length?
Thanks so much,
Terrt
Yes the binding off is creating the tapered tip. This edging is knit sideways, so you’ll add a new “point” each full repeat. The flat edge will be sewn onto your work.
I like the Godmother’s Edging stitch a lot. When you get to the desired length and you bind off it will be straight across. How do you make a similar edging on the bound off edge?
This edge is meant to be knit separately and then sewn on.
love this one
I noticed that you slip the first stitch with yarn in front and then move the yarn to the back. Ordinarily, I would slip with yarn in back when pattern says to slip first stitch. Does this make a difference?
