I hope they help people who are math averse learn to feel more comfortable designing. I know lots of people have ideas for what they'd like to do, but they are afraid of figuring out shaping. Thanks.

I'm a new mom and new knitter, and just last week conquered my fear of dpns. This is my first finished project on them, with a cotton/angora hat for the kiddo. It's late, and I just finished, so we'll see how it fits him tomorrow. Thank you again!! Dear Lucia,

I am having an awful time really ,deciding to knit a slip over style knit from top to base because of salvaging the top of front of a "being knitted" norwegian style sweater ,the base of the front which i removed to make a hat and the middle part made a bag leaving the upper part with neck part completed The only solution was to knit the rest as a slip over style garmentin garter stitch from base of what was left of the top of front downwards It has been dreadful -The knitting of the original frontof the sweater did not seem good enough you see. The slip ove r seems worse than the knitting of the whole norwegian style sweater which i have completed Garter stitch might not seem as different upside down as stocking sttch but if there was any spare wool i woud have knitted a garter stitch hat but it might have looked different if it was knitted from base to top so thsat was a worry Anyway i decided to knit the slipoverlonge r to us e up the spare wool and that is an effort in stripey design because there is insufficient of the main colour so i wish i ha d found your website sooner about how to knit a hat from top to base It came up on a search and the search said garter stitch spreads - and those seemed to be the words of a fellow -sufferer .

I made the hat, did my ribbing, and bound off. But it seems to me that binding off at the bottom of the hat doesn't make sense - the bound-off edge is tighter than the ribbing.

Do this stretchy bind off: Knit the first stitch, knit the second stitch and then knit those two together (as if it were a ssk), then keep going knit the 3rd stitch and then knit the two stitches on the right needle together, etc etc until you have finished your bind off.
