THREE'S NOT A CROWD...in knitting, that is

Greets and Tweets to everyone!

How 'bout a 3 needle bind off refresher? Why 3 needle?, you ask...
The 3 needle bind off is simple and a great technique to know for seaming two edges together ( like when you're knitting a sweater and need to join the sleeve to shoulder)...not so great for socks as there will be a slight ridge on the inside.

In a nutshell - here's what you're gonna do...
Separate and Hold your edge stitches on 2 needles (with right sides together which makes an invisible seam) Take your not so odd man out 3rd needle and knit together a stitch from the front needle with one from the back.
knit both live stitches onto 3rd needle
pull through
andhere it is on the 3rd needle
You will repeat knitting a stitch from that front needle with one from the back needle one more time with feeling!

Next, slip the first stitch over the second.

Repeat knitting a front and back pair of stitches together, then bind off.

Whew - sounds complicated yet simple all at once!

Here's your seam on the wrong side

it will be invisible on the public or right side. yay! hooray!

This is Marg keepin' it real, keepin' it smooth...you do the same. ;)

HAVE LUNCH WITH ME TUES (5TH)!

TOMORROW IS A HUGE DAY for me and

Knit 1 for the Road.

I'm thrilled to be interviewed by Judyth Piazza (JP) founder of The Student Operated Press (the SOP) and host of The American Perspective. Judyth Piazza's AP on WTTB 1490am News Talk

The interview will be this Tuesday Aug 5th at noon (est). Can't make it? No problem, the interviews are archived for your listening pleasure.
You will enjoy the insightful interviews and be inspired by the story of Judyth Piazza and the SOP so please stop by and learn all about this dynamic entrepaneur with a big heart.

The SOP is definitely on the cutting edge and a premier source for news (Google uses them as a source for news, ya'll!!!) The site averages approximately 300,000 page views per month and is quickly growing in popularity. This is a one of a kind news org that gives students around the world an opportunity of a lifetime due to Judyth's commitment and boundless energy.

READ THIS! from the SOP website:

"The SOP was recently awarded a grant from the University of Central Florida. The SOP will act as a liaison between UCF students and "worldwide dissemination of information." UCF students involved in radio, television, journalism and communications will be able to develop projects under the supervision and guidance of UCF, the WGKN, the Student Operated Press and Newsblaze Broadcast Network related to "Information Fluency and the Making of an American President."

I hope you enjoy this amazing site, bookmark it, and use it as your main source for news. You can also sponsor a student with your
