We are adding this space for some knitting trivia.  We know that we can always learn something new and sometimes we forget the little things can really enhance our knitting.  So,  we are going to give you a TIP every month that we have found that has been of help to us.  We also welcome input from those of you reading this.  We will try to keep it short and sweet so we can just add every month while leaving the old tips still on the page.  So here goes,,,,

The tip for the month of February 2012 is...  Life lines and markers are your friends.  When working a pattern place markers between the pattern repeats and a life line every so many rows up.  This way you can always count your stitches between the markers to make sure your pattern is correct.  And the life line will act as a brake in your knitting when you have to RIP BACK.
