If you want to subtract stitches, you can knit two stitches together. As for crochet, adding stitches is easy. Make two stitches into the same stitch. Decreases are a bit tricky. You almost complete a stitch, leave a loop on the hook, and then start a new stitch. Then you finish them together. Kind of like making a cluster.Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-5227078906898396762022-02-22T18:35:10.967-08:002022-02-22T18:35:10.967-08:00That's a good idea.

But yes I learned as a teen when I took up knitting that you needed to be sure and get enough yarn when you started. I did my first afghan this month by asking my neighborhood if they had scraps to get rid of. My neighbor had a bunch but I still had to purchase. I found that Dollar Tree has small skeins for a buck. I really don't get that much out of one but it is helping me to do my afghans for many colors. I only thought I was going to do the one but I have been enjoying working on my second one now. I went to Wally World yesterday to buy bigger skeins, wow...the price has gone up since I have bought yarn....maybe ten years now. But I will make use of what I got and what I have left. I never learned anything more than knit and pearl. No dropping stitches or adding. Same with my crocheting, just straight stitching.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10211965720334593365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-76796342115576641322022-02-22T06:01:26.690-08:002022-02-22T06:01:26.690-08:00Better to be lucky than good, hubby always says th...Better to be lucky than good, hubby always says that. Well done, you can not see the difference in any of the pictures. The first couple it looks sorta pea green in color, but then it looks like a darker not quite olive in color. Very pretty, nice cables. She'll love the scarf. The trick I had heard is to think as if you were going to make swatches of 2 different colors...20 or 30 rows in, switch. At that point you can see if they match, and if they don't, you've developed a planed pattern of two close tones of the same color fading in and out as you knit with the 2 skeins.Sandyhttps://4ccccs.blogspot.com/2022/02/knitting-baby-blanket-and-scarf-world.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-85524844960705987762022-02-22T03:43:35.512-08:002022-02-22T03:43:35.512-08:00That's a cool way to use different lots and ha...That's a cool way to use different lots and have it not show.

I also worked way back in the late 70's until my first was born in '81 in the fabric/yarn department of Liberty House. I don't know if they had those down there, it was a department store.
