I'm taking cat hairs off my laptops keyboard with a piece several pieces of sticky tape.
I have made several pairs of these using leftover yarn. I have yet to make a pair where I cast on 54 stitches. I cast on using the cable cast-on method. I have altered the pattern somewhat. I knit the first row and every uneven row after that. I also knit the first 4 and the last 4 stitches of every row so that when I assemble the slipper, the "cuff" looks like ribbing. I cast on enough stitches so that there are 10-10-1/2 inches of stitches (regardless of the yarn) on the needle. I then adjust the number of stitches cast off based on how many stitches are on the needle (anywhere from 6 and 1 when I had 25 stitches on the needle to 9 and 3 when I had 52 stitches on the needle). I can knit one of these during a 1.5 hour movie, so they are quick to knit. After the decrease to shape the toe, I do a 1x1 or 2x2 rib just for fun.Thanks, CWS. I've been looking for a soft "sock" for my tender feet. I've plenty of yarn, but will have to get some knitting needles.
Again, much thanks!
If you have a crochet hook (doesn't matter the size, except I've never used the teeny-weeny one), what you do is cast on two stitches (left needle) and then you push the crochet hook between the stitches (at the bottom of the needle), loop the loop over the knitting needle, give a little tug on the yarn to tighten the stitch and repeat. I prefer using the crochet hook over the other knitting needle which is the method I think you saw on the 'Net. Basically, what you are doing is chaining with the crochet hook and putting the "chained" stitch on the left knitting needle. Does that make more sense than what you checked out on the 'Net?I had to Google a video of "cable cast-on method". That looks really complicated. I use the "thumb/continental" method. I also knit using the continental method. I have tried the other way, but my fingers just don't want to learn it.

I just finished eating darn near a whole 10" skillet of bubble and squeak
My first attempt wasn't bad, I just need to work on getting the "socarrat" to not stay in the pan It scraped out easily so I sprinkled it on top
Me too!!!! Now I am going to catch up on my sleep.Just finished watching the Canadian men's hockey team receive their gold medals.
Had to look it up: Word of the Day: Socarrat | Food Republic
Learn something new everyday, I'm done with that now.
Groan.I had never heard of it until I made parella last year.
Now I am quite fond of it to use when describing caramelized crust

Yes, you do score points. As PF wrote, it was brilliant.Hey c'mon! I should get points for using them in the same sentence!
