Terry Edwards asked:
If you are looking for the perfect gift for that special newborn baby, why not consider a knit baby blanket? Handcrafted gifts have been looked at as a cheap way out for a long time. But in reality, a handcrafted gift, such as a knit baby blanket, costs a lot more in material and time than the mass produced blankets that you find in the store.
Making a baby blanket yourself or having someone knit one for you is the best way to show your love. When you make your own blanket you can customize it any way you want to make it truly special.
If you don’t know how to knit, don’t despair. There are plenty of classes available that will teach you how to knit. You can also purchase books and videos that will give you the basics of knitting. It is probably a good idea to start out with something small at first like a kitchen towel, a placemat or a hat. Once you get the basics down, you can move on to something bigger.
The great thing about making a knit baby blanket is that it can be made in any color to fit the color scheme of the baby’s room. You can mix and match as many colors as you desire and you can incorporate different designs into your knit baby blanket.
If you choose to have someone else knit one for you, make sure that you ask to see examples of their work. Nothing is more disappointing than to pay for a custom handcrafted product, then receiving something that is not made well. Ask around for recommendations.
There is a large variety of yarn to choose from to make your knit baby blanket. There is all natural handspun yarn made from wool. Then there is the synthetic yarns that are machine made. The handspun yarn will probably be a little more expensive, but it will have a much softer feel and possibly be a little warmer. The synthetic yarn can be found in any craft shop for quite a reasonable price.
However you decide to make your knit baby blanket, you can be sure that it will be a unique gift that should be treasured for years to come. Nothing is better that wrapping your little one up in a knitted blanket and snuggling with him on a cold winter night.
If you are crafty at all, try your hand at knitting a baby blanket. You could find it addicting. Knitting has become very popular in recent years. Why not join the crowd and knit a baby blanket?

Ashley Michelle asked:
I’m trying to work a pattern for a scarf that changes colors every two rows, and the beginning of the pattern says, “Because each colour stripe is only two rows the yarn can be carried up the sides without being cut.” I was wondering if you just put the yarn over the needle and continue knitting or is there some way to tie it? can anyone give me some detailed instructions on how to do this, I REALLY want to make this scarf. (Here’s a link to it, if that helps, http://www.ysolda.me.uk/wordpress/index.php/skull-illusion-knit-scarf/ )

I would like to know how to change the colors of yarn when knitting without cutting the other yarn off. This is my first time knitting and I need to knit a row that is a second color. Thank you.
