About

I am a crafter and a quilter and a historian. This blog features craft stuff I found online. I post things that appeal to me, that might spark an idea in me, instructional how-tos and images that celebrate the international of of craft.

This is a pictorial representation of Emily Ocker’s Cast On, used to start a piece of circular knitting (like a tablecloth, shawl or dishcloth) in the middle. The magical thing is that after knitting a few rounds, you can pull on the loose yarn end to close the hole in the center - I used it on this doily for example. It’s also excellent for starting toe-up socks! (In fact that’s what I was doing in these photographs.) It’s been described by Elizabeth Zimmerman and I finally managed this thanks to Judy Gibson’s wonderful explanation. (via Bagatell :: Emily Ocker’s Circular Cast On)
