Swatch Bangle

Another beautiful idea: if you knit something you often knit a swatch first.
You can collect these swatches and in the course of time get enough for a blanket.
But you can also make a swatch bangle, matching your sweater :))
For that purpose you simply sew the swatch around a ready-made bracelet.
If you don’t have aready-made bracelet you can also make the bracelet yourself from a plastic bottle (see the knitted/crocheted bangles) or from paper (see the bracelet from recycled paper) :)

Colour Blends in Striped Socks

If you use different coloured skeins for socks the change from one colour to the other can look very abrupt also when using colour changing yarns.
She presents here softer colour blends in striped socks by slowly knitting more rounds of the old and less rounds of the new colour.

If necessary you can also use the previously presented jogless stripes knitting :)
