First Knitting Memories
Hello, my dears! As a good tradition, I want to wish you a nice day and mood! Yesterday, my younger daughter (she's 12) came to me and asked to show her how to make amigurumi toys. She wanted to make the toy without learning how to make simple things. Ha-ha. She reminded me of myself in childhood, as I also wanted to get a ready-made nice scarf. Do you remember your first experience?

What is Broaching Stitch
There are two meanings of the term "broaching stitch". First Meaning: Adding a Broaching Stitch The first meaning of this term symbolizes a small part of yarn, which is located between two neighboring stitches.
