Accordingly, I've axed the previous post with its false promises about socks and garment shaping. Regardless of whatever was stated earlier, this blog simply hasn't progressed as far as garment shaping: not socks, not sweaters, not yet. Instead, for the foreseeable future, TECHknitting will be taking up the old torch again and concentrating on the TECHnique of making knitted fabric.
Specifically, we'll start tomorrow with a post concerning provisional cast on--what to do about the fact that when you take out the provisional cast on, you'll have 1 less stitch heading "down" than you had heading "up."
Until tomorrow--
