	NEW! Shoe size to foot length charts and measuring "foot" for socks. And a "giant foot", part of the Crazy Toes & Heels" sock book, that shows you how to measure your or your sock receipants foot. You then use your gauge of stitches per inch for the circumferance, or rows per inch for the length. The different measuremets are for different sock heel types such as short row heels, toe up non-heel flap heels, and either directions, toe-up or top down short row heels or peasant or replaceable heels.
	How to Kitchener Stitch graft off, the toes of your cuff down socks... and has other uses for grafting together stitches in knitting garments. Does just the thought of the "Kitchener stitch" scare you? Can't remember if you are supposed to leave the stitch on or take it off the needle? Try the easiest way to remember the kitchener stitch ever.... just four words to recite for the process.
	*EASY! "Aloha" toe-up sock* CAST-ON... Tired of struggling with the figure eight cast-on, and is it keeping you from making toe-up socks? Then try the "Queen Kahuna" "Aloha" toe-up cast-on! It is fast and easy**. And if you want to learn to cast on any knitting using the "long tail" cast-on, you can learn it here also just by casting onto one needle instead of the two illustrated... clear and "visual".
	Cuff down open tubes on two circular needles confusing you? How should the stitches sit on the needles? You may have started socks on DPN's and want to transfer the stitches to two circular needles, or are confused as to where the yarn strands should be when ready to knit the next round on open tubes on two circs. These illustrations from the "cast-onto two circular needles for cuff-down socks", from the "Crazy Toes & Heels" sock book, will show you the correct positions of the yarn and stitches.
	Just for fun... mini socks on toothpicks... I wanted to play around with mini socks but had no needles small enough at the time (000) so I tried knitting with toothpicks! Much to my surprize, they turned out really cute.
