The Dudester My friend, Bob, just opened his own Edward Jones investment office. He always looks ultra professional and put together, so I wanted to knit him a guy scarf that would be formal enough to wear with his overcoat and suits but transition to weekend wear, too. I made it extra wide so it can be worn flat or kinda scrunched up and tucked inside his coat as he said he will wear it.

(After searching online **unsuccessfully** for a "seamless" baby bootie pattern, I decided to figure one out on my own...) This particular pattern begins at the bottom of the bootie and works up toward the cuff. I have also published another version, which is Baby Booties Without Seams (top down).
Tutorial: Using ratios to calculate yardage « Yarnberry Posted by yarnberry on May 21, 2007 Sometimes I’m working on a project, and I want to figure out how many yards of yarn I’ve used to create it.

Father + Son Knit Ties When it comes to gifts for my dad and brothers, I often find myself stumped.

In need of a new go-to gift, the Father Son Knit Ties were born! Now, my dad and brothers aren't fancy men, but they are gentlemen of the southern variety.
