I finished watching the second season DVDs of Knitting Daily -- alas, I've had to buy them since none of the local PBS stations shows them in my area. One of the best things was a demonstration of the Estonian cast-on technique. I tried it and love it -- both for its elasticity -- important for socks and hats worked on the round) and its decorative edge.
Imagine my delight when I discovered it was excerpted on YouTube
Now I can just refer folks to the video rather than try to explain in emails!
As for progress on projects, I completed the knitting on all four baby booties for Tara's twins -- just need to do the ties (beyond boring!) and I finally completed my crocheted shawl/lap rug for the Trinity Knitting group.

Mary, I can imagine your delight when you found Estonian Cast on could be excerpted from You Tuble!!
I did click it on and liked it very much. Will try it on my next project with a ribbing.
Thanks Janice
