how to knit a mitered square

Originally, circular knitting was done using a set of four or five double-pointed knitting needles. Here's how I care for the things I have been knitting.

Egyptian artifacts and art have led many historians to credit the creation of knitting as a way to design clothing to the Egyptians. When it's time to move on to a more difficult stitch, try out the party wrap pattern. If it's not one thing, it's the other; and every-day life can be tough.

One of the earliest known examples of knitting was finely decorated cotton socks found in Egypt in the end of the first millennium AD. You can knit blankets for the elderly in cold climates, "comfort dolls" to comfort children with AIDS in Africa, or hats and scarves for the homeless. I learned a lot from a great book I discovered a while back.

These five stitches, I believe, form the very foundation of knitting. When knitting, some knitters enclose their balls in jars to keep them clean and untangled with other yarns; the free yarn passes through a small hole in the jar-lid.
