This episode of Knitting Daily looks at stitch definition and tips and tricks for knitters and crocheters. We begin with a tutorial on some unique cast-on methods for knitting: the tubular and provisional cast-ons. Then, Kristin Omdahl joins crochet designer Robyn Chachula for crocheted jewelry, and how to make these designs stiff enough to wear. Then, on today's yarn spotlight Clara Parkes takes a look at cotton yarns. What's the difference between mercerized and non-mercerized cottons, and how well does a particular cotton yarn hold stitch definition for your projects? Finally, we end today's episode with a unique quick tip for cabling without a cable needle.
