JOGLESS COLOR CHANGE
> Tips, Tricks, & Tutorials | May 26, 2023 | Copenhagen, Denmark

@bloo.knits has shared such a helpful video on changing your yarn color while knitting in the round and making it practically invisible!

MAKE ONE INCREASE REFRESHER
> Tips, Tricks, & Tutorials | May 23, 2023 | Ontario, Canada

Lanre of La'Knits Apparel has shared a short video showing how to knit the Make One Left (M1L) and Make One Right (M1R) increases. These increases are used a lot in knitting, especially for knitting up tops like sweaters and summer tees (like the Leesi Tee that Lanre is working on), so it's great to have a quick video like this to reference when these stitches are called for in your pattern. Thanks for sharing, Lanre!
