Knitting School

OK, so I read blogs as irregularly as I post them - but everytime I stumble across absolutely amazing stuff. This time, thanks to avelinux, I finally found out about the Drops Design Channel on YouTube. I know, there are thousands of knitting tutorials already out there, but this one is the perfect one for me. Silent film, focus on the needles, easy on the eye.

Over the years, I've been totally spoilt with
TheKnittingSwede as my personal trainer. Poor thing has patiently let me in on the secrets of magic loop, magic cast on for toe-up socks, the tubular cast on and whatnots, and now I only have to pop into the Drops Channel to jog my memory.

A mystery I have often read about and never quite been able to solve is the Russian Join. Looks easy enough, doesn't it?
