This video shows how different increases look side-by-side, and talks about how to substitute one for the other. A bit more complicated than substituting decreases, some increases "use up" a stitch, while others do not.

The "sister" video comparing decreases can be found here: https://youtu.be/mtRBUpvUNuk

Slow demonstrations of the increases shown: Yarn-Over: https://youtu.be/3QbFhh8u4L8 KFB (knit front back): https://youtu.be/tmOymzswPZA Make 1 (M1): https://youtu.be/IlPQBhZ31B4

Sometimes patterns, especially older patterns, will tell you to decrease without specifying which decrease to use. Or you may be working a pattern where you think a different decrease will work better than the one the pattern calls for. In this video, the author compares three popular decreases side-by-side so you can see the differences.

Six Easy Clay earrings ideas using homemade airdry clay. Would be fine using other types of clay too. Pretty good design ideas; serving as designs or as inspiration for new designs.

Various suggestions for things to decorate with acrylic skins. Also a demonstration of making pendants with bezels, cabochons and E-6000 glue. The interesting thing here is that the videoer considers it sufficient to just glue the cabochon down (rather than gluing the skin down first), because that will hold everything in place underneath it, presumably because the cabochon will glue itself to the bezel sides. Worth a try.

Pattern by Elsie Chokov. A mock-cable pattern made by doing 3x3 ribbing, and then cinching that by passing a slipped stitch over some of the stitches (like one was doing Bamboo Stitch).

Worked in rows, using two Tunisian hooks. The hooks do not need to be the same size, but your gauge will be determined by the larger hook, and the smaller hook should be large enough to work comfortably with your chosen yarn. Choose any weight yarn you like, and hooks of a size appropriate to your yarn weight. This method comes from a YouTube video made for the Australian Handknitters and Spinners Group on Facebook, and have adapted the method in this pattern. You can find the original video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_9EPn67mGg

An intriguing technique using two Tunisian Crochet hooks to make a textured fabric which is the same on both sides. It isn't knitting, it isn't crochet, it isn't Tunisian Crochet either. What it looks like is both casting on and casting off at the same time; you cast off one hook while casting on to the other hook.

This little basket gets its woven-look texture from a unique tucking technique, which makes the basket sturdy enough to stand up on its own.

For this project, I used 1 skein of Red Heart Super Saver in Grey Heather with my Addi Express Kingsize Knitting Machine. My basket measures 5 1/2" high and 7" in diameter, but you could knit a longer tucked portion for a taller basket. The same technique can also be done on the Addi Express Professional Knitting Machine for a small basket.
