Magic Loop
need at least a 40" cable
co # of stitches needed (lets say 60) - fold cable in 1/2 with needles held together. Split the stitches 30 onto each needle. MAKE SURE STITCHES ARE NOT TWISTED!!!
And that yarn tail is in the back.
Pull out back needle, enough to make a loop when using that needle to knit with - you will also have a loop on the other side of stitches.  Looking like a hourglass or figure 8 without the crossover.

Question comes from Monique (moemoe on Ravelry) and moemoeknits on Twitter

"Can you talk about designing your own charts for color work? Where can I find information?"

I suggest using graph paper or excel.  Can print out graph paper for knitting that is a box per stitch or box per 2,3,4 etc. stitches depending on what you decide. See www.theknittingsite.com & www.needlepointers.com

Here is a great tutorial from Marnie Maclean on charting!

Oh Knit Dr

Our ? comes from Sarah (lilyshoppp on Ravelry). She wrote in on the Oh Knit Dr thread in our Ravelry group!
"I’ve got one. It’s a question about splitting a hank of yarn in half by the weight by grams (more precise than ounces) or by yardage. I’m talking handspun, or any yarn. I recently spun yarn, separated it by grams, then knit my two socks. Sock #1 has a cuff maybe 5 inches (which is long for me, but hey, it’s handspun! I want to use it!). Sock #2 has a cuff of maybe 2 inches. What a difference! I don’t care enough to under part of the first to add to the second and re-do the cuffs, but I wonder if both ways are equally prone to error big enough to make a difference?"

Also a ? about spinning from Sarah!
"I’ve got another too! Are you a spin doctor too? The question refers to STATIC!! I’m drum carding alpaca/silk and wool, blending the two, and there’s SO MUCH STATIC. Is there something I can do or do I just need to deal with it? :)"
