I am now able to record the television show Knitty Gritty which airs on the
DIY network. (The Do It Yourself Network). The featured technique on this show was modular knitting which in my opinion is for intermediate/advanced knitters. It took me a good part of the afternoon to master it. It definitely helps to use a row counter. Unfortunately the book
Modular Knits by Iris Schreiver is not available at the library.
To get the instructions for these coasters go to the
Do it Yourself Network.
If you are ready for a challenge give modular knitting a try. It involves using short rows, slipping stitches and doing
SSK (slip, slip, knit)

coasters to view the completed coasters. One ball of Sugar and Cream Cotton yarn will yield 4 coasters.
