	Misc. Knitting Notes
	Just because I'm a reenactor doesn't mean I have to stick strictly with period knitting :). I'm having lots of fun with modern yarns this year, knitting Christmas presents for my nephews, sibs and friends (and friends' kids). Did you see a yarn that looked fun but which you passed up because "it's not period"? Go back and buy the darned thing! Who says all your knitting has to be period-correct? Here are a few of the things I've been knitting:
	Online Knitting Resources: Dishcloth Boutique -- a great way to teach knitting or learn new stitch techniques! Knitting Graph Paper at BrownFox.com Knitting tips and tricks at Maggie's Rags KnittingHelp.com -- great video clips! Especially helpful for casting on, drawings for which can be confusing even in the best of knitting books. Knitlist tips page Knitting with Handspun Yarns -- has tips on calculating yardage Fiber & Yarn Conversion Chart Norwegian Purl Size & Fit Chart for Women Stitchguide.com Civil War Knitting Patterns: World War I Knitting Patterns: American Red Cross Knits -- knitting patterns from World Wars I and II. Ok, so this is reenacting-related, just not 18th century World War II Knitting Patterns: World War II Knitting Patterns Books on Knitting: Folk Socks by Nancy Bush-- not a book on period knitting, but can help with reconstructing period knitting techniques
