Fiber Beat Video Supplement #3, The Magic Loop from WonderMike on Vimeo.

There's a million crafters in Fiber City and we've all got a yarn to spin.

Welcome new listeners and viewers to our next Video Supplement to Fiber Beat, Number 4. This episode we feature the unvention of Sarah Hauschka, The Magic Loop. This knitting technique allows one to work circularly on any size project whose circumference measurement is smaller than that of the total needle length.

The bonuses are that you only use one long circular needle and you eliminate those pesky ladders that can form when using double pointed needles (DPNs).

The following items were mentioned and referenced in the Video Supplement:

• The Magic Loop by Sarah Hauschka and Bev Galeskas.

Don't forget about the Fiber Beat CONTEST for Episode No. 4
