In the second segment we talked about when to stop knitting . . .   WHY YOU SHOULD NOT KNIT (OR STOP KNITTING)  

• You don't love it 
• You're not willing to make an investment  
• You can't knit, physically
• You can't knit, for other reasons 

WHY YOU SHOULD TAKE A BREAK FROM KNITTING   There may be times in your life where you don't feel the urge to knit, and that's okay.  Take a break, step back and regroup.  We find this happens in these types of situations.  

• You've just finished knitting a big project, and you're mentally and physically drained
• You've got a crisis in your life
• You've had a forced exile from knitting
• You've got something wonderful going on in your life that you need to focus on

In the second segment we talked about our knitting with charts . . .

 
How to Read a Chart

• For flat knitting, usually odd numbered rows are read right to left and even numbered rows are either omitted from the chart because they're all purls, or are read left to right.
• For knitting in the round, read all rows right to left
• Don't assume!  Look at the pattern for any special instructions (remember Kate's cabled slippers?).

  Keeping Track with a Chart

• Pattern Tamers
• Highlighter tape
• Highlighters
• The old-fashioned way - pencils! 
• Magnet boards
