OK, so not TV…but YouTube!
I decided to make these short videos to help out with the “Seam as you go” technique used in the Tamarix Quilt. I rigged up my phone with a makeshift wearable tripod, and got to work. (Those iPhone bumpers really are good for something!)
Note about Part 2: I realized after I finally got a good recording for part 2 (these things require many takes), that I did it wrong. OK, not wrong, just that I tell you to pick up the held stitch before turning. In the magazine, I say to pick it up after turning (which is easier). Both ways produce the same result.
Let me know what you think. Also, feel free to join the KAL on Ravelry ~ Hope to see you there!

Is your yarn worsted weight? Do you think the project would work with sportweight?
The pattern calls for worsted, but you could make it in any weight, it would just change the final size. The finished piece was 36″ x 36″, pretty big for a baby, but excellent for a lap blanket.
You could also make the squares larger to compensate for the gauge difference.
I don’t think you would want to use sport with the same size needles, I think it would look too loopy, and the seaming as you go would not be as solid.
LOVE it! Very pleasant voice.
