Technique Swapping: Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't // Casual Friday 4-46

Experimentation with various techniques gives knitters a greater understanding of why and how techniques can be interchangeable in some cases, but not in others.In this week's Casual Friday podcast, I show you two projects where the knitter might want to substitute the technique called for by using an alternate technique. In one case, a short row technique substitution is not desirable. In another, using a sock toe as a peasant heel works, but needs some modifications, in order to get the desired fit.
