One of my favorite things to do when I am knitting gifts is to personalize the items. I love putting in the recipient's initials or a secret message in a sweater hem or a hat brim:) Another wonderful way to personalize your knitting is with SHADOW KNITTING!  Scarves with a "secret" message (the message is only seen when the item is angled a certain way) like a child's name or a school or team name, or a special image like an alien or a heart can be knitted right into the design! Learn this fun and simple technique with Jessica Armstrong TWO TIMES this OCTOBER.
