Here's another video to help those of you making the Long Triangles Blanket - or anyone who wants to finish an afghan with side hems! Diana has great tips for picking up the stitches along the side of a blanket, for marking the stitches to pick up when the hem is closed, for closing the hem, and for doing a fast, good-looking cast off after the hem is picked up.

Diana's patterns, books, videos are available at www.dianaknits.com.

Diana has a blog at diananatters.blogspot.com that has lots of free patterns, inspiration, and lessons.

Machine knitters - consider joining Diana's Facebook group, "Knitting with Diana Sullivan." It's free, and it's a great community of beginner and experienced MKers alike.
