Technique Tuesday...

Being so sick last week, I hardly got anything done, and that includes knitting.  Not knitting really bums me out, I try to knit at least a little everyday as it always gives me a sense of accomplishment.  I also have some great yarn that I've been really wanting to use and have just wanted to cast on; two skeins of Berroco Vintage Chunky, it is super soft and lightweight for being a chunky yarn.  I am a very indecisive person and this case is no different, I've been trying to decide for months on what I should knit with this yarn.  I've finally decided that I am going to use today's technique and make an infinity scarf... I think ;)  So here it is, today's technique brought to you by New Stitch a Day (I better dig in before I change my mind).  I apologize, the video would not upload, but if you click on the link below it will take you right to it.
