Just the other day one of the new Hogwarts students (Olive Bladvak) mentioned a very interesting knitting technique muggles call 'magic loop'. The name rather made me wonder if it wasn't invented by a witch (or even a wizard - I do know some that knit!).

'Ooh, I must tell everybody about this' thought I. Of course, difficult spells are much better learned through demonstration than explanation, so I've enchanted this little tutorial (by 'The Knit Witch') to make it available here. As usual, just let your pet mouse nibble the magical words and it will appear:
