Some good tips for finishing cuff-down socks
I've just had my first ever moth scare. I knit a wool hat and left it in my closet for several months and recently discovered it was moth eaten. Luckily most of my yarn is stored in a different room (sealed in vacuum bags), but I wasn't sure how long ago I moved several of the skeins out of that closet. I examined them all and didn't see any signs of moth infestation, but I baked most of the wool ones at 55C in my 3d printer enclosure just in case.

Norman's comprehensive video on common methods for joining new yarn in knitting
Joining new yarn is part of knitting that I am still not very good at.

Once thought of as only something a grandmother could love, doilies are experiencing a renaissance.
Some good info on the long-tail cast on, including why it is better to use the tail-end to create the half-hitches
It turns out yarnsub.com has a newsletter where they publish some rather useful articles!
I missed this project back in 2018, people training a NN to write knitting patterns. Would be curious to reproduce this with a better model today.
