Knit Just About Anything Without Needles
Literally all you need to do this is some chunky yarn. It doesn't matter if you're a competent knitter already or you've never even thought about it before?this is about as simple as it gets. But the simplicity of getting results in no way detracts from the stuff you can create.
Once you've grasped the technique, you'll be able to knock out a scarf in about the same amount of time it takes to watch the video on YouTube. Check it out above, or hit the link below to read more.

From dodging trolls to harpooning sea monsters, this is the most varied and brilliant horror game ever created.
?BRAHM!? goes the Inception horn in Dead Space 3?s menu screen, almost as an opening warning shot that this latest space horror sequel is going to be total, market-researched nonsense.
That dreaded horn, the sound of commercial-minded people launching derp at their audience at what they assume is their level, represents the kind of safe concessions that this third Dead Space makes with its design ? while still a successful and mostly fun facsimile of the series? 2008 beginnings, the main change to the design comes in focusing more on set piece-heavy combat scenarios, something it proves to be an awkward fit for.
The series has always been a shooter at heart, really, but Dead Space 3 plays the design so safe that it?s an experience almost entirely bereft of surprise, the opposite of why we?d previously seen the franchise as such a draw. The problem is a lack of ideas and a comparatively boring structure to the first two games ? mostly set in entirely generic space-type corridors and later, the equally dull snowy tundra of Tau Volantis, it?s an ammo-pumping slog to the finish rather than the unsettling, environmental-driven horror picture book that we?d previously seen in Dead Space.
Two main additions explain the sea change in design, here: a strong focus on weapons crafting, which requires harvesting resources in an almost Farmville-like tedious rinse-and-repeat way which threatens to destroy Dead Space 3?s sense of drama, and co-op, which is new to the series and proves to be a good fit for the multiplayer-minded of you out there. But the changes made to the formula almost aren?t worth it for either feature ? it?s basically the same thing again and again, at the expense of Dead Space?s identity as a series.
There?s the same combination of cheap scares and gangs of monsters running at you drawn out over many hours, still holding together just because the foundations of its gameplay are so steady.
But there are no visual flourishes that cleverly tell stories about the surrounding setting, no real sense of danger given the generous supplies and no emotional twists for Isaac Clarke that speak to you as a player ? these are the genre-subverting strokes we used to associate with Dead Space, and it seems that they?ve been jettisoned in favour of two more marketable ideas. The story barely makes an effort, too, with protagonist Isaac Clarke now a tedious errand boy, and a main villain who ? honestly ? looks like Elton John in a ski jacket.
While the weapons customisation is definitely entertaining to tinker with, it?s blatantly too demanding, requiring that you send out droids to mine resources every 20 minutes or so, and even then it only gets you a fraction of the way towards purchasing that ludicrous elemental cannon you like the look of. Combining weapons to create new ones offers sometimes thrilling results, as long as you engage with the off-putting deluge of boring menu screens.
You?ll have to play through the story several times to get the very best armoury ? or, quite cynically, get your hand in your real-life pocket to multiply what you earn with microtransactions. Acceptable practice on a free app, maybe, but absolutely out of the question for a ?40 game.
Still, circumnavigate that nonsense and you?ll still find a robust space adventure to be had in Dead Space 3. Those Event Horizon-style shots of distant stars behind floating starship debris speak of a richly realised industrial sci-fi visual style, one that is often able to trump many of the sources it borrows from. Dead Space 3 plays to the crowd, despite being occasionally as thematically fascinating as the previous two games, and coming packaged with a co-op mode that is rarely less than good fun.
The main, series-killing fear is that Dead Space no longer has anything new to say.

Paterno analysis leaves Sen. Jake Corman angry about NCAA sanctions
"Honest, it makes me angry." Sen. Jake Corman
Louis Freeh can stand behind his report on Penn State?s handling of the Jerry Sandusky child sex crimes all he wants. But Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Jake Corman is convinced that ?report is flawed.?
He said the Paterno family-commissioned critique of the Freeh report confirmed what he thought all along and should cause the NCAA to take a look at the sanctions it has imposed in its consent decree against Penn State that were based on that report's findings. Those sanctions include a four-year ban on postseason play, reduction of scholarships and vacating of wins between 1998 and 2011.
Penn State President Rodney Erickson and the board should take a good hard look at it too and rethink decisions they made based on that report, he said.
?The consent decree and punishment have a negative impact on my community,? Corman said. ?The thought now that it is based on a flawed report as determined by somebody with the impeccable reputation of a Dick Thornburgh makes me angry. Honest, it makes me angry.?
Corman currently has a lawsuit pending against the NCAA in trying to keep the $60 million fine it imposed against Penn State from going to out-of-state organizations that prevent child abuse. His lawsuit followed one filed by Gov. Tom Corbett to block the sanctions.
Corman said he had read Thornburgh?s analysis and part of the one done by former FBI profiler Jim Clemente. He was impressed how each laid out in precise ways why the Freeh report failed to back up its conclusions.
?It?s hard to argue with it,? Corman said. ?It?s not a matter of opinion. They go through it, fact by fact, and point out where the Freeh report is incorrect in its conclusions.?
Whether the Legislature needs to hold hearings to review some of the critique?s findings, he?s not sure but wouldn?t rule it out.
Two Democratic lawmakers said earlier today called for a thorough investigation, one suggested by the attorney general and the other said the legislature will consider the findings as part of an upcoming discussion about reforms to the university's governance structure.
Corman also expressed distaste in Penn State's response to the Paterno analysis. The university?s statement concluded, ?people will draw their own conclusions and opinions from the facts uncovered in the Freeh report.?
?That?s not good enough,? Corman said. ?You own this report. You either stand behind it or you refute it. ? Now that you have two completely different viewpoints, I think it?s the responsibility of the president and board to review it and come out and tell us what they believe. Hopefully, that will come.?

First lady among hundreds mourning slain Chicago girl
CHICAGO (Reuters) - The national debate over gun violence took a highly personal turn for first lady Michelle Obama when a Chicago girl was slain near Obama's family home just days after she performed at the presidential inauguration in Washington.
The first lady and top federal, state and city officials joined hundreds of mourners on Saturday at the funeral of Hadiya Pendleton, 15, who was killed at a park near her Chicago high school, casting the bitter national debate over gun violence in personal terms for the Obamas.
The first lady met privately with members of Pendleton's family and with about 30 of her friends and classmates before the funeral. She sat in the church next to senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett. Education Secretary Arne Duncan, who once led the Chicago public schools, sat next to Jarrett.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan and U.S. Representatives Danny Davis and Bobby Rush were also among the mourners.
"Hadiya's life has touched individuals, mothers, fathers, families and governments across this planet," her aunt, Linda Wilks, said. "If this does not demonstrate the power of light and love, we are a people deeply cloaked in darkness."
Pendleton's body rested in a silver casket, surrounded by flowers for the funeral service at Greater Harvest Baptist Church in Chicago.
Pendleton's mother, Cleopatra Cowley-Pendleton, thanked mourners for an outpouring of support since her daughter's death and at times laughed when talking about her.
"You don't know how hard this is. For those of you who do know how hard this is, I'm sorry," Cowley-Pendleton said. "No mother, no father should ever have to experience this."
Pendleton was fatally shot in what police say was a case of mistaken identity in a gang turf war as she and her friends took shelter from a rainstorm in a park near her school.
GUN VIOLENCE CLOSE TO HOME
A sophomore at Martin Luther King Jr. College Prep, Pendleton had performed with her school band eight days earlier at President Barack Obama's inauguration.
A "We the People" petition on the White House website signed by more than 1,000 people called on the president and his family to attend Pendleton's funeral. The first family's home is about a mile from the park where Pendleton was killed.
The back of the funeral program included a copy of a handwritten note from President Barack Obama to Hadiya's parents, Cowley-Pendleton and Nathaniel Anthony Pendleton:
"Dear Cleopatra and Nathaniel, Michelle and I just wanted you to know how heartbroken we are to have heard about Hadiya's passing. We know that no words from us can soothe the pain, but rest assured that we are praying for you and that we will continue to work as hard as we can to end this senseless violence. God Bless."
Across the street from the church, Lance Robinson, 16, a high school friend of Pendleton's, stood with two other friends. All three wore sweatshirts with "rest in peace Hadiya" on them.
"She always did want to change the world," Robinson said. "It's just a shame she had to die to do it."
Jacqueline Johnson, 49, of Chicago, said she believed the first lady's attendance was a positive thing.
"I think she's sending out a message (about Chicago violence) and hopefully it'll work," Johnson said.
Pendleton's death follows a massacre of 20 first graders and six adults at a Connecticut elementary school in December that inspired an intense U.S. debate about the easy availability of guns. In response, Obama has called for new restrictions on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines.
Pendleton's killing spurred calls from civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, who also attended Saturday's service, and the families of murder victims for Obama to address the gun violence in Chicago, the third largest city in the United States.
There were 506 homicides last year in Chicago, a 17 percent increase from the prior year, and 42 more victims in January, including Pendleton.
