I’m going with #4.
Scotch tape could produce some very seductive tan lines.
I would like labels to have my company name and washing instructions.

good luck!
I am planning to knit a few bikinis for the summer to be a little creative and I wannna know what would be the materials that I should look for in a yarn in order for it to be able to be used while swimming. Also, I would like to know if I can find them at places like Walm art or Michaels.
I agree with the first answer – NOTHING that stretches when it gets wet. Cotton is an excellent choice, and the smaller the yarn/thread, the less of a problem you’ll have with things poking through that you’d rather didn’t (or else you can line it with light-weight cotton fabric). ‘Knit-cro-sheen’ or ‘speed-cro-sheen’ weight thread was the preferred weight for bikinis back in the 60′s and 70′s.
Cream, beige, or pastels are good colors to go for – white can turn yellow in chlorine or mottled brown in lake water, and bright/deep colors can fade rapidly in chlorine.
Good luck!
I’m a beginner in knitting, and I would like to learn how to do different styles of stitch besides the stockinette stitch and the knit stitch while making a scarf. A website that tells you how to do it would be greatly appreciated, especially if that site offers training videos! Best answer gets 10 points! =)
Well, technically, there are only two stitches in knitting…that is: knit and purl. Everything else is just variations of that ie: knit one row, purl one row is stockingnet stitch; knit every row is garter stitch; knit one stitch, purl one stitch is 1×1 rib, etc. Stockingnet, garter and ribbing are not, technically speaking, stitches. They are stitch patterns that are made up by the two stitches, knit and purl, in different combinations.
There’s also techniques in knitting, such as increasing, decreasing, and various lacy knitting techniques such as YO’s (yarn overs), Sl (slip a stitch) etc.
For these things, I would go to :
http://www.knittinghelp.com/videos/learn-to-knit
It has lots of videos on most all of the commonly used techniques, and I would recommend it for any beginner. It does have a few stitch patterns. Most of the time, though, if you have a pattern, the stitch pattern is written in.
There’s also Ravelry, which is a knitting community with lots of forums full of helpful knitters to answer your questions and a fabulous pattern browser which makes it simple to search the internet for free patterns. You have to sign up, and wait a bit for approval, but it’s worth it. You can find that site here:

Good luck, and Happy Knitting!
Plying on a hand spindle is easy and fun. I’ve also figured out a way to “ply onto” an existing ball of yarn which allows me to have a large finished skein instead of the small amounts generally allowed by a hand spindle.
