INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Take first stitch in the row and slide it off of the left hand needle and onto the right hand needle. Do not knit the stitch. Just slide it from one needle to the other. Insert the right hand needle into the next stitch on the left hand needle as if you are going to knit the stitch. However, do not complete the stitch yet. Take your working yarn strand and wrap it around the needle that you just inserted through the stitch. Wrap the yarn around the needle in a clockwise fashion and then bring the strand to the front of your work. Use your thumb to anchor the loop at the length you want it to be. If you want a long loop, then position your thumb a few inches away from the needles. If you want a shorter loop, then position your thumb right next to the needles. After looping the yarn around your thumb, bring it back up and around the needle again, but wrap it in the opposite direction (clockwise) this time. Complete the first loop stitch by knitting 1 stitch. The loop will be secured by this stitch. Next, lift the first loop up and over the stitch you just knitted. Knit the next stitch as a normal stitch. It is important to knit 1 regular stitch after each loop stitch. After you finish 1 loopy stitch, start the sequence over again and continue to repeat it to the end of the row. The next row should just be knit stitches. This will ensure that your project is stable enough to support the loopy stitches. After a knit row, return to the loopy stitch row, and then the knit row again. Continue this sequence until you have completed your project.

SUMMARY: Slip 1 stitch from the left needle to the right needle. Insert your needle into the next stitch. Wrap the yarn around the needle counter-clockwise 1 time. Loop the yarn around your thumb and then around the needle. Knit 1 stitch. Lift the first loop on the needle over the stitch you just knitted. Knit 1 stitch normally. Repeat the stitch sequence to the end of the row. Knit the next row. Alternate between loopy stitch rows and knit rows.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Oregano oil is thought to have antiseptic and antispasmodic properties. Apply five to six drops of oregano oil directly to a clean cotton swab into and apply it on your skin tag three times a day. You should see the tag gradually dry up. This process usually takes about a month.  After apply oregano oil for the first time, tie off the skin tag at the base using silk thread or dental floss. Leave the thread there until the tag falls off. Once the tag falls off, rinse the area with warm water, apply an antibacterial ointment, and secure with a bandage until it is fully healed. Be careful when applying natural oils, such as oregano, as they can irritate your skin. If your skin appears red, immediately discontinue using the oil. You should also avoid treating the area around your eyes. This oil is well known for its anti-fungal properties. Get out a clean cotton ball. Dip it into clean water and then place three drops of tea tree oil onto the ball. Wash the area of the skin tag and the skin 1” around it using the cotton ball. Repeat three times a day. This is an effective way to dry up your tag as long as you are consistent with oil applications.  Make sure to include the water as it lessens the possibility of the oil irritating your skin, including your fingers. You can also dilute tea tree oil by mixing it with olive oil. Some people also recommend placing a band-aid over the treatment area until the skin tag falls off due to dryness. Be careful treating the area around your eyes as the oil can cause irritation. You can either snip off a piece of an aloe vera plant or squeeze it to get the gel or you can purchase a bottle of aloe vera gel at a store. Get a cotton swab and dip it in the gel. Wipe it on your tag as often as you like. This method relies on the natural curative properties of aloe vera and its effectiveness is hit or miss. In a small bowl mix castor oil and baking soda until it reaches a thicker consistency. Get a cotton swab, dip in the paste, and apply it to your tag. Apply as often as desired although watch for skin irritation. The effectiveness of this method is widely acknowledged among natural remedy practitioners. Get a fresh garlic clove and grind it into a paste in a small bowl. Take a cotton swab, dip it in the paste, and place a small amount on top of your skin tag. Cover the tag with a bandage. You can do this once a day. Another method is to take a garlic clove and slice it into “discs.” Then, select one disc and place it on top of your skin tag. Secure it with a band-aid. Follow this process in the morning and remove the disc and bandage in the evening. Your skin tag should fall off within the week. Get a cotton ball and soak it in apple cider vinegar until it is totally saturated. Place the cotton ball on your skin tag and hold for a few minutes. You can move the ball in a circular motion on the skin to increase absorption if you like. Repeat this process three times per day until your skin tag falls off. This method is usually quite effective. Depending on your skin the vinegar may not be as effective so you can try using apple cider by itself.  It is typical to experience some itching when treating your skin with vinegar. If it gets too annoying, dilute the vinegar a bit with water before the next application.

SUMMARY: Apply oregano oil. Apply tea tree oil. Rub on aloe vera. Use a castor oil paste. Put on a garlic paste. Treat with apple cider vinegar.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The National Cellular Directory is an organization which functions much like a land line phone company, keeping a database of individual cell phone numbers. However, it is an "opt-in" service, and to find a person there, that person must have voluntarily registered. People search organizations such as Intellius will quickly find just about anybody. A simple name/address/phone number search can be very inexpensive—in some cases, under a dollar. If you do a lot of searches, though, you would probably want to consider a more robust plan.  Most online searches will "find" a person for free. But to get any more information than that will have a significant cost. These organizations do not always operate with information that is up-to-date. For example, while they may be able to find the cell phone number of a particular person, that cell phone number may have been discontinued several months previously. Use caution when considering these organizations to ensure you are working with a legitimate company. Experience has also shown that those sites have incorrect ages or locations, even going so far as to offer to sell you the phone numbers of people who are long deceased. While virtually all the name search sites will charge you to view a phone number, there is a plethora of information out there on all of us, and our phone numbers may be attached to a number of things. School newspapers, social media sites, local organizations we may have joined, etc. Many times, people will make their phone numbers available to the general public. If you know the person and are trying to reconnect, friend them on Facebook, or make them a connection on LinkedIn.
