In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Before you begin joining your stitches, make sure to check the position all the way around your circular or double-pointed needles. Make sure that all of the cast on stitches are pointing down and that they are not twisted. If you notice any twisted stitches, straighten them out using your fingers. Joining the first and last stitches you cast on in a round is just a matter of knitting or purling. Start by inserting your needle (knit-wise or purl-wise as required for your project) into the first stitch that you cast on. This will be the stitch that has a tail of yarn extending from it. Loop the yarn over the needle that you just inserted into the stitch. Then, pull this yarn through the stitch to create a new loop. Slip the cast on stitch off of your left needle as the new stitch you just created replaces it on your right needle. Then, continue to knit or purl the rest of the stitches in the round as needed for your project.
Summary: Check the position of your stitches. Insert the needle with the working yarn into the first stitch you made. Loop the yarn over the needle and pull through. Slip off the stitch and allow the new yarn to replace it.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: To make your case more interesting, consider using two different colors of felt. This way, one color will be on the inside, and the other color will be on the outside. You are making the felt pieces twice the height of your phone because you will be folding them in half. Draw a line connecting this mark to the top left corner. This will make a front pocket for your case. If you want to have a pocket on both sides, fold the felt rectangle in half, first, then cut through both layers of felt This will create identical pockets on both sides of the case. Discard the triangles you cut out, or save them for another project. Make sure that all the sides align. The cut piece of felt will go on the outside, and make the pockets. The uncut piece of felt will now be sandwiched in between the cut piece of felt. You will end up with a rectangle that is the same height as your phone. You want the case to be snug around your phone. Move the pins around until the case fits snugly around your phone. Once you are happy with the fit, slip your phone out. Pull the pins out as you go. You can match the thread color to your case, or use a contrasting color. You can sew this by hand, or on a sewing machine. Depending on how thick your phone is, you may need to cut down the seams. For a cleaner finish, cut them to within 2 millimeters of the stitching. For a more interesting finish, trim them using pinking shears. You can slide other items into the side pocket(s), such as credit cards and paper money.
Summary: Cut two pieces of wool felt, twice the height of your phone, and 2 centimeter (0.8 in) wider. Take one of the pieces of felt, and make a mark on the right edge, 6 centimeter (2.4 in)  down from the top edge. Cut along the line you drew. Place the cut felt it on top of the uncut felt. Fold both pieces of felt in half and secure the sides with sewing pins. Slip your phone inside the case, and adjust the fit as needed. Sew around the edges of your case, using the pins as a guide. Trim the side seams, if needed. Slide your phone into the case and use it.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Try to remain calm. The calmer you are, the better you will be able to think on your feet.  Deep breaths should come from your diaphragm. Place a hand on your stomach and feel it expand when you breathe in and contract when you breathe out. If taking a deep breath doesn’t help, count to five. You might also clench muscle groups for several seconds and then relax. Begin with your shoulders and then work down to your feet. You might be angry, but don’t start threatening the caller or yelling at them. That’s counter-productive and you won’t get helpful information. Instead say, “You’re calling in a bomb threat? I’m listening.” You need to take down as much information as possible from the caller. Reach for nearby notepad or sheet of paper. Grab a pencil or pen. If your phone has a display, then write down the number that shows up. The police might be able to trace this number. For example, “Monday, March 27, 2017 at 11:44 am.” Do this as soon as possible so that you don’t forget. Stay on the line. Hand your colleague a short note asking them to call the police. Write “Bomb threat. Call police now.” Keep it short. Avoid talking all over the caller. Let them speak, because they have important information to share.  If you have trouble hearing, hand the phone to a coworker so that they can listen to the caller. Sometimes, when we’re nervous, the blood starts pumping in our ears. It’s okay. Just hand the phone to someone who can calmly listen to the caller.
Summary:
Take a deep breath. Avoid making threats. Grab a notepad. Copy down the number. Write down the day and time. Give a coworker a handwritten note. Listen to the caller.
