Friday fun: It's do-knit time
Friday here at Shiny Towers is usually donut day, but our fun is thwarted today as quite a few members of the office are on diets. What can you do when donuts are off the menu? Why, make a do-knit of course, liberally sprinkled with lashings of yummy yarn. And we've got the recipe for you right here.

Figure 2 : Remove the temporary cast on and weave those stitches together with the final row as pictured.
Don't forget to stuff the donut before weaving the final stitches!
