Here are a few interesting things from around the web that grabbed me this week:

• How to remove coffee and tea stains from mugs naturally! – from The Creek Line House. Well, this is a tip that is going to benefit more than one of the mugs in my cabinet!
• 5 Ways to Grow Your Instagram Following – from Chic in Academia. No matter how many good social media tips I read, I can’t seem to stop approaching social media from a seat-of-my-pants mindset. This is most true for me with Instagram, where I give very little (if any) forethought to what I post. Still, I enjoyed this article and I think I’ve taken away from it some ideas that even a spontaneous Instagrammer like me can use.
• How to Finish a Facing with Bias Binding – from Tilly and the Buttons. I need to study this. I finish necklines with bias binding all of the time, and my results are not usually anything to write home about…
• This Little Piggy – from Never Not Knitting. Oh, is this not the most adorable little baby hat ever?

And with that, I bid you farewell. See you tomorrow!
