Jeanette's Mobius

crystalmath — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:19:44 GMT

I crocheted a mobius scarf for a coworker of mine last year. She chose the yarn (fingering weight) and I had the freedom to decide what the best kind of scarf for her would be. I'm really amazed at the results, and was delighted to see her excitement when I delivered it to her at work!

Tangled

GraceM@10 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 02:00:25 GMT

Tangled is a truly fun way to use up scrap yarn.

Knit it in all one color or in various textures and colors for a more unique look. Tangled is knit by using the I cord method and then winding and twisting the I cord leaf sections through a base to create a secure and fun scarf.

It can be knit in any length, with any yarn and best of all it is small and portable.

There are 2 size leafs but they can be made any desired size. There is no wrong way to knit this scarf.

Here are the stitches you need to know -
Abbreviations:
K—knit
P—purl
k2tog—knit two stitches together
ssk—knit 2 together through back loops
Sl2 k1 ps2o—slip 2 stitches to right needle and k1 pass 2 slipped stitches over knitted stitch
Yoo—double yarn over—loop yarn over needle twice to create 2 yarn overs
Yo—yarn over needle to add stitch—be careful on yarn over before purl (make certain it goes all the way around the needle in order to add stitch)

Modified "We Call Them Pirates"

clstacy9999 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 04:32:04 GMT

This is my version of the hat "We Call Them Pirates." My granddaughter loves skulls and she loves pink, so I chose those colors in King Cole's Merino Blend Superwash Wool DK. I eliminated the vertical borders in order to reduce the number of stitches to fit it to a ten-year old's head. She loves it!

Dream

GraceM@10 — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 01:51:08 GMT

Dream was a challenge I gave myself when I purchased just one ball of Shadow Lace in this beautiful color Snorkel. I wondered if I could create a short, just above hip jacket with lacey sleeves and waist band.

Much to my delight I was able to create Dream. Dream is made from 100% Merino and I would highly suggest that if you use alternate yarn it is something similar to Merino so it will fluff properly and be light. This sweater can be closed in several ways because the lace in the edges allows you to slip a button anywhere. Here I overlapped the lapels to create a different closure.

This is a fairly snug cardigan/shrug and if you want a looser fit you may want to go up a size.

Stitches you need to know -
K—knit
P—purl
K2tog knit 2 stitches together through front loops
Ssk—knit 2 stitches together through back loops
YO—yarn over needle to create new stitch
Daisy Stitch—k1, p1, k1 in next 3 stitches to create 3 again
P3tog—purl 3 stitches together

Olive

Olive is an easy lace cardigan that is approx waist length and sits close to the body.

Short sleeves with a lace border add a dainty look and allow you to use it for most seasons. This would be a great cardigan in warmer areas as well.

Olive uses only basic knitting stitches plus the following - p2tog, k2tog, and yarn over.

If you can knit those stitches you can complete Olive.

Twisted Vine

GraceM@10 — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 02:57:38 GMT

The Twisted Vine Neckwarmer combine my favorite pattern feature - lace and cables. The swooping large cable is bordered by cascading leaves which entwine until the edge.

This scarf can be knit in any yarn from fingering to worsted weight. Bulky may be just a little to large but, it depends on how cold you are. :)

The scarf knits up fairly quickly depending on your desired length and can be a neckwarmer or a large long full length scarf.

Knit on size 8 needles with worsted weight yarn this scarf is sure to please anyone who loves nature.

Starting my Chuppah

Knitting4Hope — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 19:49:58 GMT

I just started knitting my lace Chuppah from the Interweave Magazine 2007. The only thing I am concerned about is the blocking, so if you have any tips, that would be great. I will post more pictures when I am farther along.

just for fun ...
