Patterns. Fall 2007. Finding your waist For this dress I chose to keep most of the top intact, cutting it off just above the ribbing which hit at the hips.
Depending on the top you’re working with, your body and taste, you might decide to have the bodice of your dress end at your waist or under the bust for an empire waisted dress. Try the top on, mark where you’d like to cut, then take it back off and put in on the operating table. Since most knits are worked from the bottom up, you’ll be going against the grain and will not be able to unravel from the hem up to where you’d like the waistline. Instead, you’ll need to place a safety line (if you’re the nervous sort), then get out the scissors and cut at the base of the stitches in the row below your safety line. Reclaiming the yarn After the surgery is complete, chances are you have a couple of decent sized pieces of knitting waiting to be unravelled. A tube-shaped skirt is the easiest design choice. Basics.

On top of the page you see a crocheted swatch worked in the round. Below is a crochet diagram for that same swatch and below that a stitch guide for the different symbols that are included in the stitch diagram.

The over-clothed Northerners have caught up, or maybe I should say gotten down, with our cousins in the South. It is summer! We are sleeveless and wonderful, just like you’ve been for months! One of my favorite holidays was spent on Ocean Ave. in a restored deco hotel on South Beach, Miami. Within 10 minutes of checking into the Penguin Hotel, I’d thrown on my bathing suit, a tank top and a pareo and just ran to the Atlantic. Stop knitting in the hazy crazy days of summer?

A Knitting & Crochet Blog: Dyeing and Hand-Painting Cotton Yarn. Patty asked: Hi, Your yarn looks great on your dishcloth.
Can you share with me what kind of cotton yarn you used and what kind of dye you used? I have a hard time finding colors for my kitchen and would love to try to dye my own.Thank you so much. Thanks for the compliments! I use Peaches-n-Creme, Sugar-n-Cream, or Lion Cotton in white, ecru, or natural. I use Rainbow Rock tie-dye kits from the crafts store, since the dyes are pre-measured and come with squirt bottles.
