JGibson: Scalloped Edging. I needed a simple, stockinette-based edging for a chair arm cover I wanted for my knitting chair (which naturally gets an awful lot of wear...). I didn't want to mess with knitting on an edging, or with the fussy crocheting-off that so many edging patterns use. I just wanted to knit it and bind it off. Here it is! Scalloped Edging This pattern is worked back and forth on a multiple of 9 stitches. Cast on 9 stitches per repeat (that is, per triangle desired). One warning: the natural shape of the scallop is wider than necessary to produce the scallop. Note: you can work rows 7 and 8 in a contrasting color to emphasize the scalloped edge. To work this edging in the round, cast on 9 sts per repeat, bring the ends together and knit one round to establish the circle.
The bookmark was made in the round, and seamed down the center. ©Judy Gibson, 2002. Go to String and Air | Go to my Home Page. Father + Son Knit Ties. When it comes to gifts for my dad and brothers, I often find myself stumped. Thanks to Page's Rolled Hem Handkercheifs, their pockets are chock-full of squares; and thanks to years of knitting, their heads and feet are warmed by piles of hats and socks. In need of a new go-to gift, the Father Son Knit Ties were born! Now, my dad and brothers aren't fancy men, but they are gentlemen of the southern variety. They don't flinch at dressing up, and somehow even their "casual" is always quite pulled together. I think these chic and simple hand knit ties will be right at home with their refined style, dressing up jeans and a sweater or adding a kick to slacks and a blazer. I made these ties with two gorgeous yarns, Koigu's Premium Merino and Anzula's Sebastian: one matte and one shiny for textural complexity and both with a sophisticated polish that makes these ties special!
The Materials This is enough yarn for one Father's Tie and one Son's Tie. The Pattern: Son's Tie Gauge Finished Dimensions. See it Knit – Lettuce (#37) « malabrigo yarn. Lettuce shown in Rasta Lettuce is a colour created early in the history of Malabrigo. It came to exist in a stroke of inspiration, while Antonio was playing with the dyes. Since the dyes are in powder form, you can not really see what the result colour will be like until it’s done, so it takes experience, intuition and a touch of luck to get an elegant, eye-catching and beautyfully original result like the colour Lettuce. It had great acceptance and turned out to be one of our most popular colourways. You can find Lettuce in almost all Malabrigo yarn bases.

How to Determine How Many Yards of Yarn Are Left in a Skein. Tutorial: Using ratios to calculate yardage « Yarnberry. Posted by yarnberry on May 21, 2007 Sometimes I’m working on a project, and I want to figure out how many yards of yarn I’ve used to create it.
I have to frog the project and measure it, or measure how many yards are left in the skein, right? There’s a much easier way: calculate how many yards I’ve used in the project, using the a kitchen scale and the yarn label. Here is an example from a slipper pattern I’m working on at the moment. I want to make a second pair, but I’m not sure if I have enough yarn. Measure weight of the object (without needles, buttons, or anything else attached): = 90 g Check weight of skein from the yarn label: = 142 g Calculate percentage of skein used: = weight of object / weight of skein = 90 g /142 g Check yardage of skein from the yarn label: = 275 yd Calculate percent of yardage used: = length of skein * percent of skein used = 275 yd * 63% = 174 yd Remember that this is an estimate.
So I need approximately 176 yards of 18st/4″ yarn to make this project again. Like this: Results for JAPANESE MYK SIZE 8 SEED BEADS:COLORLINED. Usability. Baby Booties Without Seams (bottom up) A pattern by YarnThrower This pattern was inspired by Ruth's "Perfect" Baby Booties, though my construction method is quite different, eliminating the seam found along the back and center bottom of many baby bootie patterns.
(After searching online **unsuccessfully** for a "seamless" baby bootie pattern, I decided to figure one out on my own...) This particular pattern begins at the bottom of the bootie and works up toward the cuff. I have also published another version, which is Baby Booties Without Seams (top down). This pattern utilizes a cast on which is often used in toe-up sock patterns. A couple of methods are Judy's Magic Cast-On and Deb's Turkish Cast-On.

My friend, Bob, just opened his own Edward Jones investment office. He always looks ultra professional and put together, so I wanted to knit him a guy scarf that would be formal enough to wear with his overcoat and suits but transition to weekend wear, too. I made it extra wide so it can be worn flat or kinda scrunched up and tucked inside his coat as he said he will wear it. The scarf is knit in a hurdle stitch with garter ribs which is reversible, easy to memorize and makes an interesting texture that doesn't curl.

I Knit London, shop and sanctuary for knitters. Knitting Increases. An increase is simply adding a stitch to the knitting. Consider all of the ways you could create a new loop of yarn on the needle. Each way is likely to have been named and used by someone. If I could use only three methods (and I pretty much do only use these three), they would be M1L, M1R, and Yarn Over (YO). The first two are the most discreet and invisible, and match each other symmetrically for the fussy among us. YO is, by contrast, intentionally visible: it creates a decorative hole in the knitting, which is used a lot in lace. The sampler below contains both increases and decreases. Make One Away This doesn't match the right side absolutely perfectly, but it is just fine for beginners. view continental videoview english video This is the easiest increase.

Please watch my video on the Moebius to learn how to get started with this kind of knitting which is unlike anything else you may have ever done. Once you learn the cast-on and what to watch for, you’ll find it easier than knitting a garter stitch scarf. I can do the Moebius Cast-On behind my back, not because I am clever, but because it is that simple.
Many of my students can also, shortly after learning it. Don’t believe the myth that twisting your join creates a Moebius. A twisted cast-on has a full 360 degrees of twist, while a Moebius has half that. And it matters, if you love grace and magic. I designed this simple yet elegant Moebius cowl for my segment on the Knitty Gritty TV show (DIY network), in order to teach 3 basic things: the way to start any Moebius, that every design element is mirrored from the “equator” outward, and that one gets what I call “bipolar stockinette” if there is no purling at all, and that the results are oh so beautiful, graceful, and simple to manage.
