Tricksy Knitter - Knitting Patterns (plus tips and tricks to help you knit)

http://www.tricksyknitter.com/index.php If you saw our kitchen reno, you'll know I have a small obsession with this colour of green. Saturated, bright, with a touch of ochre to it. (I have since repainted that kitchen wall to a more soothing avocado green so you can't see it from space any more). The new Paravel Wrap (which at different times was the Paravel Shawl, Paravel Scarf and Paravel Stole, but I liked the sound of Wrap best) is such a treat in CashLuxe fine.
Hi Veronica! I knitted your Belle Ruffle Gloves and just loved them! I used royal blue for the contrasting color and black for the main, and they look so Victorian, and elegant! http://voknits.com/belle-ruffle-gloves/

Interlock Bindoff : Knitty Spring+Summer 2011

http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEss11/FEATinterlock.php After the publication of Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bindoff , I began a quest to find a bindoff that would stretch out just as far as JSSBO, snap back in just as well, and also be invisible (or close to it). The bindoff you see to the right is where that quest led me. Interlock can be worked plain or in pattern, and results in a visually subtle edge that is highly elastic and does not look scalloped when unstretched. When worked in rib, it sits atop the last row and blends nicely into the fabric, following the bends of the ribbing. When worked plain over stockinette, it is the exact match for the Twisted (a.k.a.
i'll start my first post back with a finished project/tutorial! a few weeks ago, my boyfriend and i were planning to throw out this huge king size comforter. it was just so much fabric though, that i couldn't bear to part with it. so it sat beside the doorway for about a week, before it came to me. rag bath mat. so, i bought the gigantic knitting needles - size 19! ripped the comforter, made yarn from the fabric strips, and knit it up into a mat for my bathroom floor! http://blog.a-common-thread.com/2009/08/rag-bath-mat-tutorial.html

Braiding adds another dimension to an otherwise very simple pattern. Choose a soft yarn -- it will follow the curves of the braid better than a stiffer one. Lay the 3 single-ribbed strips next to each other on a flat surface. With threaded tapestry needle, use mattress stitch to sew the strips together along the inside edges for 1" (2.5cm). Braid the strips together, taking care not to twist them, until 1 to 11/2" (2.5 to 4cm) remains unbraided. Sew the unbraided strip ends together using mattress stitch along the inside edges for 1" (2.5cm) as before. http://tlc.howstuffworks.com/home/free-scarf-knitting-patterns5.htm

What I really like about the knitting stitches below is that they are made up of only 4-6 rows making them easy to memorize after a couple rounds. Some stitch patterns are in the range of 18 rows or more - beautiful but you need to pay attention. Once you know the basic knit stitches - knit, purl, slip stitches and yarn overs, then there are hundreds of stitch patterns based on combinations of these that you can use to knit unique scarves, blankets, shawls, even hats and socks.

The Addictive Baby Blanket « Ribbed For Your Pleasure

Designed by solmama April 2009 After knitting Mimi Davis’ One Row Blanket De La Harlot and finding out that a good number of my friends have babies on the way, I was inspired to write my own baby blanket pattern. I wanted an easy stitch pattern to remember that looked pretty with both solid and variegated yarns, so I looked at all of the beautiful ravelry FOs for my Slide Step Rib Cloth . This blanket pattern was born.
