Free Knitting Patterns for Warm Weather
The term warm weather sounds a little weird when it's garbage day and you have to scrape off ice to get the trash can lid open. However, as I am forever the sparkling-eyed optimist, here's a post for warm weather knitting patterns. Knitty's new issue, spring+summer 2011 , has some very pretty patterns, and they're free!
I got sick of the 6 inches of ribbing at the neck of my Somewhat Cowl, so I decided to take a break yesterday and try something new. No, the yarn isn't new. Toddler socks aren't new, but the way I made these was new to me. First of all, I made them toe up. Second, I used Magic loop instead of dpn.
Free Pattern! Toe Up, Heal Flap, Magic Loop Toddler Socks

Remember I promised toe up socks knit using the magic loop method? And I said I'd try heels with flaps? Here they are!
Fold bear in half and sew seam starting at the bottom of one foot, go up and around leaving between legs open for stuffing. Turn bear right side out, stuff starting at head, arms, then body, and legs. Neatly stitch leg opening closed. Draw up neck with yarn and tie in a triple knot - add bow and sew securely. EARS: they are just part of the head and need to be stitched in with yarn.
Buddy Bears to knit
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.

The Thumb Trick:
I really like this method because it's seamless; sometimes when patterns have you place stitches on a holder and then cast on the top stitches you can get an odd seam right in the crease where your thumb meets the hand, and that can be uncomfortable. The only trouble that some people may have with this method is that you cannot immediately try on your mitten in progress, as you can with mittens where the stitches are put on holders. But if you want to you can just knit a few more rows and then pick up the stitches instead of waiting until the mitten is done, threading the waste yarn through them so you can try on your mittens as you knit.Interesting! I shall share this with a friend of mine. by Feb 20
Leider muss ich mich wieder für eine unfreiwillige Blogpause entschuldigen, ein fast 2 Wochen dauernder Internet- und Telefonausfall gehören für uns leider schon seit Jahren zum Alltag auf dem Französischen Lande. Dies ist auch der Grund für meine gegenwärtige Kommentar -und Blogleben- Abwesenheit. Aber als kleine Entschuldigung HIER die Anleitung zum Herbstlaubschal, der nun in " Blätterrauschen" umgetauft wurde. Der Schal kann beliebig lang und breit gestrickt werden, Strickerinnen des Elfenstille-Tuchs werden kaum r kaum Schwierigkeiten mit dem Muster haben.

Tutorial - starting a shawl with a garter tab
When I first started knitting shawls this was one of the things that flummoxed me. Why would you faff about with knitting a tiny garter stitch rectangle and picking up stitches (my pet hate) when you can just cast on the right amount to start with?
Jäckchen kann man immer brauchen, oder? Irgendwie scheinen es mir die Dinger angetan zu haben, sonst hätte ich nicht, quasi ohne es zu merken, gleich mehrere davon gestrickt. Ganz einfach und gerade geschnitten, passt super über langärmlige T-Shirts, aber wenn ich mir die Fotos so angucke, sitzt es nicht so richtig gut.
Strickmich! — … because some things just have to be knit
Ingredients - 3 skeins Noro Silk Garden (colourway 211 if you wanna be just like me). I used up just shy of three balls. I worked out I could cut out the boring grey bits of the end of the third ball and still have a long enough scarf.
