Made By Rae Arremate surpreendentemente elástico da Jeny Staiman | t r i c ô em p r o s a A Jenny Staiman cria peças insólitas e suas meias tem as construções mais inusitadas. Ela inventou esse arremate surpreendentemente elástico, descrito nesse artigo, em inglês. Ele é mais elástico que o arremate costurado da Elizabeth Zimmermann e ainda tem a vantagem de que não precisa cortar o fio. Indicado para arrematar golas de suéteres, meias tecidas dos dedos para cima (toe-up), punhos de suéteres, etc. Nesse arremate, um ponto é passado sobre o outro, da mesma maneira como se faz no arremate tradicional. Nesse tutorial mostrei cada passo necessário para processar o ponto meia e o ponto tricô. Como processar o ponto meia Se o próximo ponto na agulha direita é um ponto meia: Passo 1) Faça uma laçada invertida (com o fio atrás do trabalho, passe-o por cima e para frente da agulha direita): Passo 2) Trabalhe o ponto da agulha esquerda em meia: Passo 3) Na agulha direita, passe a laçada invertida sobre o ponto meia recém-trabalhado: Um ponto meia foi processado: Como processar o ponto tricô
Fake It While You Make It TECHknitting: Ordinary chain bind off part 1: binding off along a straight edge For today, ordinary stitch-over-stitch bind off along a straight edge--the top of a scarf; the neck of a sweater, for example. Step 1: Knit a stitch (purple) in the ordinary manner. Step 2: Knit the next stitch (green) in the ordinary manner. Step 3: Insert the left needle into the first (purple) stitch on the right needle. Step 4: Draw the first (purple) stitch over the second (green). Step 5. Step 6: Continue in this manner, repeating steps 2, 3 and 4 to create a bound off edge as shown below. There are (at least) three ways to do the last stitch so as to avoid a great big loop at the end. Method a (below) Work to the end of the row as you have been doing. Method b. Method c. Break off the yarn and draw the tail (orange) of the yarn through the selvedge stitch (tan), as well as the second-to-last stitch (blue). Stitch-over-stitch chain bind off has the potential to be tight. This post is part of a series. --TECHknitter You have been reading TECHknitting on chain bind off (cast off).
DIYcouture - Home The Magic of Mitered Knitting with Kara Gott Warner Creative Knitting's editor Kara Gott Warner is back with a new three-part series on knitting stitch techniques based on her Mix & Match Sampler course at Annie's. Enjoy! In this Workshop, we will dive into the “anatomy” of three different techniques. In Part 1, we will explore Mitered Knitting. Then in Part 2, we’ll step things up with Seed Stitch techniques, and finally, we’ll finish the series off with Part 3: Lace and Openwork. Together, we will work step-by-step through the process, and then I will send you off with “homework” so you can create stitch squares on your own. To kick things off, let’s jump right into a technique called Mitered Knitting, also commonly referred to as Modular or Domino Knitting. This technique is easy to grasp and it offers tremendous possibilities for creative expression. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination!

"Ta Da" she says between yawns. ;-) The pattern for the La Vie en Rose Afghan was complete and I was ready for a nap! There's a lot that goes into writing a pattern. (I'm not complaining...probably bragging. ;-) ) And now the pattern can be found on Etsy by clicking here. It includes a join-as-you go method, if preferred, and an invisible join. This 11 page photo step-by-step pattern/tutorial will delight crocheters...beginning to advanced. ;-) (I hope!) This afghan took a long time, for me, only because I kept putting it away for other projects. It's 37 rows long and one row could feasibly be crocheted in one to two evenings. So just as I was about to lay (lie) down, "La Vie" asked for a photo shoot. How could I say no to my intermittent companion for the last two years? So here she is: On the blue patio chair. On the kitchen counter. Folded up on the kitchen stools. Rolled up on the kitchen stools. Rolled up on the sofa. (This was "La Vie's" idea.) Spread out on the lawn. Hanging on the back fence.
