Figure 8 Cast On Here's what I did with the Buttons yarn using the Simple Baby Socks pattern in The Magic Loop booklet. I highly recommend this booklet if you'd like to learn how to knit socks with one circular from the cuff down and from the toe up. These socks are knit from the toe, using a figure 8 cast on which can be a challenge to manage but produces the best sock toe. Last week I tried starting these socks while riding the bus but gave up after several attempts. It's definitely a task that needs to be done in a comfortable environment. Keep in mind that this cast on is not only great for socks, but can also be used for other circular items such as hats. Here's how the cast on is started on two circular needles. [Note: 4/9/2006 - I just noticed that this picture is wrong. Once the yarn is wound around the needles, I start knitting through the back loop of all the stitches on the top needle. Now I switch the bottom needle to the top and knit (not through the back loop) each stitch on this needle.
Knitting Stitches Visual Encyclopedia by Sharon Turner Book Review A knitwear designer or a knitter who likes to play with stitch patterns almost can't have too many stitch pattern books. All of them offer a little something different, arranged differently, and no two books are going to have exactly the same stitches represented. Knitting Stitches Visual Encyclopedia: 350 Stitch Patterns, Edgings, and More by Sharon Turner isn't an essential addition to a stitch library, but it does offer some patterns you don't see every day. About the Book Pages: 256 Format: hardcover Number of patterns: 350 Skill level: varies from beginner to advanced depending on the pattern Illustrations: full-color photographs; charts are in black and white except for those depicting color knitting patterns Knitting lessons: none, but chart symbols are explained glossary-style in the back of the book Publication date: October 2011 The Patterns The book begins with a brief introduction that serves as an overview of what's to come. Then the patterns themselves are presented, by theme:

Cast On Methods - How to Cast On Stitches in Knitting There are many different ways to get stitches on the needle so you can knit them, and it may seem like there are more methods than there really are because there are so many different names for the same thing. This quick guide will run through some of the most popular methods for casting on, as well as some of their more popular names. Wrap Cast On (c) Sarah White licensed to About.com, Inc. The wrap cast on is one of the easiestto execute, but it's not the easiest to perform because it is somewhat difficult to keep and even tension when you knit with it. Still, it is a good choice for beginners because it is quick and easy. Also known as: loop cast on, e-wrap cast on, single cast on Knit Cast On The knit cast on is another easy method and it has the added advantage of teaching the new knitter the knit stitch at the same time. Knit cast on is a good choice for all sorts of projects. Also known as: knitted cast on, knitting on Cable Cast On No known aliases. Long-Tail Cast On Provisional Cast On
Technickety: How to unvent a simple cable I had a heap of messages asking where the cable for Jeff's glove came from. It's a fairly generic multi-strand cable; called a "Saxon Braid" (thanks, Purly White!). I see Wendy at wendyknits has used it for a sweater, and I'm sure it's to be found in stitch dictionaries. That said, being able to read an existing cable and knowing how to reconstruct it is a very useful skill. I'm not suggesting, of course, that the following be used in any way that takes credit away from a designer of a garment - rather, this is a reference for understanding how a simple cable works and how to write a chart. The actual process is far more intuitive than what follows, but I've written each step out, just for documentation's sake. ***I should say my intention here isn't to be patronizing at all; I'm sure most of you have been doing this for a long time without this kind of manic detail. According to my definition, a "simple cable": Step by step 9) Add your WS row with strands as established. See?
The Palma Sweater: A unique knit I've come across a really beautiful and unique sweater. It's the Palma Sweater (shown at left) by Lene Holme Samsøe. What initially drew me to this sweater was its simplicity: a cross-front sweater with three-quarter-length sleeves and a wide-rib collar. Then I saw the back, and it's made up of a stunning cable panel that incorporates a leafy vine set off with rope cables. You know how I love leaves; add in the cables and it's a winner in my book. There's a third aspect to this sweater, though, that really puts it over the top. Here's the description from Lene's new book Essentially Feminine Knits: "This top has a lovely construction: it begins with a long, wide rib that forms the front and collar. You can see the construction best when looking at the schematic: I know I'm always saying that I'm going to knit this and I'm going to knit that, and I really do take the first steps: adding the projects to my queue, choosing yarn, and sometimes even swatching!
