The Incredible, Custom-fit Raglan Sweater
A simple, fill-in-the-blanks method for making the incredible, custom-fit raglan--the sweater that is knit from the neck down in one piece, to fit anybody! By Pamela Costello, St. Paul, Minnesota Introduction The incredible, custom-fit raglan is a sweater knit from the neck down in a single piece on circular needles, and it can be made to fit any size from infant to adult. This form of raglan sweater is not my original idea. This worksheet will take you through the steps required to design and knit the custom-fit raglan. Materials The materials needed to design and knit this sweater are: What kind of yarn? This is your sweater, so choose any yarn you darn well please! How much yarn? It is impossible to calculate in advance the exact amount of yarn needed. This chart also gives approximations of the raglan measurements for each standard size.

KnitPicks.com : Knitting Supplies, Knitting Yarn, Books, Patterns, Needles & Accessories Welcome to Neauveau Fiber Arts: How to Unravel a Sweater to Recycle Yarn This is the sweater we will be unraveling. Turn your sweater inside-out, grab a pair of sharp scissors and let's get started! There are good seams and bad seams. This is an example of a good seam. It looks like two tiny braids side-by-side. Newbie unravelers will want to cut the thread one bit at a time, which is fine. I've cut the seam from the bottom of the sweater to the end of the sleeve. At the top of the sleeve are little loops! FLASH FORWARD: See the pile of yarn ramen in this photo? When you unravel a sweater that is made of many colors, you will usually find a knot where the two colors meet. Here is the collar and shoulder seams of the sweater, still waiting to be unraveled. This is what a bad seam looks like. On a whim I pull the little thread. But what do we do about the bad seam on each shoulder? Here is the skein-measuring thing (I call it a "ghetto-knoddy" - a ghetto version of a niddy noddy you can buy online. Tips for specific yarns

Tuto : un pull en bottom up et Grafting - Le blog de Systemeb Voici un tuto pour faire des pulls ou des gilets en bottum up. ( il s'agit d'une version remise partiellement à jour car j'ai perdu les photos et je fais les tutoriels en fonction des ouvrages que je tricote. Je remplis donc les photos manquantes au fur et à mesure. Merci donc de votre patience ) En terme clair, c'est tricoter un pull en rond, sans couture, de bas en haut en y ajoutant les manches, pour finir vers le col. Il existe des modèles qui se tricotent directement comme cela mais vous pouvez tout aussi créer un modèle personnel ou adapter un modèle existant Voici donc le principe : On tricote d'abord le devant et le dos ensembles. Arrivé à l'emmanchure, on met en attente et on va prendre une nouvelle pelote, remonter des mailles et tricoter les manches en partant là aussi du bas. Ceci revient à avoir 3 tubes avec les mailles du haut en attente. Il faut ensuite remettre les 3 tubes sur une seule aiguille circulaire avant de tricoter le haut Voici de plus près Voici le trou initial

sleepyti.me bedtime calculator Faire sa dentellière : Tuto pour des châles au tricot avec (ou sans) dentelle - Le blog de systemeb 15 janvier 2012 7 15 /01 /janvier /2012 10:08 Il m'a semblé utile de faire un petit récapitulatif de ce que je sais sur les châles. Je vais essayer d'être très simple et claire sur les différentes étapes et je vous donnerais mes petits trucs. Les photos sont ceux de mes châles sauf lorsque je le précise Plusieurs étapes sont nécessaires pour bien comprendre : Comprendre comment se tricotent la plupart des châles ? La plupart des châles sont triangulaires mais ne se tricotent pas tous de la même manière On appelle le haut du châle la partie la plus large ( celle qui se pose sur les épaules ) et le bas du châle la pointe châle Haruni d'Emily Ross, en angalis sur ravelry, là : link modèle traduit en français par Christine73, là : link Si vous observez bien le châle vous voyez qu'il est symétrique, le long d'une ligne verticale centrale. Ainsi on tricote à partir d'un petit nombre de mailles depuis la nuque. si on tricote 6 rangs, on relèvera 3 mailles, cela en fera 9m sur l'aiguille pour débuter

fuck yeah nail art! I created this tumblr because I always end up browsing for hours before I do a new manicure, and I wanted the world's best nail art available in one place. I'm not into the average art you can get at any corner nail salon, I like the new, crazy, interesting nail art. It's the 21st century, your nails shouldn't look like the 90s! Most of the nails posted are not mine. All nails have links back to their original sources. If you're new to tumblr, you should know that the "fuck yeah" in this blog's title is not meant to offend--fuck yeah blogs are a tumblr phenomenon intended to indicate that the blog is solely dedicated to that single subject.
