The pattern for the Behind Bars wrist cuff is all written up and ready for testing. I’m looking for a handful of testers who would like to try out the pattern right now, and tell me if they find any errors or unclear instructions. There is a testing sign-up thread on Ravelry. If you would like to [...] This is the first pattern I’ll be publishing as part of the Pattern-a-Week challenge. The Behind Bars cuff, named by my daughter Eris. I did the first version (pink and red) in Bendigo Classic 5 ply, then did another (yellow and grey) in Bendigo Classic 8 ply. The final pattern will be the 8 ply version, but [...] Oh dear … my ambitious, excited plan to publish the first pattern in my Pattern-a-Week Challenge has a flaw. I can design, knit and write up a pattern before Sunday, but there’s no time in that schedule for test-knitting and editing. D’oh. While it might be fun to release the occasional simple pattern without testing, it really [...] I have a plan. It may be a rubbish plan, and it’s not a truly original plan, but it’s mine and I’m going to share it with you. I am going to publish a new, original knitting pattern every Sunday for one year. That’s 52 patterns between now and, um, mid-May 2011. This is inspired by Jonathan [...] Front of Square in the Round. Here is another pattern for an 8 inch (20 cm) square, suitable for the knit-a-square project. Your gauge, yarn and needle size aren’t important. Start with 4 stitches, join to work in the round, then keep increasing every second row until the square measures 8 inches. Materials: small amounts of DK (8-ply) [...] When knitting squares for the knit-a-square project, I discovered the delights of the reverse mitered square. A mitered garter stitch square with stripes, shown from the right side. Gauge, yarn and needle size aren’t important. You start with just 3 stitches, increase every second row until the square is the size you want, and then cast [...] Much to my delight, the Fingerless Gloves Fanatics group on Ravelry has chosen my Marywarmers pattern for an Autumn KAL (knit-a-long). A pair of shorty Marywarmers that I made about a month ago, and that I've worn almost every day since. For a KAL, a bunch of knitters decide to knit the same pattern at the [...] The Fall issue of Knitty.com magazine is out. There are new patterns from two of my favourite designers. Straight to the queue they go! Clandestine by Cookie A. Another ornate, decadent sock design that may be a challenge to knit but will certainly turn out gorgeous. One of these days I will buy her book, Sock [...] I must show off these lovely socks made of Crystal Palace Bamboo Silk in the Persimmon Tones colourway. Mad Color Weave socks knit in Crystal Palace Bamboo Silk The pattern is Mad Color Weave by Tina Lorin, and it’s available for free. I love the way the stitch pattern shows off the intense bright colours of [...] Check out these wonderful socks made by Jill Scheetz. Jill's Domino Diamond Socks Jill used a free pattern from DROPS Design, and Noro Kureyon Sock yarn. Isn’t it a gorgeous combination? I wouldn’t have thought to try that pattern from the photo on the DROPS site, but Jill’s socks have me drooling. You can see more socks [...] |
