Tutorial Choices

I love love sharing the different tricks I discover, learn and to take a word from Elizabeth Zimmerman, unvent. There are many ways to share those. In person and that is my favorite. Through photo tutorials, which I have done a few of and the easiest for us all I think, video tutorials. These takeContinue reading “Tutorial Choices”

Counting Rows/Rounds Swatch

Here are the directions for the swatch that I made to use in the video to count rows/rounds in knitting. If you haven’t seen the video, the link is here. I think that if you make the swatch yourself, counting rows and rounds in knitting will be even easier for you than after watching theContinue reading “Counting Rows/Rounds Swatch”

Shawls and Their Charts

This is an eBook I got as part of the Swatch Studio Circle. I’m not sure where to find a copy now. You can message Frenchie here on Instagram and ask. She is the author. There is both charted and written directions. I started this with the 5 day challenge Frenchie does on occasion onContinue reading “Shawls and Their Charts”

Linen and Lace

I’ve been working on this swatch for a while now. Ripping and redoing. The linen, cotton blend yarn I’m using wasn’t happy about it so I changed over to using some fingering weight super wash wool and it is taking the ripping so much better. Yesterday after teaching Estonian lace at Yarnfest I grabbed myContinue reading “Linen and Lace”

From Design Idea to Published Pattern

This topic can be approached from a couple of different directions and might become lengthy. I will start with the approach of what I as a designer of crochet and knit patterns experience in my personal design process. First of all the design process is exactly that, personal. It is different for everyone and everyoneContinue reading “From Design Idea to Published Pattern”

Habit Stacking

I don’t know a lot about habit stacking, but I have learned that it is adding something you want to do, to something that you already do. I love to spin yarn. However I don’t really take the time to do it. Mostly I spin when I’m doing a demo for educational purposes, but IContinue reading “Habit Stacking”

Support Your Stitching

This post probably not going to be about what you’re thinking, I’m not talking about financially, I’m talking physically, literally support your stitching. I am working on a cowl that is going to be sort of epic for me. It is reeeeaaaallllyyy long. It’s the Scattering Petals cowl from Dana Rae. Here is the linkContinue reading “Support Your Stitching”

Knitted Mitered Squares

A swatch of course. I tried a couple of different increases to see which one I liked best. Blocking will tell the final story but that won’t happen until tomorrow. Then I tried two different bind off methods to see which one most closely matched the give and stretch of the slipped stitch side. AboveContinue reading “Knitted Mitered Squares”

Mitered Squares

I have finally finished that last project and now I can start another! I’m not a monogamous stitcher but I do try to limit myself and meet the same deadlines I give my testers. I will be starting a mitered squares baby blanket. This one will be knit but I also have plans for aContinue reading “Mitered Squares”
