editorial spring 06 Note: To make this pattern easier to understand, the predominantly yellow (MC) side will be called the RS, and the predominantly black (CC) side will be called the WS. CO 48 stitches using CC. I recommend using a cable cast on, but a tubular cast on is also nice for double knitting. Now it's time to add the second color, and work the first row. You will have to get used to holding both yarns at once. The first row is worked entirely in MC on the RS, and CC on the WS. You should have what looks like the first row of 1x1 rib, but with the purled stitches in a different color from the knitted ones. Turn the work, so the WS is facing. You have just worked 2 rows in double-knit stockinette stitch, with one side (RS) worked in MC, and one side (WS) in CC. Begin Chart Pattern: When working from this chart, the odd-numbered rows will be RS rows, and the even-numbered rows will be WS rows. Work through all rows of the chart, then repeat rows 97-102 until the scarf is the desired length.

smaller: Small craft- Zsa mask We are really excited about this cool hat project! It's easy enough for even a beginner like me to make so I am going to try and get one done for Christmas. You can find other great projects and get some crafting inspiration from the prolific and talented Dutch blogger- Mme ZsaZsa. Although the design looks complicated, it’s actually just a piece of knitted fabric with the sides stitched together. The ears don’t have to be knitted but are shaped by wearing the hat, and the eyes are openings made by casting stitches off in one row and casting them back on in the next row. Take a look at the pattern drawing: You knit a rectangle of 31 stitches to a length of 40cm. Ok, we’re starting. - Cast on 31 stitches and knit 4 rows in stockinette stitch, that is knitting one row (RS) and purling the next (WS). - Row 5: knit 8 stitches, cast off 6, knit 3, cast off another 6 and knit the remaining 8. - Row 6: purl 8 stitches, cast on 6, purl 3, cast on another 6 and purl the remaining 8. - Done!
Hip Hop Blanket :: Etsy Blog When was the last time you picked up your knitting needles? The new year is still fresh and you have plenty of time to grab 2011 by the horns (or knitting needles?) and make good on goals to learn a new skill or try a new project. Intarsia is a knitting technique that gets its name from a type of wood work in which blocks of different colors of wood are pieced together, puzzle-like, to create an image. In my new book, Stitch ‘n Bitch Superstar Knitting: Go Beyond the Basics, I devote an entire chapter to explaining the ins and outs of this method, but I’ll give you a few basics here. Stitch ‘n Bitch Superstar Knitting is available from Amazon, Workman, and an independent bookstore near you. Intarsia Tips The idea of intarsia is to make it look like your yarn magically changed from one color to the next in your knit row. So how do you deal with all that yarn? The only main challenge with knitting intarsia is linking your different colors of yarn together. A: 10 balls #18B: 2 balls #1364
