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.

Then the patterns themselves are presented, by theme:

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?

Cabled iPad Sleeve (Pattern) « haramis knits As promised, I tinkered with the Kindle sleeve pattern, and now have an iPad version available. I should have anticipated that there would be a demand for the pattern in the first place, as right after I finished my Kindle sleeve, my friend Abbie, also known as The Green Wife, asked if I could make her one for her iPad. If I’d listened to her at the time, I would have had both patterns ready at the same time! I plan to knit a second iPad sleeve out of Malabrigo Worsted for a future giveaway, so please check back! Cabled iPad Sleeve 2 x 2 Left Cross: With a cable needle: Slip two stitches purlwise onto cable needle, hold in front, knit next two stitches, knit the two stitches from the cable needle. Without a cable needle: Slip two stitches, purlwise to the right-hand needle, knit next two stitches and transfer to RH needle.
