Free Knitting Stitch Library 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?

How to Cable Without a Cable Needle November 7th, 2011 by Jess Now that you’ve learned to use a cable needle, what do you do if you want to start a cabled project and don’t have a cable needle on hand? Don’t fret; you can cross your stitches without using a separate needle! Here’s how to do it. Now, a few notes on this technique. Cabling without a cable needle works best on smaller cables.

Hobbes - Amigurumi Patterns.net I've finally decided to write up my Hobbes pattern and instead of selling it I'd like to give it to you for free. The reason he is free is because the creator of Calvin and Hobbes, Bill Watterson did not want to commercialize his work so keeping that in mind Please don't sell this pattern and don't sell the completed work. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I originally made this up for my son because of his love for Hobbes (he's 23 now) I armed myself with Watterson's brilliant drawings as a reference. I made this pattern to look as close as possible to the Hobbes' drawings . I realized that Hobbes could be broken down into basic shapes. He also had the muzzle of a cat so I looked to the famous Amineko cat. Once I got the shapes down I worked on size. Until I started making him I never realized how different Hobbes looks from a regular cat. His head and body are a lot longer thanan normal cat plus he has the shortest fattest legs. That caused me problems since tubular legs and arms don't want to bend. Resources:
untitled In my opinion moose is the ultimate Christmas animal, so I thought of making one this season. Unlike most of my other projects that are knitted this toy is crocheted. Crocheting seemed like a logical way of making it since most amigurumi-type toys are crocheted. Besides, crocheting lends itself to making all sorts of amazing smooth shapes without much effort. Yarn and Crochet I had a few skeins of really bulky Gianna yarn (50% soysilk, 50% wool) which would have been perfect for a throw had I about 20 of them. 1 skein of dark brown yarn for antlers and feet (100g/83m)4 skeins of light brown yarn for head, body, and legs (100g/83m)Crochet size 9 (I) Pattern There really is only one type of stitch used for making this moose – a single crochet. Process Feel free to start with any body part that appeals to you. Antlers and Ears Ears are the easiest thing to make: chain 6, turn, and single crochet (sc) 5 remaining stitches. Antlers (work in dark brown) Round 12 (reduce 4): [skip 1, sc1] 4 times

Basic Party Wrap Time to Party: This cute little fuzzy wrap makes me think of holiday parties and other celebrations. It's a super-easy project that gives you lots of practice increasing and decreasing. Materials: Two skeins of fuzzy, medium-weight yarn, or about 300 yards (I used Yarn Bee Decadence, which was available at Hobby Lobby but has been discontinued) Size seven straight needles Crochet hook or sewing needle This pattern makes a wrap that is about 14 inches wide and 52 inches long. Instructions: Cast on three stitches. Finishing: When you get down to three stitches, bind off and weave in the ends. A great way to wear this project is draped over your shoulders and held in place with a pretty pin.
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. CO 64 stitches using Judy’s Magic Cast-On, which establishes knitting in the round. Rows 1-3: *K3, P1, (K4, P1) 5 times, K3* twice. Like this: Like Loading...
