One of my crafting goals that I set for myself way back at the beginning of the year was to learn how to spin. I had used a spindle on and off for a while, and felt that it was finally time to step it up a notch and try spinning with a wheel. It took a few bumpy starts, but once I got the feel for it I knew that I was completely hooked. I've been spinning up yarn faster than I can use it, and have gotten quite the ever-expanding fiber collection already! However, the one thing I have noticed is that I am still in the learning process for spinning with a specific weight of yarn in mind. So far, I have been spinning away, happy to see how the fiber twists up and plies together - all with no specific end goals or projects in mind. But for now, I am left with many skeins of yarn ranging from light sport all the way up through super bulky. So far, I've found myself spinning from 4oz. batts and rovings, which means that my finished product is going to be a single one-of-a-kind skein. This makes it tricky when it comes to using up my handspun yarn. I don't want to fuss with too many gauge swatches to find out what weight of yarn I have, since it is already a limited quantity. This is when I turned to wraps per inch as a tool to help me gauge my yarn!
A few months back, I posted a very popular video called how to knit faster. In it, I show you how to knit using the continental method. If you haven't seen it, go watch it. You'll learn how to knit co

This cool pattern is free with your purchase of Plump Superchunky yarn for this pattern by Mrs Moon! Just let us know in the Notes section of your order and we will email you the pattern. Hunky Dory is a two-colour brioche knit with a very sloppy fit and fabulous voluminous sleeves. It’s knitted from the top down in the round and comes in sizes S through to XXL. It’s knitted on 12mm needles so although it sounds as though it could be a heavy knit it’s actually incredibly light and squishy. The pattern includes videos on how to set up the brioche, the brioche increases and decreases (at the cuff). If you’ve never done two colour brioche before, it really isn’t difficult and you can certainly give it a first go with this jumper but it’s probably not for a total beginner! The jumper is a very loose fit. We’d really recommend checking out the different size measurements if you want a closer fitting garment or are considering sizing up. We’ve had lots of positive feedback about this sweater already. It uses two colours of Plump Superchunky. Shown here in Lemon Curd & Pavlova and Malt Loaf & Gooseberry Fool. Feel free to make your own combos, or check out our kits with our recommended combos here! You will need: Plump Superchunky: Main colour (shown in Lemon Curd): 4 (5, 5, 6, 6) Contrast colour (shown in Pavlova): 3 (4, 4, 5, 5) 12mm circular needles (60cm and longer as required) 10mm circular needles or dpns for neck and cuffs. Scraps of yarn for stitch holders and stitch markers Gauge: 6.5sts and 8.5 rows to 10cm (4”) in pattern. Sizes: S (M, L, XL, XXL) Finished garment measurements: Size Chest Circ. Length Small 135cm (53") 42.5cm (16 ½") Medium 147cm (58") 47cm (18 ½") Large 160cm (63") 51.5cm (20 ¼") X-Large 172cm (67") 56cm (22") XX-Large 178cm (70") 56cm (22")

Every neckline should be as tidy as the one on the right. Unfortunately, most are written like the one on the left. Since I can't travel to every corner of the world to teach this in my European Finishing class, I'm posting instructions for the Proper Cocoknits Neckline for every knitter to use and enjoy If you are leaving your neckline raw, these techniques are a must. Even if you are picking up stitches to finish the neckline, look how much easier picking up stitches will be around the neckline of the sample to the right. I have worked this sample in Stockinette stitch but the technique works just as well when working in stitch patterns. These Cocoknits patterns use this technique; Leonie, Nieve, and Veronika.

Pure silky softness glides through your fingers as you knit this one-ball beauty! A very pretty lace pattern that only uses basic decreases and yarn overs evolves nicely as it runs the length of the scarf. The placement of the decreases and eyelets form curves that evoke the loveliness of an ornate chalice. A few stiches in Garter stitch along both edges give them a subtle and neat finish. Knit this highly-giftable scarf in any of the many kid mohair/silk blends of lace-weight yarns (see materials section for yarn options). An amazing stash-buster! PLEASE TAKE TIME TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE as the required yardage is based on this gauge. These yarns are good subs too, but have slightly less yardage per ball, so you might need 2 balls or can shorted the scarf a little: Madil Yarns Kid Seta (230 yds/210 m per ball), Garnstudio DROPS Kid-silk (218 yds/199 m per ball), Debbie Bliss Angel (219 yds/200 m per ball).

NB: This pattern is in English (Pattern is also available in English, French, German, Swedish and Danish on my profile) Here's a digital pattern for the most fluffy, colorful and soft mohair cardigan! The cardigan is knitted from the bottom up using double thread. Along the way, you divide it into back piece, right front piece, and left front piece. These are knitted separately to the same length before using mattress stitch to sew the shoulders together. Then, you pick up stitches for the sleeves on each side. The cardigan will be quite friendly for beginners. With YouTube, you will be able to learn ribbing, mattress stitch, and picking up stitches.
