It has been a busy summer with lots of travel. While I usually don't mind travel, I've done enough at this point that I think I get one victory point for every day in August in which I do not move my car. I am ecstatic to be sleeping in my own bed, working on my own projects, and having time to share my most recent discoveries. One of these discoveries is an interesting maneuver and stitch pattern. It started when I saw my mother wearing a commercial sweater with this pattern: Non-knitters probably don't notice anything about it, but knitters may notice the pattern is symmetrical. Not a big deal, you might think. Think again! There are a number of ways to make a fabric with holes on the half drop. Most of them are not 100% satisfying. In the examples below, odd-numbered rows are always right side. Swatch #1: Multiple of 2 stitches. Row 1: alternate yo, k2tog. Row 2: p all. Row 3. alternate k2tog, yo. Row 4. p all. Repeat these 4 rows for pattern. This does produce a mesh. If you look closely at Swatch #1, you'll notice the zig-zags of yarn alternate thick and thin. It is possible to make a mesh similar to this in which the decreases stack to create horizontal lines moving across the fabric. In either case, the fabric has thick and thin areas — thin corresponding to yarn overs and thick corresponding to decreases. You may think the solution is to use a centered double decrease (ddec) — a 3-into-1 decrease such as slip 2 together knitwise, knit 1, pass the 2 slipped stitches over. Swatch #2: Multiple of 3 stitches. Row 1: yo, (alternate ddec, double yo), end with ddec, cast-on 1 {replaces a yo}. Row 2: p2, (alternate [k1, p1] in double yo, p1), end with p1 in single yo. Row 3: k all. Row 4: p all. Row 5: k1, yo, (alternate ddec, double yo), end with k2tog. Row 6: p1, (alternate [k1, p1] in double yo, p1), end with p1 in single yo, p1. Row 7: k all. Row 8: p all. Repeat these 8 rows for pattern. Here the problem is that the 3-into-1 decrease means you've lost 2 stitches not 1. To keep your stitch count constant, you'll need two yarn overs for every centered double-decrease — yo, ddec, yo. When you line these up next to each other, it mean you have to work double yarn overs — yo, ddec, yo, yo, ddec, yo. On the wrong side row, you have to make two stitches from the double yarn over, usually by knitting and purling into the giant hole. The combination of knit and purl in the yarn over will create a bump near the top of the hole, slightly disrupting its shape. Furthermore, it is hard to stack a yarn over directly above a centered double decrease. If you look closely at Swatch #2, you'll notice the subtle asymmetry in the pattern, as that central wale must go either left or right to go around the hole directly above it. Another way of thinking about it; since there are two stitches coming out of the hole but the decrease is over three stitches, the double decrease can not be centered on top of the double yarn over. Would a promising alternative be to substitute ssk and k2tog for the ddec, so as to allow the wales to split and travel around the hole? Swatches #3 and #4 seem to be moving closer to a solution. There are two choices. Swatch #3 Multiple of 4 stitches. Row 1: yo, (k2tog, ssk, double yo) across, end with k2tog, ssk, cast-on 1 {replaces a yo}. Row 2: p1, (p2, [k1, p1] in double yo) across, end with p2, p1 in single yo. Row 3: k all. Row 4: p all. Row 5: ssk, (double yo, k2tog, ssk) across, end double yo, k2tog. Row 6: p1, ([k1, p1] in double yo, p2) across, end [k1, p1] in double yo, p1. Row 7: k all. Row 8: p all. Repeat these 8 rows for pattern. Swatch #4 Multiple of 4 stitches. Row 1: yo, (ssk, k2tog, double yo) across, end with ssk, k2tog, cast-on 1 {replaces a yo}. Row 2: p1, (p2, [k1, p1] in double yo) across, end with p2, p1 in single yo. Row 3: k all. Row 4: p all. Row 5: k2tog, (double yo, ssk, k2tog) across, end double yo, ssk. Row 6: p1, ([k1, p1] in double yo, p2) across, end [k1, p1] in double yo, p1. Row 7: k all. Row 8: p all. Repeat these 8 rows for pattern. In either case, the 4-into-2 paired decrease allows the wales to snake around the holes. The double yarn over problem is still not solved, as you can still see a slight asymmetry along the top of the double yarn overs. After looking at these, it becomes even clearer why the swatch at top is exceptional. I set out to replicate it and, after a few tries, here is what I discovered. The key to the flat, symmetrical swatch is the decrease is not 3-into-1 or 4-into-2 but rather 3-into-2. This seems wrong until you actually knit it. The 3-into-2 decrease means you've lost 1 stitch not 2. Thus, the double yarn over problem does not occur. The trick is in devising a symmetrical 3-into-2 decrease. Fortunately, I had for reference my mother's commercial sweater with just such a decrease! Swatch A Over a multiple of 3 stitches. Row 1: (alternate 3→2, yo) across, end with 3→2. Row 2: p all. (Should be one stitch fewer than cast on.) Row 3: k all. Row 4: p all. Row 5: k1, (alternate yo, 3→2) across, end with yo, k1. (Stitch count restored.) Row 6: p all. Row 7: k all. Row 8: p all. Repeat these 8 rows for pattern. Version A: Special maneuver: 3 into 2 decrease: 3→2. Theory: Work a k2tog and an SSK over 3 stitches rather than 4. The central stitch of the group of 3 is involved in both maneuvers and lies on top of the group. Practice: Work a k2tog but do not drop the old stitches off the left needle. Drop the back stitch of the pair off the left needle but not the top stitch. SSK the two stitches on the left needle. (One stitch is the held stitch from the k2tog and the other stitch is the 3rd stitch of the original group of three.) Swatch B Over a multiple of 3 stitches. Row 1: (alternate 3→2 version B, yo) across, end with 3→2. Row 2: p all. (Should be one stitch fewer than cast on.) Row 3: k all. Row 4: p all. Row 5: k1, (alternate yo, 3→2 version B) across, end with yo, k1. (Stitch count restored.) Row 6: p all. Row 7: k all. Row 8: p all. Repeat these 8 rows for pattern. Version B: Special maneuver: 3 into 2 decrease trough: 3⇾2 Theory: Work an SSK and a k2tog over 3 stitches rather than 4. The central stitch of the group of 3 is involved in both maneuvers and lies behind the group. Practice: Work an SSK but do not drop the old stitches off the left needle. Drop the top stitch of the pair off the left needle but not the back stitch. Reorient the back stitch by slipping and returning. K2tog the two stitches on the left needle. (One stitch is the held stitch from the ssk and the other stitch is the 3rd stitch of the original group of three.) For version B, use this alternative 3 into 2 decrease on Rows 1 & 5. After working Swatches A and B, I decided to try more open variations by leaving out two of the three plain rows. I must admit I am very pleased with the results! More mesh-like version of Swatch A. Work rows 1, 2, 5, & 6 of Version A (central stitch on top). More mesh-like version of Swatch B. Work rows 1, 2, 5, & 6 of Version B (central stitch beneath). The video shows both versions of how to work the 3-into-2 decrease. Enjoy!

The Copenhagen Cardigan is worked flat back and forth from the top down with raglan increases on a circular needle. The neckline is shaped using short rows. The cardigan is worked in stockinette stitch, while rib front plackets are worked along the front edges at the same time. Afterthought pockets are worked from stitches that are picked up along the fronts of the cardigan. The sleeves are worked in the round in stockinette stitch either on double-pointed needles or on a long circular needle using the Magic Loop technique. Size guide The Copenhagen Cardigan is designed to have approx. 6 cm [2¼ inches] of positive ease. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm [31½-33½ (33½-35½) 35½-37½ (37½-39½) 39¼-43¼ (43¼-47¼) 47¼-51¼ (51¼-55) 55-59 inches]. The measurements for the finished cardigan are listed on the front page of the pattern. Measure yourself before starting your project, to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 90 cm [35½ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body) you should knit a size S. A size S cardigan has a bust circumference of 95 cm [37½ inches] which in the given example would give you 5 cm [2 inches] of positive ease.

I've been so enjoying knitting the cotton cloths I posted the other week, I wanted to see what else I could knit as gifts. When I googled knitted scrubbies, I found a pattern for The Tribble. I had a go at one, then also checked out what other knitters had done with The Tribble. After playing around with a few of the suggestions, I settled back on the original Tribble pattern, however, I count the number of rows needed for each one rather than measuring each time. I wanted to clarify a couple of the terms used in the pattern and found Knitting Help easy to use, not only clear instructions but helpful video links as well. As you can see, I've already knitted up quite a few, they are quick & easy, I've made a couple each night & feeling rather pleased I am on track with my Christmas gifts ahead of schedule! I use 5mm needles, cast on 18 stitches & knit 50 rows. I like to knit into the back for the first row to give a neat edge to my work. Make sure to leave the long threads as suggested in The Tribble pattern to use for sewing up. I cast off so that the threads are on the same side of the knitted piece. After the first couple, I found I preferred to run a thread round the edge of each side & gather up the scrubbie then sew round again for strength before ending thread off. These would also be ideal for removing make up or washing your face as the cotton is so soft. I am considering trying some in acrylic for that 'scrubbie' effect for dirty dishes. Here's a few photos of my knitting & construction. Knitted piece 18 stitches, 50 rows, ends to stitch up on same side Stitching up the ends Run thread round edge stitches Gather up other edge Secure threads & knot off Flatten out finished scrubbie (tribble)

Hallo allemaal, Het ging hier niet helemaal goed. Ik kreeg net van iemand te horen dat er een foutje in het patroon van het bloemetje stond. Toen ik dit ging verbeteren, kwam het bericht ineens weer als een nieuw bericht te voorschijn. Ik laat het maar zo, anders ben ik het hele bericht straks kwijt. Dus hierbij nog een keer de zakjes. Omdat er veel belangstelling was voor het geurzakje, heb ik het patroontje voor jullie uitgeschreven. Ik had het zelf nagemaakt van een bestaand zakje, ik had er dus geen patroon van. Ik hoop dat het zo duidelijk is. Als jullie er niet uitkomen, dan hoor ik het wel. Gehaakt met haaknaald 1.75 is het zakje ongeveer 9 bij 12 cm. Verklarende woorden: hv = halve vaste hstk= half stokje ls = losse vs = vaste stk = stokje st = steek tr = toer Het zakje wordt in de rondte gehaakt. Elke toer wordt begonnen met 3 lossen of 1 losse. Dit vervangt steeds het eerste stokje of eerste vaste. Elke toer wordt gesloten met een halve vaste op de derde losse van het begin van de toer of op de eerste losse. Dit wordt verder niet meer in het patroon beschreven. Zet 63 ls op en sluit de tr met een hv in de eerste ls. Tr1: Haak 63 stk. Tr2: Haak 63 stk. Tr3: Haak 63 stk. Tr4: 3 stk in 1stk, 2 stk overslaan. Tr5: ga met hv naar de eerste tussenruimte. 1 stk, 2ls, 1 stk tussen stk-groep vorige tr. Tr6: 1 stk, 2ls, 1 stk in de ruimte van de ls van de vorige tr. Tr7: 3 stk in de 2ls ruimte van de vorige tr. Tr8: 63 stk Tr9: 63 stk Tr10: Als tr 4 Tr11: Ga met hv naar middelste stk van de groep. 3 stk in het middelste stk van de groep Tr12 t/m 15: 63 stk Tr16: 1vs, 1vs, 4ls, 2 stk overslaan. (Ik heb 1 keer 1 vs gehaakt, anders komt het niet uit) Tr17: Ga met hv naar het midden van de 4ls boog. 1vs in de boog, 1vs in dezelfde boog, 4ls. Tr 18: 64 stk = 4 stk in elke boog. Tr19: 1 stk, 3 ls, 1 stk overslaan. Tr20: Ga met 1 hv naar het midden van de boog, 1 vs in de boog, 5 stk in volgende boog. Even de onderkant dichtnaaien en een koordje door toer 16. Bloemetje: 4 ls sluiten tot een ring. Tr1: 1 v in de boog, 3 ls. Zorg dat er 6 boogjes komen. Tr2: in elk boogje: 1vs, 1 ls, 3 stk, 1 ls, 1 vs. Tr3: (het werk niet keren) 1 hv in vs tr 1, 2ls. zorg weer dat er 6 boogjes komen. Tr4: in elk boogje: 1 vs, 1hstk, 1 vs. Eventueel afwerken met wat kraaltjes. Vullen met (geraspte) zeep of lavendel. Voor dikkere katoen en een dikkere naald uiteraard het stekenaantal aanpassen. Het moet deelbaar zijn door 3. En ook wat minder toeren met stokjes haken. Succes! Ik zou het leuk vinden als je me laat weten als je het zakje gemaakt hebt. Groeten van Corrie.
Heute möchte ich euch bei schaeresteipapier zeigen, was bei mir alles aus mit den Fingern stricken entstanden ist. Es sind 4 Schals entstanden. Zwei davon (6m - Länge) zusammengenäht mit 3 Reihen nebeneinander. Der Schal hat sich leider immer wieder gedreht beim zusammennähen. Ich muss mich auch dringend wieder kundig machen, wie man Wolle verstätet. Den dritten Schal habe ich 4x gewickelt und einfach zusammengebunden. Die Wolle ist übrigens von Manor (maddison Vero) und ist genau richtig für grobmaschige Winterschals. 1 Knäuel reicht für einen dieser Schals. Am besten gefällt mir der vierte Schal. Er hat eine Länge von 170cm und an beiden Enden habe ich Ohrringe befestigt. Diese habe ich etwa vor einem Monat im H&M entdeckt. Falls ihr und eure Kinder auch am Fingerstricken seit, wäre dass doch eine Geschenk-Idee für Mami, Gotti oder Tante zu Weihnachten oder als Zierbändel mit Christbaumkugel an's Fenster. Das neueste Strickprojekt ist die MEGA-Stricklisl aus einer leeren WC-Rolle und 6 Glacéstengel aus Holz. Mal überlegen, was wir draus machen können. Geplant ist auch noch eine MEGA-MEGA-stricklisl mit abgeschnittener Chipsröhre für Pulswärmer (Amedisli). Aber ich habe zuwenig Glacéstengel und jetzt ist nicht gerade Saison dafür. Merci für's reinschauen und ich freue mich immer über einen Kommentar und zeigt mir doch eure Fingerstrick-Projekte, bin neugierig!
