ever wondered where the phrase "spinning a yarn" came from? knitting is a very cultural experience. . . altho a lot of people knit by themselves, it doesn't have to be a lonely pastime lots of people knit with their friends! for me knitting is an absolute pleasure - every stitch is a delight. . . it's like picking a beautiful jewel and threading it onto a necklace of other sparkling gems; like writing a story - whether it's a short story, a novel, a love poem, a tale to tell to keep the winter chill at bay; like taking a favourite walk thru familiar woods and fields, or a new direction thru unknown pastures; a swim in the ozoned-waved ocean, or wading in a gently - almost still, but not quite - flowing river, or diving into a deep deep pool) (you get the idea?) . my favourite yarn is Japanese: Noro, cardings of wool*/silk/a mix of fibres (*there are many many different sorts of wool, a little like wine) are hand dyed and then spun into threads which change colour gently and subtly if not with each stitch then with each row or every few rows. . . I'm using this book for the pattern I am currently knitting (the cardigan on the front) (which, of course, I'm not following exactly - as I'm using a different yarn, in a different set of colourway shades) (it's also a finer yarn - which means different needles, smaller ones - which mean a different number of stitches, more per row of width and inch of length*) (and I'm not knitting the rib [variations of "knit one-pearl one" on one row and then "pearl one-knit one" on the reverse], I knitted the sleeves a little longer as I am just using stocking stitch ["one row knit, the following row pearl" - the "knit" row is the front side] as I like the way it rolls at the cast-on edge) (*see, knitting is very mathematical) (which makes it intellectually challenging**) (**not to me of course, I am good at math) (ha ha ha) anyhoo. . . let's look again at the beauty of the Noro yarn (see, the thing about loving knitting is that you have to use a yarn you totally adore, so that every stitch is a delight. . . if you knit with baby blue or sunshine yellow acrylic it's never going to make you happy, now is it?) . (I'd rather save up and buy a pricier yarn to knit one item, than purchase cheap yarn and knit yards of itchy scarf) . (but that's just me) . *HAPPY SIGH* . so - that's about it for knitting! (unless you have any questions?) . anyone fancy a bobble hat for xmas then. . . (not that I waste yarn on bobbles, you understand) . I have threatened my three with something knitted for their stockings. . . (The Teen has a fear of evil penguins!) . and for myself? something from this book perhaps. . . (-; still don't fancy knitting? there's always voodoo. . . . *evil cackle*

There’s a question. Probably the single most popular question readers ask me. Where do I find inspiration? The question actually frightens me. It makes me want to tear at my hair and run out of the room screaming. I’m only half-kidding. See the problem is this: I do not know what inspires me. I haven’t looked into...Read More »

Schon im Sommer fand ich im Internet einen Beitrag über Spinnwolle von Malabrigo. Als totaler Freund der herrlichen Malabrigo - Wolle hatte ich nur einen Gedanken - die will ich haben. Nach Anfrage bei Victoria, leider die negative Antwort - sorry, im Moment in Europa noch nicht erhältlich!! Aber dann gings doch relativ rasch - der langen Rede kurzer Sinn: Es gibt jetzt Malabrigo Nubes im Wollladen.!!!! Ich habe den Sonntag genutzt um die ersten Spinnversuche zu starten. Wie erwartet sind die Kammzüge total weich und sehr gut spinnbar. Die Farben ganz im Malabrigo-Stil - einfach pure Freude am Spinnrad. Die Kammzüge haben ca. 4 oz, also in etwas 113 g und kosten € 11,50, im Moment stehen 8 Farben zur Auswahl.

Detta är ett tryckt mönster på svenska. Mönstret skickas endast om du samtidigt handlar minst 2 nystan garn. Vi förbehåller oss rätten att annullera ordrar som inte uppfyller detta. Friday Slipover V-neck stickas uppifrån och ner i pärlresår. Först stickas ryggstycket, därefter de två axelpartierna och till sist bålen. Längs V-ringningen och ärmhålen stickas det till sist resårkanter. Halsens resårkant stickas med dekorativa minskningar mitt fram. Gör ett stickprov innan du börjar. Notera, att pärlresår töjer sig vid tvätt/användning. Du kan därför räkna med, att stickfastheten innan tvätt/användning ska vara omkring 24-25 m per 10 cm, och att den efter tvätt/användning ger med sig till 22 m per 10 cm. Det är väsentligt för axelbredden och passformen, att stickfastheten hålls. Tvätta därför stickprovet, innan du mäter stickfastheten. Storleksguide Friday Slipover V-neck bör ha en rörelsevidd (positive ease) på ca 6 cm i förhållande till ditt bystmått. Storlekarna XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL motsvarar ett bystmått på 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-50 cm. Mät dig själv, innan du börjar sticka, för att avgöra vilken storlek som passar dig bäst. Om du t.ex. mäter 90 cm runt bysten (eller det bredaste stället på din kropp), bör du sticka en stl S, som har övervidden 96 cm. Storlekar: XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL Slipoverns mått: Övervidd: 91 (96) 100 (105) 115 (125) 135 (145) 155 cm Ryggbredd överst inkl. resårkant: 36 (36) 37 (40) 42 (42,5) 43,5 (43,5) 45,5 cm Djup på ärmhål: 24 (24) 26 (28) 28 (30) 31 (31) 31 cm Längd: 53 (55) 56 (58) 60 (61) 63 (65) 66 cm mätt mitt bak inkl. resårkant i halsen Stickfasthet: 22 maskor x 34 varv i pärlresår på stickor 4 mm = 10 x 10 cm efter tvätt och blockning Stickförslag: Rundsticka 4 mm (60 och 80 eller 100 cm), rundsticka 3,5 mm (40 och 80 eller 100 cm) Material: 150 (150) 150 (150) 200 (200) 200 (200-250) 250 g Sunday från Sandnes Garn (50 g = 235 m) tillsammans med 75 (75) 75 (75) 100 (100) 100 (125) 125-150 g Tynn Silk Mohair från Sandnes Garn (25 g = 212 m) eller Silk Mohair från Isager (25 g = 212 m) Svårighetsgrad: ★ ★ ★ (3 av 5).
