Knitability News Knitability News Volume 2; Fall 2003 Knitability’s Fall 2003 Line Released Once again, Stitches Midwest marked the launch of our new Fall line. This season we released a number of new designs including two new Fitability custom fit patterns, three new entrelac designs and two new sock patterns. In addition, we added several new color combinations for our popular Felted Entrelac Knapsack kits and added several new colors to our line of hand-dyed yarns. Our new custom fit pattern line, Fitability , was a huge hit at this show attracting women of all shapes and sizes – including what the industry might call “average”. In some cases, custom fit also included some custom designing like long sleeves instead of short or waist length instead of hip. The moral of the story is….if you see a Fitability pattern that looks “close” to what you want, give us a call, we might be able to customize the style as well as the fit!!! Two of our new entrelac designs are garments with the third being an accessory. The Chill Chaser is the next in the evolution of the original Seamless Entrelac design. This zippered jacket features “built-in” kangaroo style pockets and integrated hood – all done with the look of seamless entrelac. The other garment is a unisex, winter vest in three sizes: S-M, L-XL, XXL. This super warm and practically water resistant vest knits up quick in our Express yarn and then is felted for extra durability and warmth. The sample was made for Gwen’s husband who just loves his vest because it is “sturdy”!! As requested, we have developed the first two in a series of slouch sock designs featuring our new sock yarns, Passion Feet and Splashing Feet . No surprise to most, the first design features entrelac around the ankle. The second design features a fun little stitch called puff rib. Both patterns are fun to knit and can utilize either of our sock yarns. The item, however, that we are most excited about was designed by one of our Sales Representatives, Jeanne Abel. She has developed the next project for those of you who loved the Felted Entrelac Knapsack – the Felted Entrelac Purse! This wonderful bag utilizes several unique construction techniques, but like the knapsack is worked in the round to avoid seams. We have several versions available. The main pattern is called Three Bags Fulled , as the purse can be made up into three different sizes. We have also modified the base design by adding beads, Glitz and Mist and created the Evening Bag . Each option is available as a pattern or a complete kit including yarn, custom color sheet, pattern and nifty spring purse closure all in a great project case. When you have a moment, browse through our web site and see what is new. We are in the process of modifying our content, so new things will be showing up on a regular basis. And don’t forget to look at our events calendar each month. We update the calendar at the beginning of each month and Sales Representatives throughout the country have events in their area listed – one might be close to you. Also, if you are attending Stitches East in October, don’t forget to come by and say hello. We will be at booth #443 and Gwen will be teaching two classes. We hope to see you all there!!

  • Rug Buying Guide Find the Perfect Rug for Any Space
    Rug Buying Guide Find the perfect rug for any space. Learn more about rug construction, sizes, material, style, and care. The right rug can do more than just help define a space. It can protect your floors from wear and tear while adding to a visually appealing aesthetic with its colors and patterns. However, purchasing a rug is no easy task. You must consider your lifestyle, placement of the rug, design of the rug, and what you will need from a rug. We’ve compiled the ultimate guide to help you find the exact rug that will fulfill the needs of your space. Rug Weaves The weave of a rug can determine the feel, look, and durability overtime. Although rugs can now be made more efficiently, there are still many craftsmen who tediously weave rugs by hand. Hand-Knotted Hand-knotted rugs are very labor intensive with lasting results. They are very durable and can last for over 20 years with minimal shedding. The most common fiber used is wool. Because hand-knotted rugs are very labor intensive to create, they can take on average 5-7 months to be completed, sometimes even longer. The time and labor put into creating a hand-knotted rug does make it considerably pricier than other. Weavers will begin by hand tying knots onto warps before tying tufts of wool around the warp creating knots. The end of knots create the pile. Wefts are then threaded through in order to tighten the knots. This creates the foundation of the rug. The more knots per inch, the more intricate the pattern, and usually the more durable the knots will be.

  • Patterns Inspired by the Tallgrass Prairie
    From the book Patterns Inspired by the Tallgrass Prairie THE PRESERVE SHAWL The Preserve, a triangle shawl named for the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve in Kansas, is a tribute to an animal that was once hunted almost to extinction. Thanks to ranchers, caretakers at the Preserve outside of Cottonwood Falls, Kansas, and flint stones just below the surface of the ground that made mechanized agriculture impossible, the buffalo here still have a home on the range. Hike the paths at the Preserve, spot some buffalo across the rise, and you’re aware that the Tallgrass Prairie doesn’t take your breath away, rather it gives you a chance to catch it. The largest portion of this shawl depicts the horns flanking wide -set eyes, followed by a wide expanse of one of the big five nutritional grasses – Sideoats Grama. The applied edging repres ents the rolling terrain of the Flint Hills. Materials Yarn: Buffalo Wool Company Earth Lace Yarn (2 skeins) Alternate Yarn: Lost City Knits Lost City Silk (1 skein) Jamieson & Smith 2 Ply Lace (6 balls) Yardage: 1000 yards / 914 meters Color Shown in Sample: Natural bison brown Needle Size: US 5 / 3.75 mm Finished Size: 72 inches / 183 cm wide at wingspan 36 inches / 91 cm at center spine ©2020 Lost City Knits, LLC. 1 | P a g e The Preserve Shawl Design by Denise Bell BASIC INSTRUCTIONS This shawl is a basic triangle shawl worked from the top down on a stockinette-based fabric using a lush fiber. The first 3 and last 3 stitches are not charted; they are always knit to create a garter stitch edging.
