  • From Nordic Lands
    DUPLICATION PROHIBITED by copyright holder CABLE KNITS KNITS CABLE SWEDISH KNITTING phenom Ivar Asplund learned how to work cabling from his CABLE KNITS grandmother and was smitten right away—such marvelously intricate designs, and yet at their heart the underlying principles were so simple. A few stitches FROM NORDIC LANDS trading places here and there, and suddenly flowing braids, interwoven figures of eight, or classic x-and-o Beauty and Ingenuity in Over 20 Unique Patterns patterns came to life before his eyes. FROM NORDIC LANDS FROM NORDIC In this compelling collection, Asplund invites knitters to join him in exploring the possibilities, combining his grandmother’s well-loved lessons in classic and time-tested cable knitting techniques with the elegant simplicity of contemporary Scandinavian design. You’ll find over 20 projects, ranging from sweaters, cardigans, and ponchos to scarves, wrist warmers, and hats—for children and adults—that offer an attractive balance of historic and modern elements, as well as superior fit. Step-by-step pattern instructions guide novice cablers through straightforward reversible projects and eye-catching cable repeats; veterans can test their skills on larger, more complex garments with multiple cable panels; and a tutorial section explains the fundamentals of working and combining cables in any design to achieve a variety of striking effects. IVAR ASPLUND is a skilled knitting instructor and workshop ASPLUND leader, in addition to working in a yarn store. He’s loved handcrafting and clothing design as long as he can remember; he learned how to knit when he was five years old, and completed his first knitted garment in middle school— $24.95 USD ISBN: 9781570769290 without a pattern.

  • The Wool Season Is Upon Us! Moving Into Cooler Weather for Me, I Think of Happily Getting out My Lopi Sweater
    October 2014 - January 2015 www.yarnharborduluth.com shop notes The wool season is upon us! Moving into cooler weather for me, I think of happily getting out my Lopi sweater. I love Lopi! The depth of the colors, the traditional yoke, and the colorful designs blow me away. It’s more often than not that when I’m in the Lopi section of the shop, I find myself wanting to start another sweater. Icelandic wool is light weight, so it’s a great choice for a long jacket style sweater. We will be having a trunk show in January with not only the traditional bulky sweaters, it will also feature shawls and garments made from the lace weight, Einband. I have been eyeing this yarn since I ordered it for the shop and haven’t yet taken the plunge. I’m not a huge lace knitter, so here is the chance to see if we all can be inspired by this beautiful yarn! We have another great line-up of trunk shows scheduled. Keeping it local in shop hours October with Allison Barta’s Irish Cable Knitting, this show will feature her Aran monday 12 - 8 knits including a traditional Aran cardigan, poncho, and slippers. In November, tuesday 10 - 5 we will be featuring a yarn tasting with Stephenie from Northern Woolen Mills wednesday 10 - 5 to get a hand sampling of their unique local blends. Some of the fibers include thursday 10 - 7 sheep, alpaca, bison, and llama from farmers and ranchers from neighboring friday 10 - 5 states. saturday 10 - 5 sunday 12 - 5 More inspiring yarns from hand dyers..

  • Bunny Rabbit Cable Knitting Pattern by Picturehealer.Com
    Bunny Rabbit Cable Knitting Pattern by Picturehealer.com This is a cute bunny rabbit motif with cable for a more 3 D effect. You can use it as a basic dish ​ ​ cloth, adding the pattern in a scarf, blanket, sweater, pocket or any project you like. This pattern is knitted back and forth (not in the round), and written row by row for easy following. The background is the purl stitch so the cable stitch stands out more. It is knitted over 18 stitches and 24 rows. You can adjust it by adding or reducing background rows and stitches. In my example, I add a crocheted border and wet block it (wash with water and air dry) to make the fabric flat. Material: Yarn and needle size - Gauge depends on your project. Make a swatch to see the best ​ ​ yarn weight and needle size that fits your project. Since cable stitch produces a tighter fabric, a bigger size needle than recommended will make knitting easier. Cable needle - The cable needle should approximately matches your knitting needle size. It ​ ​ does not have to be exact size of your knitting needle. There are several different styles of cable needles on the market. It’s just personal preference. You can also use a smaller crochet hook as a cable needle to hold the yarn temporarily. Note on the cable stitch - There are left and right leaning cable stitches depending on the ​ ​ yarn left in front or back of fabric. If the pattern says Cable < slip 1 stitch to CN (cable needle), leave it to the back,...
