  • 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..

  • On Your Way to the Masters: by Hand!
    On Your Way to the Masters: By Hand! By Arenda Holladay So, you’re thinking of giving the Master Hand Knitting Program a try? What’s it all about? What does it involve? How long does it take? And why would you want to do it? A Little History The Master Hand Knitting Program was announced in the Fall 1987 issue of Cast On as a way for members of The Knitting Guild Association (TKGA) to have their knitting evaluated using specific criteria and guidelines. It was designed as an educational process, not a competition or contest. Although the program has evolved over the years, at its core it hasn’t changed much. Knitters work through three levels, each building on techniques demonstrated in the previous level. Each level is completed independently, and evaluated by the Master Hand Knitting Committee, before the knitter goes to the next level. The Levels What must the knitter do in each of these levels? Reading the “On Your Way to the Masters” articles in past issues of Cast On can give you a good idea. Level I – Advanced Beginner covers knitting basics. Swatches to demonstrate garter stitch, Stockinette stitch and seed stitch are worked, as well as simple cables and yarnovers; basic increases and decreases are also part of the requirements. Level II – Intermediate builds upon skills demonstrated in Level I. The knitter works swatches of paired decreases and increases, more complicated cable stitch patterns and several lace stitch patterns. Finishing techniques, such as seams and buttonholes, as well as color work are also covered.
