  • How to Read a Charted Knitting Pattern – Class by Tricia Ennis
    How to Read a Charted Knitting Pattern – Class by Tricia Ennis A charted knitting pattern is simply a graphic representation of a written knitting pattern. It takes less room than a written pattern and gives a visual idea of what each motif piece should look like. Think of charts as maps rather than a list of directions. Working from a chart makes is easier to see where you are in a pattern and to identify errors more quickly. Charts are always written as though you are “looking” at the front of the work. After a bit of practice, most knitters find working from charts much more intuitive, quick, and simple than working from line-by-line text instructions. Charts are written in “motifs” so the chart is repeated X number of times across the knitting row/round. Charts are normally presented with a stitch legend or key so it is not necessary to understand all the knitting symbols on a chart to use it. There are many symbols which are common across charts but, sometimes, a specific designer may use a different symbol so it is important to check the key before you start to make sure you are aware of what the symbols mean for the chart you are working. Each square on a chart represents one stitch and each square offers a visual representation of what the completed stitch looks like (for example, a blank square usually represents a k stitch which is nice and smooth, a square with a dot in it usually represents a p stitch which has a little lump at the base, a square with a circle (O) in it usually represents a yo (yarn over) which results in a hole in the work, etc.) Note that these visuals are presented as RS stitches and, in actual fact, the blank square usually means k on RS, p on WS, whereas the square with the dot usually means purl on the RS, knit on WS.

Each type of fiber has unique characteristics, and fabrics have the same characteristics as the fibers they are made from. Learning about fibers is important because it helps you understand how the fabric will perform and what care the fabric needs. Fibers can be natural or man-made. Natural fibers Natural fibers come from natural sources, such as plants and animals. There are four natural fibers: cotton, linen, silk, and wool (figure 1). These fibers are naturally absorbent and porous. This is why fabrics made from natural fibers will be comfortable to wear in a variety of temperatures. However, natural fibers will Figure 1. Cotton is an example of a also shrink if they are not handled carefully. natural fiber. Man-made fibers The term “man-made fiber” refers to all fibers not found in nature. Man-made fibers are made from a synthetic source (chemicals, such as petroleum) or a cellulose source that has been enhanced in a lab (figure 2). Man-made fibers include nylon, polyester, olefin, rayon, acetate, triacetate, spandex, and acrylic. These fibers are highly resilient, so they resist creases. However, because they are not very absorbent or porous, they may be uncomfortable in hot or humid weather. Woven, knitted, and other fabric construction Fibers or yarns made from fibers can be used in many ways to make fabrics.

  • Beth Brown Reinsel Interview
    An Interview with Beth Brown-Reinsel at EduKnit This PDF is intended to serve as a resource to go along with our interview post with Beth Brown-Reinsel, found here: http://eduknit.com/?p=2212 We hope you’ll enjoy reading the highlights from Beth’s interview! Types of Color Knitting Beth says that Intarsia isn't her favorite style of knitting, but she could do stranded knitting forever. She mentions that even though most people think of Fair Isle as the only method for color knitting, that's a misnomer. She explains that Fair Isle has a particular set of rules, such as only including two colors in each round or how many stitches you can "float" the yarn along in a row. So Fair Isle is a part of stranded knitting, but not all stranded knitting is Fair Isle. Several other types of color knitting exist - including Norwegian, Swedish, and Latvian knitting - and those often incorporate several colors in one row or round. Beth explains that "technique is technique" - and there are many ways to knit color work, using one or both hands according to the knitter's preference. Each style of stranded knitting tends to have its preferences where that is concerned. Steeking Steeking isn't just the act of cutting your knitting - it's the act of putting extra stitches into your knitting for the purpose of cutting them later. Shetland wool has many microscopic "hooks" in each fiber, which helps to hold the fibers together. So as Beth explains, you can cut Shetland wool and it won't really go anywhere, making it ideal for color work that will be steeked.
