  • 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.

Traveling Stitches: Origins of Fair Isle Knitting Deborah Pulliam Box 667, Castine ME 04421 207 326 9582 [email protected] The tradition of Fair Isle knitting seems to have been emerged too well developed to have actually started in the islands north of Scotland. This paper suggests a source in the Baltic region of Eastern Europe. Like much of the “history” of knitting, much published information on the history of Fair Isle-type knitting is folklore. The long-standing story is that a ship, El Gran Grifon, from the Spanish Armada, was wrecked on Fair Isle in 1588. The 17 households on the island took the sailors in. That much is true, and documented. The knitting story is that, in return, the Spaniards taught the islanders the brightly colored patterned knitting now known as Fair Isle. Not surprisingly, there appears to have been no multi-colored knitting tradition in Spain in the sixteenth century.

  • 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.

The aim has been, there- fore, to present the subject matter in a form sufficiently simple and interesting to be grasped readily by the high school student, without sacrificing essential facts. It has not seemed desirable to explain in detail the mechanism of the various machines used in modern textile industries, but rather to show the student that the fundamental principles of textile manufacture found in the simple machines of primitive times are unchanged in the highl}^ developed and complicated machinerj^ of to-day. Minor emphasis has been given to certain necessarily technical paragraphs by printing these in type of a smaller size than that used for the body of the text.

  • Knitting – Bias Dish Cloth
    SOUTH CAROLINA FAMILY AND COMMUNITY LEADERS Affiliated with National Volunteer Outreach Network, Country Women’s Council, U.S.A., Associated Country Women of the World and in partnership with Clemson University Cooperative Extension Service SCFCL website: http://www.scfcl.com Leader Training Guide Knitting - Bias Dish Cloth Objectives: Participants will learn some of the basics of knitting and the history of knitting. Lesson Overview/Introduction: Instructor needs to be a knitter with equipment to teach the lessons. Materials needed: Large knitting needles for each member 100% cotton yarn Lesson: History of knitting The work “knitting” came from an old English word, cnyttn, which means “to know”. With limited information on the history of knitting, we cannot pinpoint the time of its origin. It is thought to be older than other handcrafts. It is believed to be connected to the ancient skill of knotting fishing nets. The Victoria and Albert Museum displays socks from 300-400. According to the museum, they were knitted in stocking stitch using three-ply, wool, and a single needle technique. Two-needle knitting is believed to have come from Egypt in the 11th century where more socks were found. In 1589, the knitting machine was invented. The early knitting needles were made of bone, ivory or tortoise shell. KNITTING TOOLS Scissors: Keep a small pair of scissors or shears handy for cutting yarn, trimming pompoms, etc. Be sure to keep scissors in a case for safety. Tapestry Needle: A blunt-pointed tapestry needle is used for sewing seams. A straight, steel needle is best. Some tapestry needles have a “hump” around the eye.

It is a history that comprises more than a series of chronological events which illustrate the development of a domestic craft industry; it is also the story of a landscape and the people who inhabited it and the story of the emergence of a distinctive textile product which achieved global recognition Focusing on the material culture of Shetland lace opens up questions about the relationships between the women who produce it, the men and women who sell it and the women who consume and wear it.
