FREE GUIDE to Fixing Knitting Mistakes for All Knitters FREE GUIDE to Fixing Knitting Mistakes for All Knitters FREE GUIDE TO Fixing Knitting Mistakes for all Knitters FREE GUIDE TO Fixing Knitting Mistakes for all Knitters I’VE OFTEN SEEN KNITTERS WHO MAKE A MISTAKE IN THEIR KNITTING and don’t know how to fix it. They inevitably end up putting their project aside and either starting another one, or taking a break from knitting altogether, until they can learn how to fix their mistakes. I want you to be able to keep on knitting, so I decided to put together an eBook with some common fixes that every knitter should know how to do. I hope you find this helpful!

These are things you probably have in your knitting bag already, but review the list just to make sure. • Crochet hooks. Get hooks in various sizes, at least E, F, G, and H. You’ll use crochet hooks to pick up dropped stitches, ladder down to fix a problem stitch, and put stitches back on the needle if they fall off. • Stitch markers. Have interlocking stitch markers handy. You can use them to hold dropped stitches, hold two or three stitches of a mis-crossed cable, and so forth. • Tapestry needles. You’ll use this to thread stitches onto waste yarn, string lifelines, tug misshapen stitches into shape, and more. • Waste yarn. I like mercerized cotton because it’s smooth, which makes it easy to put stitches on and take them off. • Small Double Pointed Needles. You’ll use these to hold stitches and knit up from mistakes that you ladder down to. ©F+W Media, Inc. | All rights reserved | F+W Media grants permission for any or all pages in this issue to be copied for personal use | www.knittingdaily.com 3 Free Guide To Fixing Knitting Mistakes for all Knitters Fixing Basic Mistakes LADDERING DOWN TO FIX A STITCH Vertical Fixes for between tip of the crochet hook and Stitch Mistakes the hanging stitch (Figure 6).

  • 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.
