  • 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.

  • WHAT to DO with THAT GLORIOUS FLUFF from Yarn to Product Source: Doe Arnot, New Zealand Alpaca; April 2006
    WHAT TO DO WITH THAT GLORIOUS FLUFF From Yarn to Product Source: Doe Arnot, New Zealand Alpaca; April 2006 In the sequence of production, if fibre is a raw product, so too, is the yarn. It has the potential for being used in a myriad of finished products. Whether having fibre manufactured commercially into yarn or processing it yourself on a small scale, the same question arises. What sort of yarn do I need to make from my fibre? This is probably a back to front dilemma, as it is the finished product that dictates the parameters of the raw materials selected and the whole processing question. Commercially choice may be limited by machine capability, spinability of the fibre and market requirements. If you are looking to add $$’s to your fib re crop you will need to do a fair amount of research and development yourself. This could begin with a general look at imported yarns and their uses. The South American manufacture of alpaca yarn and products has a long history from cottage industry to commercial processing and may be a good place to begin. Of course hand-spun, kettle dyed alpaca yarns are still a viable industry in the Andean Indian community. Test some commercial alpaca yarns to find out what qualities you will be wanting in your own processed yarn. I have divided yarn types by basic yarn use categories. These do overlap to a certain extent, as knitting yarns can be woven, machine knitting yarns can be doubled and trebled for hand-knitting etc. Just as not all alpaca fibre is equal, the same applies to yarns.
