Alternatively, divide one 87- gauge) yard skein into two matching balls, ensuring the yarn colors will line up when knit with two Measuring tape strands held together. Tapestry needle Uses about 87 yards (5 oz.) Cherry Candy Cane Potholder A Knitting Pattern by Liz Chandler @PurlsAndPixels Size 10 inch by 10 inch square About this Pattern This extra-thick, oversize potholder is made by doubling up strands of super bulky yarn. When using a self-striping yarn, as recommended, make sure you use a single dye lot and line up the striping colors before you begin knitting. Using two skeins from the same dye lot ensures you will have enough yarn for a complete square; however, you may try dividing one skein equally in separate balls. Shown in the color “Hudson Bay,” this quick knitting project is reminiscent of cherry candy canes. It can make a fun holiday piece, but is subdued enough to be used year-round. Gauge 7 stitches and 11 rows in stockinette = 4 inches Abbreviations k = Knit. _____________________________________________________________________________________ ©2017, Liz Chandler of PurlsAndPixels.

  • Spanish Moss Shawl
    SPANISH MOSS SHAWL Designed and woven by John Mullarkey Overview: Inspired by a gift skein of sock yarn from a friend, and enhanced by not being able to find the same dye lot, this shawl was woven with a Zoom Loom and joined with crochet. The color and drape reminded me of the Spanish moss I saw hanging in trees when I lived in East Texas. Difficulty rating: Easy weaving with crochet join Size: 70” width; short edges 50” Yarn: Dream in Color Smooshy (450yds/4 oz.), Cloud Jungle, 1 skein (MC). Dream in Color Smooshy, either a different dye lot of Cloud Jungle, or a different but analogous colorway (CC). Crochet thread, #10 (350 yards), black or coordinating color. Other notions, equipment or tools: size 6 crochet hook; tapestry or yarn needle; scissors. Weaving and Assembly: ■ Weave 56 squares using the Zoom Loom in color MC. Work in all ends as you weave. ■ Weave 22 squares in color CC. Work in all ends as you weave. Total of 78 squares woven. ■ Using the layout chart below, join the squares by crochet- ing a single crochet (sc) in each loop pair. ■ Chain (ch) 3, sc in loop pair of adjoining square using cro- chet thread. ■ Repeat above for all rows and columns of squares. ■ After all squares have been joined, crochet a border of sc in loop pair, ch 3 around. You may want to do ch 2 where cor- ners meet to tighten up the joined edges. Finishing: Hand wash in lukewarm water. Roll in a towel to remove excess water.

In knitting we have a marvelous strategy to help us solve knitting Presidents’ Letter crises: ripping. We call ripping by many names—ripping out, ripping back, frogging, unkniting—but all get us to the same place. Many knitters detest ripping, and we can understand why, sort of. We all hate to see our great effort over hours or days or even longer become nothing but a heap of yarn in just a moment or two. We had plans to finish, to share our gift with our knitting sisters, to wear our new shawl or cardigan to a special event. We had plans to start the next project in our queue. But ripping out by any name is magical. We get a “do-over.” Co-Presidents Sheila and Stacy Once the yarn is undone and rewound into a ball, we can start again with the knowledge gained from whatever snafu brought us to this place.

  • Comfort Shawl* Knitting and Crochet Instructions
    Comfort Shawl* Knitting and Crochet Instructions Before You Begin: Before you begin the knitting/crocheting process, a thought, prayer or wish can be said, dedicating the work of your hands and the intentions of the receiver. You may want to light a candle and play soft music to enhance your knitting time, remembering that this is a thoughtful time. When working in a group, you may want to pass the work-in-progress around the circle, asking each person to add some stitches to the shawl, or to just hold it for a while to add their thought, energy and good wishes. Materials: Suggested Yarns: Lion Brand Homespun – Stores: Wal-Mart, Michael’s, Jo-Anne’s, and A. C. Moore. o Warning: Be aware that the Lion Brand Homespun yarn tends to unravel when cut. Fringe will need to be knotted at its ends for a more presentable look. (Make sure all the skeins have the same dye lot numbers.) Caron’s Fascination (no dye lot) – Stores: Michael’s A.C. Moore Other Yarns: o Caron’s Fascination Lion Brand Jiffy (5-6 skeins) o Red Heart: Light-n-Lofty and Baby Clouds (size 15 needles) Note: Calm, relaxing colors are preferred for Hospice patients. Note: If the yard you have chosen has a multicolored stripe, be careful when tying on a new skein. Make sure the color sequence is correct. Also, tie on the new skein in the body of the shawl, instead of an edge, as the ends tend to show. Comfort Shawl – Knitting Pattern Knitting: Knitting Needle size 11, 13, 15 or 17 3 Skeins: 6-oz., 185 yards for 54 or 57 stitches 4 Skeins: 6-oz., 185 yards for 60 stitches Suggested Width: 24-28” Note: If you use size 11 needles and cast on 54 stitches, 3 skeins of yarn is enough.

  • Work of Our Hands 2011
    Work of Our Hands 2011 Triangles within Triangles Shawl Barb Scott Pattern source: Heartstring Fibre Arts Materials: Knit Picks Shine Sport, 60% Pima Cotton/40% Modal, colour Hollyberry. The story This shawl was made in the spring of 2011,using an online class at Needlecraft University.. This was my first lace project so instead of frustrating myself by using a lace weight or fingering weight yarn, I chose a sport weight cotton so that I could more easily see the stitches (and more easily frog them when necessary!!) and so that it would work up more quickly. Other than some issues in wrapping my brain around the chart repeats involved in knitting a top down triangular shawl, it went well and I am thrilled with the results. It took about 3 months to complete this project and I really enjoy wearing it. Transverse Noro Cardigan Lesley Melliship Designer:Anne Weaver Pattern Source: Interweave Knits, Spring 2010 Materials: Noro Kureyon The yarn was purchased with a gift certificate to my favourite yarn store from my 3 sons It took about 4 months to complete The pattern is knit side to side, which allows the Noro yarn to stripe vertically. Modifications : Made the sleeves full-length instead of 3/4 length. I wanted it to be hip length, so had to add stitches to both sides A bit of a challenge with the Noro keeping the striping in sequence - had to rip back the left front and re-knit so that when it joined the back the colours would be continuous. Found 2 great big buttons to finish it off Patchwork Shawl Rochelle Ribeiro Designer: Sabine Schopf PatternSource: Wollzauber 01/2010 Materials:Schoppel-Wolle Crazy Zauberball The story: I started with 3 balls of Zauberball crazy and then ran out of before the end so I had to get a 4th ball.
