  • Vogue Knitting LIVE Launches in New York City in January
    NEW YORK, NEW YORK 6,000 Knitters and Industry “Knitterati” to Gather for New Event Vogue Knitting LIVE Launches in New York City in January. Popular Classes Already Sold Out More than 53 million people know how to knit or crochet—and the number is growing. Following the successful premier of Vogue Knitting LIVE in Los Angeles last year, Vogue Knitting magazine announces a new event at the Hilton New York January 14–16, 2012 . Knitting, an ages-old craft, is taking the world by storm. Professionals, Hollywood A-listers, and rock stars have all joined the ranks of knitters, and Ravelry, a popular social media site for stitchers, boasts close to 2 million members. Its benefits are renown: A Harvard study from 2007 concluded that knitting may be as effective as medication in reducing stress. “We know that knitters love getting together at yarn stores to learn new techniques, compare projects, and hear from top designers. We’ve simply taken that to the next level by creating the largest live gathering of knitters in New York,” says Trisha Malcolm, editor of Vogue Knitting and originator of Vogue Knitting LIVE. Vogue Knitting LIVE caters to knitters at all levels—from the knit-curious to experienced designers and crafters. In 2012, knitters can expect: • More than 75 how-to sessions, some of which are already sold out. Topics like “An Overture to Estonian Lace” and “Working with Antique and Vintage Knitting Patterns” bring 200-year old techniques to new generations. Other sessions such as “Happy Hat Knitting” and “Sock Innovation” focus on specific types of projects.

For this aim jersey and interlock fabrics were produced from 100% cotton ring and compact yarns. Some of the fabrics produced were dyed. The abrasion resistance and pilling performance of raw and dyed fabrics were measured. The results obtained were classified according to the knit construction, whether the fabric was raw or dyed, and the properties of the yarn from which the fabric was produced. According to the results obtained, the abrasion resistance and pilling performance of interlock fabrics were found to be higher than those of jersey fabrics, those of dyed fabrics higher than those of raw fabrics, and those of fabrics produced from compact yarns were higher than those fabrics produced from ring yarns. Key words: abrasion resistance, compact yarn, pilling, weft knitted fabric.

  • Warp and Weft Knitting | Knitting | Basic Knitted Fabrics
    Weft vs. Warp Knitting Weft Warp Weft knitting. Weft knitting uses one continuous yarn to form courses, or rows of loops, across a fabric. There are three fundamental stitches in weft knitting: plain-knit, purl and rib. On a machine, the individual yarn is fed to one or more needles at a time. Weft knitting machines can produce both flat and circular fabric. Circular machines produce mainly yardage but may also produce sweater bodies, pantyhose and socks. Flatbed machines knit full garments and operate at much slower speeds. The simplest, most common filling knit fabric is single jersey. Double knits are made on machines with two sets of needles. All hosiery is produced as a filling knit process. Warp Knitting. Warp knitting represents the fastest method of producing fabric from yarns. Warp knitting differs from weft knitting in that each needle loops its own thread. The needles produce parallel rows of loops simultaneously that are interlocked in a zigzag pattern. Fabric is produced in sheet or flat form using one or more sets of warp yarns. The yarns are fed from warp beams to a row of needles extending across the width of the machine (Figure 9b). Two common types of warp knitting machines are the Tricot and Raschel machines. Raschel machines are useful because they can process all yarn types in all forms (filament, staple, combed, carded, etc.). Warp knitting can also be used to make pile fabrics often used for upholstery. Back Knitting To form a fabric by the intermeshing of loops of yam. wale course Wen €hitting Loops are formed by needles knitting the yam across the width Each weft thread is fed at right angles to the direction of fabric formation.

  • Basic Knitted Fabrics
    Chapter 1 BASIC KNITTED FABRICS In this chapter, we’ll convert written-out instructions to charts, watching the charts grow symbol by symbol. We’re just doing an overview at this point, getting our feet a bit wet as to how charts are just a pictorial representation of knitting instructions. As much as possible, please don’t start thinking about the actual mechanics of how we construct knitting charts, whether on paper or in the computer. Those details will be covered at length in later chapters. Let’s Start at the Beginning The first two stitches we all learn are knit and purl, so we’ll start with them. In this book, knit stitches will be represented with k and purl stitches will be represented with p The First Rules of Knitting Charts Since this book will show charts constructed stitch by stitch and row by row, there are a few basic rules that we have to discuss immediately. Charting Rules Charts show all rows as they will appear when looked at from the public side of the piece, the side that would show if we were wearing a sweater.1 Each row of the chart represents one row of knitting. 1 Public side is a clearer term than right side, because right side could refer to the part of a sweater (especially a cardigan front) on the wearer’s right. Right side could also refer to the right edge of a knitted item or chart. The other side, including the inside of a sweater, is therefore the private side.

  • Taking Back the Knit: Creating Communities Via Needlecraft
    taking back the knit: creating communities via needlecraft submitted by betsy greer in partial requirement for the degree of m.a. in culture, globalisation and the city, goldsmiths college, university of london, 2004. table of contents. introduction 1 reasons to knit 6 a stitch in time: a brief history of knitting 11 where has our community gone? 16 research: the pitfalls and the joys of self-selection 21 it’s about connection 27 craft as a subversive/feminist act? 31 conclusion 35 works sited 39 works consulted 42 appendix a: a knitting questionnaire 43 2 Craft is everywhere. -Cynthia Rowley introduction “I’m doing my dissertation on knitting.” “Knitting?” “Yes, knitting. It’s punk rock, you know.” In brief, that is what the majority of my conversations have been like these days. The open astonishment by others that I could be exhibiting a year’s worth of knowledge in a Master’s level course via an extended essay on knitting was at first a bit disheartening. For awhile, I thought that maybe I should be writing about something more erudite about Weber or Marx or at least something with more syllables. But through research, I began to unearth a wealth of information about not only the history of knitting, but about communities, personal revolutions, activism, ethnography, creativity and feminism. All of a sudden it didn’t seem so funny. It has been said that public interest in knitting is cyclical; that the craft goes in and out of fashion, and has done since the invention of yarn. I do not argue with this observation, however, as although knitting has been a craft that has returned to the forefront every so often, there was always an underlying reason as to why, mainly resurgences were caused surrounding times of war.

STITCHING TOGETHER: AN EXPLORATION OF WOMEN’S SOCIALITY THROUGH AN URBAN KNITTING GROUP by GILLIAN BARBARA RULAND Under the Direction of Kathryn A. Kozaitis ABSTRACT The phenomenon of knitting groups is an increasingly widespread trend in urban settings. In this thesis, I argue that the resurgence of knitting groups in contemporary urban areas is the result of a nostalgic search for a sense of community within an otherwise complex and sometimes alienating urban landscape. Through ethnographic research in Atlanta, GA, I examine how women knitters whom I interviewed theorize their own interactions in the knitting community and the ways in which technology serves to facilitate these interactions. With lives revolving mainly around family and careers, the women who join knitting groups seek an escape from everyday life, friendship without strings, and the communal gathering focused around a leisure activity which holds social significance in daily life.
