  • This Tutorial Will Explain What a Balanced Plied Yarn Is, and H
    An HJS Studio Project: Knit Shetland Tote Bag This is another project inspired by the spinning group I belong to. They decided to make knitted totebags the group project in 2002 (see also Mitered Mitten Set, for my response to our 2004 project). One spinner provided photocopies of a pattern from a knitting magazine as a starting point. Some members of the group did exactly that bag, while others experi- mented in various ways. My bag is probably the farthest from the origi- nal pattern—they basically have just two things in common—they're handknit, and they're totebags! I hope to be able to get a photo of all the bags to put on the website at some point, but for now will have to settle for mine alone. This isn't an exact pattern, but rather a narra- tive of one process of creating an item of handspun yarn. Anyone who would like to can copy the process and come up with something similar, but I hope most readers will be inspired by the process to come up with something totally, uniquely their own. The first thing that comes to mind in dis- cussing something like this is I didn't follow the pattern. It was intarsia, I prefer fair isle; it had sections knitted back-and-forth, I prefer all circular knitting; etc. I just can't follow a pattern, no matter what! I've always been like that, even before I began to knit. A little of the 60s rebellion sunk in, though I wasn't quite yet a teen back then? Still, the pattern was inspirational.

  • Basic Fair Isle Hat
    BASIC FAIR ISLE HAT This is a new pattern for my Basic Hats collection. The heart-shaped stitches of contrasting color make this hat look so joyful! They are accomplished with the use of the fair isle technique, which might seem a bit scary and complex from the first glance. But if you start learning it from something easy - like this hat - you’ll fall in love! Chunky yarn makes this knit really fast, and two-colored design gives endless possibilities for color combination. You can adjust the pattern to another yarn, change the size or length of the finished garment, add a pompom or skip this step (if someone can actually do that!). The pattern contains links to the video tutorial that makes the process more easy to understand.
