Since I have been all about new beginnings lately, I thought we should talk about casting on.  I was rather surpriced I hadn't talked about this already... maybe I have and forgot but I couldn't find anything when I did a search. This week I cover 6 cast-ons. 1. Half Hitch 2. Long Tail 3. Knit/Purl 4. Knitted 5. Cabled 6. Crocheted(two variations) These are all cast-ons for going in one direction.  Next mod5=0, I will talk about circular and provisional cast-ons. I hope to figure out how to edit video and put some clips demostrating the different cast-ons.  Once I do that, I will link the clips for you to watch.

Carry **-------------------------------** In class, I was given a card that said the mask I wear and ask to write something.  This is what I wrote. The Masks I Wear Bleary eyes, hair eschewed from a long and lost wrestling match with sleep, I stumble down the stairs pausing for the obligatory foot pets of the cat, who lives there. Once this task is finished to her satisfaction, I plod onward to the kitchen and my goal. From the frig, I pull that elixir of wakefulness, diet coke. The first gulp burns away the last haze of sleep. Next I head to the den to finish my morning glass of caffeine and check my e-mails. I pause in the doorway. This step is the hardest. To the left is the hutch. Empty. My heart sinks. There is no welcome, no demands to be picked up and snuggled, nor searches for treats. There is only an empty cage with a ragged and wallered stuffed lamb lopsided in the corner. In silence and alone, I drink my soda and answer those e-mails that cannot wait. I read a few messages on the Bunny Lovers Forum. Giving advice where I can but mostly just reading of other peoples’ rabbits’ adventures/ Once I hear the shower turn off, I put my lap top aside and start to head up stairs. At some point, I will meet and kiss the man in the hall. Cold water on my face washes away the last of the sleep. Hot water on my back relaxes the knots. A bright shirt and comfy pants. I search for the pair of crocs that will either match or clash the best. Smile in place, head held high, shoulders back, my mask is in place. I go out to face the day. podcast Carry no no http://autumnbreezedesigns.com/blog/2010/02/17/this-moved-me/ http://autumnbreezedesigns.com/blog/2010/02/17/this-moved-me/#comments Wed, 17 Feb 2010 12:43:22 +0000 Autumn Breeze http://autumnbreezedesigns.com/blog/?p=261 http://autumnbreezedesigns.com/blog/2010/02/17/this-moved-me/feed/ 2 http://autumnbreezedesigns.com/blog/2010/02/16/knitwit-174-no-i-am-not-dead/ http://autumnbreezedesigns.com/blog/2010/02/16/knitwit-174-no-i-am-not-dead/#comments Wed, 17 Feb 2010 03:22:59 +0000 Autumn Breeze http://autumnbreezedesigns.com/blog/?p=259 http://autumnbreezedesigns.com/blog/2010/02/16/knitwit-174-no-i-am-not-dead/feed/ 4 6:12 I have been in a dark place.  I am making my way out but it is slow.  Please be patient.

First an apology.  Sorry to have been gone for so long.  Between life, fun, and illness, I just haven't had the motivation I needed to do a show.  You know I love doing the podcast.  Just haven't felt well enough to get behind the mic. Today's topic is Fair Isle or stranded knitting.  I couldn't find much information on the history of the technique. Fair Isle is a color technique that uses 2 colors on each row.  The colors are chosen from 3 palettes of color.  The color that is not worked is stranded across the back. If the strand is too long then you will want to catch the yarn. This video, which is just a random video I found, shows the technique. Video Link The garments are made in the round and the knitting is cut for the arm holes and for making a cardigan.This is referred to as steeking. I use a tubular method of picking up stitches so that the cut stitches are enclosed. Best way to try this technique of knitting is to start small. I recommend a hat or a baby sweater. I know this was a bit jumbled. I hope it makes some sense and you feel encouraged to try something new. website: autumnbreezedesigns.com email: carry.autumnbreeze@gmail.com plurk: AutumnBreeze ravelry: autumnbreeze ravelry forum: KnitWit:Rantings of a Rabid Knitter Forum Thanks.

I have had it with my insurance company.  Things are seriously messed up in this country when it comes to healthcare and insurance. The US Census Burea reported 15.8% of the population uninsured in 2008. That number is on the rise.This number does not include the people who are under insured. Even those of us who have insurance have to fight to get the coverage that we are due. The coverage we are paying increasing more for.

I start the show with some sad news.  The turtle (KnitWit:159) didn't make it.  He died last week.  They tried their best but in the end his injuries were too extensive. This week is a knitting espisode in which we continue talking about color techniques. Intarsia is a method of color knitting in which only one yarn is used at a time. There are three things you have to be able to do to inorder to do intarsia knitting. 1. Read charts. 2. Untangle yarn 3. Lock your yarns in place. There is a contraversy concerning intarsia in the round.  It can be done.  I learned how from this book: Knitting Tips & Trade Secrets. It is a great book with all kinds of wonderful information.

If you knit stripes in the round, there is a problem of a jog.  Techknitter has a great article on how to deal with this issue. People have given a lot of thought to how to make stripes look better.  One theory involves a special number: the golden ration k.  A closely related series of numbers is the Fibonacci series. Fibonacci series starts F(0) = 1, F(1) = 1, F(n) = F(n-1) +F(n-2) or in other words 1,1,2,3,5,8,13, 21, 34, ... One interesting fact is that F(n)/F(n-1) ~ k. (especially for larger n's) The theory is that by using the Fibonacci numbers as a basis for your striping pattern, your garment will be seen as more attractive. Give it a try and see what you think.

Just a short non-show to give you some updates. Damsel is over 7 lbs. Vet was real thrilled with her weight gain and how she is looking except for the tail. It still looks groody. We will have to try a sulfur treatment on it to try to clear it up. Not looking forward to that lovely smell. Sheep got sheared. I tried to get another story from Scott but he had a date with his girlfriend. I understand priorities. He said maybe next year.

I would love to get together with you. I want to arrange a get-together time for Saturday late afternoon. When will work for you?
