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.

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.

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 0:06:12 I have been in a dark place.  I am making my way out but it is slow.  Please be patient.

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.

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. Also, please let me know what you think.  I would love to get some feedback on this episode as well as the past few. email: carry.autumnbreeze@gmail.com ravelry: autumnbreeze ravelry forum: KnitWit:Rantings of a Rabid Knitter Forum Thanks.

Flax gives us flax seed and linseed oil as well as linen. Getting linen out of flax is a time consuming and labor intensive activity. You have to rot, dry, break, scrape, and comb the stalks to get the linen. Linen is usually spun using a distaff, which really is just an extra hand. Wet spinning produces a smoother yarn. After spun, the yarn is boiled and blocked to set the twist.

I had a brain storm and thought it would be interesting to look at some of the stories and myths of some of the common fibers we use. I will also talk about spinning the fiber and what makes it different from other fibers. In addition, a short discussion about what the fiber is good for making and what are its pros and cons. Since it is Summer here (where did Spring go?) in North Carolina, I thought I would start with cotton. I like cotton to wear and to knit with. Cotton is a challenge to spin and I am still working on mastering it. Here are the wheel and one of the spindles I use for spinning cotton. The wheel is based on the original spinning wheel designed in India (500 – 1000 AD). It is a hand cranked spindle wheel and is ideal for spinning cotton. I learned how to spin cotton from the seed around 8 years ago. It is how I imagine cotton was originally spun. You can see the seed is still in there. This will give you a yarn with more ‘character’ being more uneven. Cotton has been around forever and ever. Growing wild in the Americas, Asia, and Africa, it was spun for thousands of years. Spinning has been around for over 10,000 years using a spindle. Oldest cotton garment ever found was dated to be over 7,000 years old and was found in a cave in Mexico. I talk about the history and controversy of cotton in the Americas.

It involves some work in that you will have to knit a swatch but you were going to do that anyway. Right? You will need access to a scale that weights very small amounts. I use a postal scale. Formula 1 : TA = C * L * 3 / 2 where: TA: total area of sweater C: circumference of the sweater L: length of the sweater In words, the approximation of the total area of sweater is the circumference of your sweater times the length of your sweater time 3/2. You need to relate the area to a weight. So weight the swatch and calculate the area of your swatch length* width Formula 2: SA = k ozs, SA: swatch area. Formula 3: Y = TA * k / SA where: Y: weight of yarn needed TA: total area of sweater k: weight of swatch SA: area of swatch Yarn needed in oz is total area times weight of swatch divided by area of swatch.
