Knitting Ideas For The Kitchen

when you’re working stripes in your knitting,and if you’re working with the same two or three or four – however many colors,you have the option of cutting the yarn every time you start with a new color, or if you’regoing to keep using that same color of yarn, you have another option of just carrying thatyarn up the side of your work and not having so many ends to weave in when you’re finished. which is ideal. to do that it’s the same when you’re knittingback and forth, or if you’re knitting in the round. the issues with tension and carrying the yarnup and everything else are the same.

it’s a quick little technique, it will saveyou a lot of time. let’s take a look. here i have this little knitted piece andi’m switching from yellow to purple every two rows. and i only have one yellow end and one purpleend because i’m carrying the yarn up the side of the work. now this really only works if you’re knittingfor a back and forth piece – not knitting in the round. you need to knit an even number of rows, sothat you can keep swapping things out over

on the same side of the work. you want to knit down and back, a multipleof two rows, even number. i have knit two rows in yellow, and i’mready to switch to purple. and the purple of course is already attached. before i get started, i want to intertwinethese two threads a little bit. so i’m just going to flop one yarn overthe other. because i don’t want any loose loops hangingoff the side of my work. and i’m going to put – you see what i did there? all i did was flopone yarn over the other like that.

and this is kind of important when you’redoing a two row repeat, but really much more important if you have more rows of knitting,because there is more of an option for a longer loop on the side of the work. put my needle in. wrap it with the purple yarn, and that firststitch, the tension is pretty important. if you pull it too tightly, you’ll bunchup the sides of your work, so you want to make sure you that you give the work a tugas you tighten up that stitch. and then you knit across normally. or purl, or whatever your pattern’s tellingyou to do.

the only technique here is on the side ofthe work. okay, so that’s the technique. you’ll see here that there is a tiny bitmore bulk on the side of the work, because there is one extra strand running up the side. but even knitting this flat, you can’t reallysee, you can’t really see it on the right the wrong side of the work you do see theselittle twists where i flopped one yarn over the other to keep there from being big loops. this is a great technique that will save youa ton of time from weaving in a million ends every time you change to a different colorwhen you’re working stripes.

and that’s carrying up the yarn for stripes. [music]

how to make a rose from a necktie.[you mean everything to me] hi, guys, i’m kristen and welcome to studioknit! father’s day is upon us, and i thought it would be really fun to create a twist onthe traditional necktie gift. let’s recycle old neckties from our dad or our local second–handstore and make them into these gorgeous diy fabric flowers. the materials we will use are neckties inany fabric and your color choice is totally optional, a glue gun, measuring tape, andscissors. oh, if you think this would be a fun diy projectto try, please hit like to let me know you would like to see more projects like this!

to begin, first cut off the label. with thebackside of our tie facing us, we start with the narrow tail end of the tie and measure10 inches. i’m marking it off here with a tapestry needle. we just start rolling itup tightly to create the middle of our rose, dabbing a bit of hot glue as we go along.once we reach our marker of ten inches, it is time to start making our rose petals. simplytwist your tie counter-clockwise and secure with hot glue as you go along. you’ll seethat by twisting our tie, the rose petals are formed creating little points along theway. continue rolling up and securing with glue. nearing the end, i like to make useof the decorative tipping area of our tie, which is usually a different pattern or color,to create our roses’ leaf. simply place

along the backside of our rose, glue it downso it is peeking out, and you are done.

Knitting Ideas For Dogs

hi, i’m valã©rie and my urban craft is knitting. my grandmother taught me how to knit when i was 7. she taught me the basic and the techniques. after that, my aunt opened the door to the more creative side of knitting. a more original side. en bought me books for knitting for kids. i’ve never stopped knitting since then. i use a very easy knit-stitch, but that’s how i like it. because i want to focus on something else. knitting is, according to me, the way to create something, to make, what i see in my imagination, real. then is the technique less important, but is it more about

how i will make it, the color, the shape, so easier stitches are good enough for me. i always used knitting-needles, until last year. they made the different between knitting as a craft or knitting as a profession, because knitting with needles takes more time. and last year, i got the change to buy a machine secondhand. it’s a machine that knits double jersey. they don’t sell those anymore, so i was luck to find one, in such good condition. i had the idea to make customized products, on demand and i collect everything what i make. it’s like a world, a colorful world,

a fun world, where vegetables are in contact with animals or something more serious, like letters, but where all sort of things live together. i didn’t like to say to other “it’s made by valã©rie” i had a hard time to see myself as a brand. i like being the designer behind “little emma k”. most of my products are for sale in stores. i also sell online and postorder. but i also take personal demands, like when people ask for a personalized object. when i see people opening my packages,

and the first reaction is a smile, i’m so happy. because emotions are so important for me. a smile is just so amazing for me.

Knitting Ideas For Dad

happy wheels,definitely one of my favorite games maybe of all time. what a fantastic display of digital blood, torn limbs, and mangled bodies. just [beep] brilliant. so much so that i decidedto make it into a halloween costume. this costume was actually prettyeasy to put together and only requires a couple of quick props. here's what you need:a green shirt—

i picked this one up at the thrift storeon the cheap— a pair of khaki shorts which i'll makeout of these khaki pants i also found there, a bicycle helmet—this amazing hannah montana onei picked up for only four bucks which i will totally make twerk—i mean work. you'll also need a pair of black shoes,some white socks, and a black belt, all of which i already had. get yourself a fake arm which you can pick upat any halloween store. this was probably the most expensive pieceand ran me eight bucks. also gather up some fake blood,

some red paint, some red yarn,and a pair of scissors, oh, and a bike tire if you can score one easily. this will definitely add context to the costume. first thing's first. begin distressing your outfit. you want to create that i just got intoa gnarly bike accident look but a bit more exaggerated. that could mean meticulously cuttingsmall holes in the things or frantically going bat shit crazy with your scissors,whichever you prefer. there's really no wrong way here.

i'm slipping the blade of the scissorsinto the seams of the collar and sleeves and doinga little cutting and tearing action. dragging your blade across exposed edges also helps create that classic bike wreck feel. now it's time to bloody these duds up. this is where you get some creative license, so feel free to run with the special effectsmakeup artist within. taking your food blood,create some blood-soaked patterns and designs all over your outfit.

because this fake blood went ona little darker than i would have liked, i have applied some red paint on topto brighten it up a bit. on the sleeve where i'm eventuallygoing to attach my fake arm, i'm making more bloodier than the rest. next up, this awesome helmet.after carefully removing the cover, turns out this helmet was black,nothing some white spray paint won't cure. be sure to take out to a well-ventilated areaand cover it evenly. while everything is drying,take out your fake arm. this thing is awesome but not nearlyas bloody as it needs to be.

so apply some extra bloodand red paint to your liking. once it's all dried, at the very topnear that protruding bone, you're going to wantto snip two holes on either side large enough to insert a piece of yarn through. now take out your red yarnand cut off about two feet of it. double it over and string throughthe holes in your fake arm and make a knot. create a similar pair of holes on your shirt towards the bottom of the sleeveand tie the arm onto the shirt, giving it a good six inchesof visibly hanging yarn.

all that's left is to bloody upyour white helmet a bit along with the rest of you.then just put the whole outfit together. tuck your arm into the shirt,and your costume is complete. limbless, bloody, and awesome. yeah, you'll totally have one armfor the entire evening, but [beep] it's halloween. what are you going as this year? let us know by leaving a comment below. you might even find some more cool ideas down there.who knows?

Knitting Ideas For Charity

hey! happy project for awesome today, i want to talk about knitting. knitting for tiny premature babies. in norway, we've got the amanda project, named after a little girl who lived most of her short life at a hospital in oslo the story is that her grandmother asked the doctors if there was anything she could do for her granddaughter. and the doctor said she needed clothes. hats, mittens, socks and blankets. all premature babies need warm clothes. and that's how the amanda project began. how it works is that you knit the smallest size you can find.

then you send it to the project and they distribute it to hospitals all over the country. but, ofcourse, norway isn't the only country woth a project like this. in the uk you've got bliss. wich is about the same thing it's about...oi... bliss works with the families of premature babies and sick newborns. they help both the babies and the families get whatever they need. like warm clothes. i think project linus opperates in both the uk and usa, i found an american website. stuff like this is great for people like me, who've got it in my hands, but not in my wallet. it's great doing something for someone by using my hands instead of just moving numbers around.

right now, i'm knitting a blanket. because that's the easiest whilst talking into a camera. a blanket for a premature baby, doesn't have to be biger than a sheet of a3 paper. like this. and this is a pattern for you: the gauge is 13sts for 10cm (or 4inc) for me, that's two strands of sandnesgarn's "smart" on needles 6mm (#10) cast on 40 sts, knit rows untill it measures 42cm (17inc). and cast off, but i thought that was obvious. most of these projects wants 100% wool or alpacca.

with any fibre, you'll wnat to wash your product before sending it away. that way you'll get rid of chemicals and stuff. and don't smoke and knit. that should be my new motto. "don't smoke and knit" sounds good. links to everything i've talked about is in the...thing. thanks for listening. don't forget to be awesome and... don't smoke and knit.

Knitting Ideas For Beginners

the double stockinette knit stitch pattern! hi, guys, i'm kristen and welcome to studio knit! i'm super excited to share this double stockinette stitch pattern with you. now, it has this beautiful, smooth finishand it is nice and stretchy. and guess what? on both sides it is identical, it looks like the stockinette stitch on both sides. and doing this allows our work to lie flat,which the regular stockinette stitch always does curl up. it's also a little bit thicker so it's niceand squishy.

i think this is perfect for scarves! so let's get started! we begin with our beloved slip knot and we are casting on in multiples of two. we are going to begin with knitting one. okay, now we are going to slip the next stitch. we bring our yarn in front and then as ifto purl, we just slip that stitch right off of our needle. we don't do any knitting or any purling, wejust slip it. now we're going to bring the yarn back and we're just repeating.

so we already have figured out this pattern. we are knitting one, okay, now what do we do? we bring the yarn to the front and we're simply slipping that stitch right off of our needle. really doesn't get much easier than this and it is such a cool stitch pattern. we continue to the end of our row. and here we are with the last two stitches. again, we are knitting one, bring that yarnto the front and slip it. that's it! so, let's go ahead and see what it looks like as we begin row two,

we can see the slip and the knit, it looks a little bit differentthere. and we start again. we knit one, we're going to bring that yarnto the front and we are going to slip one. and we just continue those, every single row, it's exactly the same. and just continue knitting until your pieceis the length you desire. i hope you are inspired to knit up this double stockinette knit stitch pattern. please make sure to subscribe to my channel studio knit. you can click my little icon right there onthe screen. i also have some great knit stitch patternsto follow and check me out on pinterest, i
