Needles in the Haymarkethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17942627001292331258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1289068989756636123.post-29141904053844514782014-12-01T06:49:00.002-08:002014-12-01T06:49:48.540-08:00The Holiday Knitting Race is On!How many out there have finished their holiday projects? As usual, I'm way behind (maybe running a yarn shop has something to do with it?). I had a plan this year, really I did, and then at Turkey Day (2013), my MIL mentioned that she's always cold. Then I glanced at my holiday copy of "Knit Simple" (2013), saw the garter stitch sweater on the cover and figured " perfect gift! Oh, this should be easy"......and cast on Saturday night, November 30th.<br />
<br />
Normally, I can choose(guess) the correct size to knit without any trouble. So I cast on, and fortunately, due to traffic whilst returning youngest son back to school, had a good four hours of knitting time. Back of sweater just flew off the needles. Then I looked at it and kept debating if it would really be the correct size. I actually checked the gauge (off by 2 stitches and 2 rows.) I asked opinions at the shop, had several customers who were of a similar size let me hold it up. I decided to start a front panel and make it the next size up. The devil on my shoulder tried to tell me I could block and make it fit. The angel on the other shoulder told me to start over, now before it gets any closer to the holiday. After about ten rows, the devil and angel on my shoulders agreed and said "give it up!" So, I frogged the front, recast going up a sweater size and needle size. So far, so good. <br />
<br />
Now the problem is that this is a self-striping yarn, with good color runs, but I remembered that MIL, who is/was an amazing sewer, is also a perfectionist, so I really should try to match the colors. (I promise the next time I plan a sweater, I will really think this through before starting.) It became apparent that with the back being wider, the stripes would be more narrow (notice, they never show you the back of the sweater in the magazine). So, of course, the front panel has a wider stripe...<br />
<br />
I have already wound off yarn from the existing balls to keep the color changes together, and have several small balls in the knitting bag. Since I have to frog the back anyway, my plan is to use to balls and widen the stripes on the back, so that they will more closely match the front.<br />
<br />
So here we are, Turkey Day, 2014 and the sweater is closer to being finished. The only problem? I worked on it a bit here and there over the last year, and usually, I'm very good about keeping the pattern with the project, (which was living in the dining room). Lo and behold, the pattern has gone AWOL. I have managed to track down another copy, so this may actually work.<br />
<br />
On another note, I posted in January a picture of a sock made with Raggi. It wasn't until a few days later that I realized, that <i>I forgot to turn the heel!</i> No way would this sock fit the son it was knitted for. I knitted the second sock with another modification, which son said fit better, so since I was already partially frogging the sock, I frogged all the way back and started the first one over. Problem: I need the end of the ball to finish the toe. Big problem: Can't find the end of either ball. I never get rid of sock yarn ends (may have to darn one some day). I'm convinced the yarn shop gnomes have followed me home and are having fun at my expense.<br />
<br />
And so, the holiday knitting race is really on!<br />

My family decided I really am in need of a break (especially after middle son's wedding). So northern Michigan bound we are! <br />
Since no one lets me drive on trips anymore, I figured I could get a lot of knitting done. First project up: socks for my just graduated high school niece. Socks were knitted using <a href="http://www.cascadeyarns.com/cascade-fixation.asp">Cascade Fixation</a> in "Arizona Sunset". Congrats, Becca A!<br />

<br />
I have a tendency when packing for vacation to think I will start and finish more projects than humanly possible. (Hey, it might rain or be a crappy day on the lake...) My family is placing bets as to how many items I might actually finish. Since I'm not sure how many I brought, I can't say how much yarn came with me (hey, I left the spinning wheel home this time!).<br />
<br />
I will leave you with another finished project, (I had to weave in the ends). Entrelac Scarf, made in <a href="https://www.plymouthyarn.com/yarn/gina-item-631#colorcards">Gina #16</a>. (It's a much better photo op up here at the lake.)<br />

Needles in the Haymarkethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17942627001292331258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1289068989756636123.post-7627754307695612372014-06-22T07:39:00.002-07:002014-06-22T07:39:22.071-07:00Summer ReadingWith Summer upon us, (and my next project not quite ready for prime time post...) I thought I'd mention some fun authors and titles that deal with knitting, spinning, crochet, and needlework. Some (at least for me) were quick reads, but humorous all the same. I should mention, all are mysteries.<br />
<br />
Author: <b>Sally Goldenbaum</b> The Seaside Knitters Series. The series starts with <b>"Death by Cashmere" </b>and has eight books so far. I would like to be invited to the Friday night deck dinner.<br />
<br />
Author: <b> Amanda Lee</b> The heroine owns a thread shop in a small town in the Pacific Northwest. The series starts with "<b>The Quick and The Thread"</b>. <br />
<br />
Author: <b> Mary Canadeo</b> The Black Sheep Mysteries. Knit shop set in New England, the first in the series is<b> "While My Pretty One Knits."</b> (Honest, the yarn shops in my area are <i>much</i> friendlier with each other.<br />
<br />
Author: <b> Monica Ferris</b> Set in Excelsior, Minnesota, the series starts with"<b> "Crewel World"</b>. I will tell you that "Crewel Yule" is a wonderful description (without the murder) of the TNNA Nashville Market that I attend in late winter.<br />
<br />
Author:<b> Maggie Sefton</b> The Kelly Flynn series starts with <b>"Knit One, Kill Two"</b>. Good story lines, but sometimes the attempt at conversational language can be frustrating.<br />
<br />
Author: <b>Molly MacRae </b>The Haunted Yarn Shop Series I just discovered these books recently. I couldn't put them down, partly because of how much they made me laugh. What could be more fun than a cat that came from nowhere and a ghost that watches too much TV?<br />
<br />
Author: <b>Barbara Bretton</b> Starts with <b>"Casting Spells" </b>and is the story of a witch who hasn't developed her full powers, but owns a fiber shop in a town that looks like a miniature Salem. I love the never ending basket of roving. This series kept me laughing but also on the edge of my seat with the struggle between good and evil.<br />
<br />
Author: <b>Betty Hechtman</b> The titles of the first two books say it all <b>"Hooked on Murder" </b>and <b>"Dead Men Don't Crochet". </b>Enter the world of Molly Pink and the Tarzana Hookers, for laughter, romance and murderous mayhem.<br />
<br />
Most of these books include a pattern and usually a recipe for a food that is mentioned.<br />
<br />
Happy reading and enjoy the vacations!<br />Needles in the Haymarkethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17942627001292331258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1289068989756636123.post-43994278993686689502014-06-16T05:10:00.001-07:002014-06-16T05:10:46.164-07:00The Knitting Gods Are Not AmusedHave you ever fallen in love with a pattern by one company and a yarn by another? Think they'll work great together? Well, here is my story......<br />
<br />
I've been looking for a project to use <a href="http://www.berroco.com/yarns/berroco-maya">Berroco Maya</a>, a lovely yarn that is a blend of Pima Cotton and Alpaca. I'm also in love with the "Sunny Tee" pattern from <a href="http://knitonecrochettoo.shptron.com/p/2014-sunny-tee/patterns_nautika?pp=30">Knit One Crochet Too</a>, which calls for <a href="http://www.knitonecrochettoo.com/nautika.htm">Nautika</a> yarn, which is Microfiber and Nylon. I've seen both yarns knitted and love them both. Both recommend a size 8 needle. Great, this should work.<br />
<br />
So, I started the back of Sunny Tee with the Maya. I finished it fairly quickly with no problems. It's a two piece, basic summer top with simple yarn overs and increases and decreases.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMskkY2O1D9BuKP_ir6HjtL9kM3QV8vsQcE1eAmbAETmrl0TDMEq6aldOFE1ZxiBqYKPC8ue2aQd1gsQd1HkxOfr7ItPT5zAxCDKnPt53ABYs0L9n38v5S6Tfnc6bXTMBqXQoy9R0sbHam/s1600/615+003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMskkY2O1D9BuKP_ir6HjtL9kM3QV8vsQcE1eAmbAETmrl0TDMEq6aldOFE1ZxiBqYKPC8ue2aQd1gsQd1HkxOfr7ItPT5zAxCDKnPt53ABYs0L9n38v5S6Tfnc6bXTMBqXQoy9R0sbHam/s1600/615+003.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
I should be done in no time, right! Well apparently the Knitting Gods were not amused. Keep in mind, this pattern is knit identically back and front until the scoop neck for the front. I did the increases and decreases, had stitches on the holder for the front neck, get up to where I should be ready to stitch the first shoulder, and behold! Three stitches short on the right shoulder. (I missed the last increase at the beginning of a row.) Okay, frog it back, add the stitches, re-knit. Three needle bind-off on left shoulder. Oh wait it should have been the <i>actual</i> left shoulder, not the one on my left......Take out, bind-off the correct shoulder. Pick up stitches for neck edge, wait there's an extra live stitch on the front. Adjust and pick up one less. Knit neck edge. Knit armhole edges. Mattress stitch first side. Now, other shoulder seam. Wait, why am I missing two inches of neck edging and why does the front have a weird section of yarn hanging? Somehow, my ends undid themselves and unraveled. So, frog back to original neck decreases, re-knit to shoulder again.<br />
<br />
Time to knit neck edge again. Exact number of live stitches on front(?????) Knit, start to bind-off, run out of yarn six stitches from end. Deep breath, do not throw project out of car window on DC Beltway. Try again, this time success. <br />
<br />
Four days later, bind-off second shoulder. Pack project and yarn to take to work to finish. Arrive at work, no project. Must be on the table at home. Come home to find, that no, it fell out of the bag on the way to the car. Fortunately, dogs did not eat it. Ignore project again for two days, put in bag to take on Friday. Arrive at shop, pull out sweater, no ball of yarn to finish it in bag.<br />
<br />
Finished project. It knit up beautifully in the Maya.<br />
<br />

<br />
I like the top so much, I'm making another. But to appease the Knitting Gods, I'm using Nautika on this one.....Needles in the Haymarkethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17942627001292331258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1289068989756636123.post-31436764363947852792014-01-20T09:03:00.000-08:002014-01-20T09:03:13.715-08:00StartitisIt's been awhile since I've blogged. I promised myself that for the new year, I would not start a new project until I finished a previous one (no matter how many new shop models we need!). I was doing okay, as I'm still finishing Christmas presents that have now become birthday presents. But then, we got a new to us yarn in the mail.<br />
<br />
Raggi Sock Yarn from Jarbo!<br />
<br />
I had heard about this wonderous sock yarn from customers and when I found the rep who sold it, ordered some. I am absolutely in love with the yarn!<br />
<br />
Having males in the family with large feet, I learned early on in my sock knitting adventures that boot socks made with worsted weight yarn is the way to go. (Otherwise, with regular sock yarn on a size 3 needle, I will be in the black hole of knitting* for weeks at a time.) Raggi is made to be knit on size 7-8 needles!<br />
<br />
I cast on the first sock Friday evening, and finished it on Sunday. Keep in mind this son has size 12 feet and likes his boot socks to be extra tall. At this rate, the second sock should be done before his birthday on Sunday. <br />

It's A Secret!As you can see, I've been cross stitching with a vengeance! This is a secret though, and I have to make three for graduation gifts (2 college, 1 high school)! I'll post a picture of the finished versions before graduation, as all 3 dear sons have to open this gift at the same time for maximum effect!<br />

<br />
I finished the alpaca capelet I started back in October. It was an easy knit, and it should have been done in about 4 evenings of watching tv. I used one skein of Plymouth's Baby Alpaca Grande Hand Dye in Variegated Neutrals and one skein of Plymouth's Baby Alpaca Ultimo in Brown. Very nice yarns to work with.<br />

I've also finished one slipper that was supposed to be a Christmas gift and have cast on the second one. This is a great pattern called Nola's Slippers (pictures when completed). It uses two strands of worsted weight, is knit flat and then seamed. Of course, I had to start making them using a chunky weight. It's a lot harder on my hands this way, but the men in the family love the end result. (Guess oldest DS will get these for graduation.)<br />
<br />
I attended the Nashville Needlework Market in early March. This is where shop owners go to meet designers and vendors and see what's new in the Needlepoint and Cross Stitch world. While I am capable of performing both these crafts, it's been a while since I did any serious stitching, I was totally enthralled with the beauty of the creations at Market.<br />
<br />
I was inspired to make a model for the shop though. Unfortunately, it will be better for next Easter, but here it is: Alleluia! from <a href="http://handblessings.com/index.html">Handblessings</a>. Stitched on 14ct Navy Aida, using DMC Floss #462..<br />

Now, for the newly started projects....since I have to attend three graduations this spring/summer, I decided I wanted to make some lightweight tops. I've been really anxious to try two patterns from Cabin Fever, "Lace Checks" and "Checkmate Cardigan". The great thing about both of these patterns is that they are knit in one piece with <i>no sewing when finished! </i>(Okay, I still had to weave in the ends and sew a little tiny join under each arm.) The Lace Checks shell is knit in the round and you finish the armholes as you go! I've been know to get very bored knitting a top in the round, but the choice of yarn has made this project a delight to knit. I used <a href="http://www.langyarns.com/index.php?nav=7,34,66&prod_id=239">Lang "Moina"</a> a viscose/polyamide/silk blend and it has a wonderful drape and feel. This pattern would work well in any number of yarns, and I'm really considering making it again in a linen blend or pima cotton. Now, if can I finish the cardigan by next week, I'll be ready for the first ceremony.<br />

One way is to buy an already felted item, and using bits of colored fiber and a <i> really</i> fun needle, one can create a pattern or design. The other way is to knit or crochet an item using 100% wool in a size much larger than what the finished product will be, and then shrink it. Actually, it's the agitation of the fiber that causes it to shrink and become a firm fabric.<br />
<br />
Shrinking the project is the fun part. If you are still the owner of a top-loading washing machine, you have the best method. Front loaders will work, but the problem is I felted my last bag this way about 3 years ago and have no idea how I did it.<br />
<br />
I started a new bag awhile ago. Instead of knitting though, this one is crocheted. The pattern is "The Nomad Bag" from Noni Designs. I really wanted to try felted crochet. Making the bag itself wasn't too difficult. Before the felting process started, this is how it looked:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hopefully, the detail of the zipper flap is visible.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Since I wasn't sure about the front loader I tried the "dryer method". This involves soaking the project in boiling water for 10 minutes, then putting it in the dryer with something to help agitate the wool. I prefer my middle son's old, full of holes jeans, but I hear tennis balls work well. It took one large stock pot and two tea kettles of water in the kitchen sink to cover the bag. (Use tongs to manipulate, the bag got <i>very</i> hot.)<br />
I then put the bag in a towel and threw it in the dryer with the jeans for 10 minutes at time. <br />
<br />
After about 40 minutes of felting, I concluded it wasn't reducing in size enough, so back to the sink for another ten minute soak.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv6D3KUoGQNnF3q6XZW94ediyPCKfZrqjLz3YPIl1ZEHfE7FaAFoDa_eE4szeYMkSskz-fo7-rxhsQJSOU9S_yA-W8ck3FEW6C-IR-_Ydl0yZuU3MMfQdB2RVStbDIOiLtqv_bplWCKntR/s1600/feb13+010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv6D3KUoGQNnF3q6XZW94ediyPCKfZrqjLz3YPIl1ZEHfE7FaAFoDa_eE4szeYMkSskz-fo7-rxhsQJSOU9S_yA-W8ck3FEW6C-IR-_Ydl0yZuU3MMfQdB2RVStbDIOiLtqv_bplWCKntR/s320/feb13+010.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Back to dryer and more ten minute increments (at least three). It's very important to check the project because it is possible to felt it too small. Since I was seeing progress, I let it go for a straight 20 minutes in the dryer and voila! it was finally the correct size.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I see yarns and sometimes think this would make a great_______! And other times I think this is great but what would I do with it or what would this pattern really look like? I also sell lots of yarn but don't always know what becomes of it, so I'm always thrilled when customers bring a finished project for me to see.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, a very lovely lady brought in her finished Lucy Neatby Ikat Garter Scarf. The best part is that she tried a new yarn in the shop called <a href="https://www.plymouthyarn.com/yarn/gina-item-631#2514">Gina</a>, from Plymouth Yarns. To say the least, it is a beautiful and amazing scarf. The colors striped a very pleasing pattern and she enjoyed it so much, she's making another one and has several friends who decided to try it in other colorways.<br />

<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">If you are a spinner, or have ever been interested in spinning, January 7th is officially St. Distaff's Day. After reading the description, I zeroed in on the line about "women resumed their household work"... Seriously, which household work were they talking about? I don't believe for a minute that the women didn't continue to cook and clean up (or red up from where I come from) after their families for 12 days after Christmas. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">I discovered while wrapping Christmas presents on Christmas Eve (yes, I am that much of a procrastinator) that I had purchased Stephanie Pearl-McPhee's latest book <u>All Wound Up</u> while on vacation (along with two t-shirts that I'm not sure who was supposed to get them for Xmas). If you are unfamiliar with this author, she goes by the self-proclaimed name, "Yarn Harlot", has written a series of wonderful knitting themed books and has a fantastic blog at <a href="http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog">http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog</a>/. (Yes, she is my idol and if you read nothing else, her book<u> Knitting Rules</u>! is great for reference and humor.) </span></span><span style="font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"> I finally got to start reading several days after Christmas, and in the first chapter, she broached the subject of sitting and knitting while waiting for an appointment, and a non-knitter making the comment of "I wish I had time to knit." If you knit/crochet/spin in public, you are bound to hear this type of comment.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">Going back to St. Distaff's Day, knitting was once considered part of the chores and if Mom didn't knit, there were no warm pieces of attire to wear. Clothing items were also mended, handed down, if fabric, re-hemmed, cut and redesigned. These crafts were considered to be a part of daily life. When did the ability to take time and craft become a luxury? Everyone has the same 24 hours every day. I guess it's how you personally choose to use it. To me a luxury of time is being an adult and playing video games on the computer or x-box. I admit, when I started working in a yarn shop and ultimately became the owner, I didn't seem to have as much time to do personal knitting, but have since learned to reach a reasonable balance (unfortuately, the yarn gnomes that live in the shop don't knit samples, they just throw yarn off the shelves when I'm not looking...)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">I used to knit during sports practices, and music lessons, but lost that time when sons' could drive themselves. I still knit while waiting for appointments and during wrestling tournaments (which, alas, ends this year). I truly don't see the time I spend knitting as a luxury, I see it as time well spent in a productive endeavor. To me it's not a waste of time. I see the fruits of my labor every winter when husband and sons go to do outdoor chores in very cold weather and thank me for the very warm hats and socks I have knit for them. I see the appreciation in the smile of a recipient of handmade gift, and that makes it worth while. If nothing else, I won't wish I had the time to knit, but I will make the time to knit.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">Happy New Year everyone, and now I shall go try to figure out who was to get those two t-shirts.......</span></span><br />
