Here in this temperate clime, what better use for thick wool than a cozy that will keep your wine cool at the beach? These wine cozies turned out to be fast, fabulous gifts that'll keep your white wine cool and your red wine cozy. You'll need some Lamb's Pride Bulky, or other wooly yarn that'll knit to the same approximate guage. This is a good project for using up scraps, too. The charcoal gray cozy pictured here is made with a double strand of Lamb's Pride Worsted, but it felted up to a thinner fabric in the end product than the bulky - still perfectly fine, though. Choose your own color scheme - I had in mind the balmy days of, oh, November of aught-six here in San Diego, but any others will be just lovely, I'm sure. Yarn: Lamb's Pride Bulky - partial skeins in as many colors as you want. Needles: Size 13 dp, or size to give you proper guage Gauge: 2.5 sts/in (approximately - not critical!) With your main color, cast on 8 sts and join for working in the round, being careful not to... See less

Departing from the norm I use a ruler to form the loops at the top of my bag. This bag can be a total flight of fancy with Crystal Palace Fizz, Splash, Deco-Ribbon, or it can be practical and as toned down as you desire.

Loop stitch: Insert right needle as if to knit, wrap yam around right needle. Holding ruler behind right needle, take yarn under, then over the ruler. Wrap right needle again as if to knit. You will then complete the loop by finishing the two wraps you formed knitwise. Hint: think "figure-8" when you wrap. 2. The loop stitch consists of wrapping the yarn around the needle just like a knit stitch, then wrapping around the CP needle holder (or ruler), going... See less

First the general idea in order to convert to a different size, different yarn, different patterning, or to hand knit. Scroll down for actual pattern by Leila in Japanese standard machine, or Passap version. Draw out a rectangle on a paper. You can make it life size if you want! Then you can lay your knitting on it as you go to see how you are doing. Measure your dog from where you want the sweater to end near his tail, to the top of his neck. Leila has a doubled over turtle neck, if you want to work that extra length into it. That's the long end of the rectangle. Now put that measurement on your paper diagram. Measure around the dogs chest behind his legs. That's the short width of the rectangle. Write that measurement on your diagram. The middle of this rectangle is the top of the dog's back. The seam will be under his neck and belly. Note: I found that I didn't have to make the sweater shorter for my boy dog's pee area. I just didn't seam the belly on the last section before his pee...

A perfect way to learn to cable! If you know how to knit and purl, you can make this beautiful Throw. Just work the stitches carefully for each row, working the cable according to the directions in the Cable Stitch Explanations. Basically, a cable is nothing more than moving stitches so that they change places with other stitches. To move stitches, just slip the indicated number of stitches off your left needle and onto a cable needle. Allow the cable needle to hang from your knitting with the stitches on it while you work stitches from your left needle. Then, following the specific row directions, work the stitches from the cable needle. See less
