From Library Journal Knitting is a hands-on activity; it's one thing to read about knitting a sweater and another thing to knit one completely from sometimes cryptic patterns. First published in 1983, this book was written for knitters who have no desire to follow a pattern blindly but instead want to master the techniques necessary for sweater knitting, whether or not a pattern is available for the yarns they wish to use. Fee works the prospective knitter through a sweater sampler that includes every technique needed to master knitting seamless sweaters in the round, using any yarn and based on the measurements of the wearer. The finished sampler is a conversation piece that looks for all the world like a form-fitting pullover. This second edition features a more readable format, updated designs, and more sweaters, as well as a spiral sock pattern intended as a practice project for knitters not accustomed to knitting in the round on double-point needles. Recommended for all but the... See less

When I saw this book in my local yarn store, I began to leaf through it and within a minute knew I wanted it. It is one of those beautiful coffee table knitting books, like Knitting Across America, which make every knitting cell in your body tingle and shift into the ready-set-knit position. Still, I will only buy a book if there are at least two or three patterns or techniques in it that I do not want to miss. This book (which is a collection of favorite patterns from yarn shops across the country) has many more than three. It includes everything from a baby outfit and children's sweaters and a tea cozy to a felted bag that is unlike any of the other wonderful felted bags that have been appearing in magazines lately. There are intricate intarsia and Fair Isle sweaters, simple cardigans with easy, yet pleasing details to entice even the most accomplished knitter, a lovely pair of socks, a Celtic Cardigan, felted tropical fish (a great way to try felting, as they really do not have to...

So What is Kefir? A fermented milk drink. Where available, kefir is made with camel milk. The word "kefir" is derived from the Turkish word keif, which loosely translates to; good-feeling, feeling of well-being or feeling-good. Kefir is a refreshing probiotic cultured-milk beverage, which is believed to originate in the Northern Caucasus Mountains many centuries ago. Kefir has a uniform thick creamy consistency, a slightly sour refreshing taste, with a mild aroma of fresh yeast. Kefir also has a slight naturally carbonated effervescent "zest". Kefir's tart and refreshing flavor is similar to a drinking-style yogurt, but it contains beneficial yeast as well as friendly 'probiotic' bacteria found in yogurt. The naturally occurring bacteria and yeast in kefir combine symbiotically to give superior health benefits when consumed regularly. It is loaded with valuable vitamins and minerals and contains easily digestible complete proteins. Kefir can be made from any type of milk, cow, goat or... See less

I've had a lot of requests recently for information on building your own spinning wheel. So I thought that I'd collect everything that I could find together and put it here. I'd better say at the start that I've made spindles and a charkha but don't have either the skill, or the woodworking and metal working equipment to try to build a 'proper' wheel myself. Anyway - do you really want a spinning wheel- I spun my first jumper from a donated Jacob fleece, using a dog comb and a hand spindle - total outlay less than 5 pounds... and I could done it for even less if I'd made the spindle. (Take some dowelling, a rubber grommet and one or two of those CDs that people keep sending you in your junk mail! try here for more info http://www.spinning.net/hints/equipment/cd.html) Beware though, spindles just as are addictive as any other sort of spinning. I collect them, even if I don't find time to use them much. There's usually one sitting on my desk at work, to remind me of the spinning waiting... See less

Cast on 48 stitches. Divide between 3 or 4 needles. Note: If dividing between 3 needles, keep 2 repeats on one needle and one on each of the others. I find it best to put different ending stitches on the needles so I know where I am by which stitch I ended with. See example below. Note: If you need more stitches, add more purl stitches between the repeats. Since the pattern is a 10 stitch repeat, it is difficult to add more repeats without making the sock huge. If you need to add 11 more stitches, add a repeat. This pattern is very elastic so check it as you go and don't begin with too many stitches in the beginning. See less

Reluctant to commit to the permanence of a knuckle tattoo, but yearning to express yourself? Here is your solution. Embroider the eight-letter text that says you onto these quick-to-knit fingerless gloves and the world will know just what you stand for. Knit your Knucks from the knuckles down -- a fast knit on size four needles. Working down allows you to split the yarn into two balls and knit until the balls run out -- achieve extra-long matched-length gloves with no anxiety. Choose between a ribbed cuff with a sewn cast-off and a textured cuff with a crab stitch edging. Included are simple tutorials for both. Learn something new, yo. I've selected two Rowan yarns, Felted Tweed and Wool Cotton. Felted Tweed is amazingly light and surprisingly warm with beautiful highlights of color, while Wool Cotton is simple and cozy with a bit more weight. One ball of Felted Tweed is enough for both a woman's and a kid's set. This pattern has been tested to within an inch of its life by my knitt'n... See less

Wrap your yarn around a pencil, or ruler or any other similar object and count the number of wraps per inch. You can even make a tool with the inch marks indicated on the dowel but a ruler works great too since it's already marked off. If you're worried about pulling apart a skein you haven't purchased yet, just lift up an inch worth of strands away from the skein without disturbing the hold. In this photo I wrapped around a pencil and measured against a ruler. There are 12 wraps over one inch so my WPI is "12". Wrap somoothly, with the yarn touching but not too tight. When measuring thicker yarns it's best to do the wrapping over several inches and then divide (i.e., wrap over 3 inches and divide by 3). Once you've wrapped, calculate your number of wraps per inch (or WPI) Refer to this handy chart A (or print and keep in your wallet!). This chart is for an average adult pullover sweater.

From there you need to have a wpi guide to match your yarn to it's weight. This chart is a general guide and one that I have used for awhile. It comes from the book Handspun/Handknit shown above. #2 - Using a kniddy knoddy, take a string all the way around it and measure that string. That will give you the measurement in inches of the length of one go around. When you wrap your yarn to make a skein, count the number of times you go around then take that number and multiply by the inches you had measured the string. Done enough times, you'll... See less
