She was also great about pointing out some key functions that make pattern writing easier. I especially appreciate the concept of making everything possible a formula off of key numbers so if you change those numbers everything else changes along with it (more on that in a minute). I started by making a very detailed spreadsheet with over 150 rows that calculated each and every major number for the pattern. I started this as part of the Indie Designer GAL on Ravelry, but realized after Christmas I couldn’t finish it by the deadline and that its long rows of garter were so great as a knitting group project. The handout included a chart for us to practice our increases and decreases and shortly after the class I got some Malabrigo Rios in Black and Jupiter and started the chart as a scarf. I’ve got about five inches of the back completed and I’m getting faster.
Addi Flexi Flip needles I got at Vogue Knitting Live in Seattle. Sadly, when working back and forth for short rows, that means one tip is going to be blunt and the other sharp if you’ve be orienting the needles the same way each time. However, if yours has been gathering dust or you were thinking of buying one, now’s the time to bring it back out or go get the one you’ve had your eye on as they’re most definitely in. It has a great teardrop texture on the front and a more striped but still interesting texture on the back. Repeat with 7 or 8 more strings of beads to make the pouch's fringe. Five sizes from XS to XL, fitted with waist shaping, and including some border lace with a six stitch repeat. I also have a hat pattern in three sizes, but again, that was just a matter of changing the circumference and aligning it with the pattern repeat. Many patterned stitches use both needle tips to manipulate the yarn, and again, I find having to always have the left hand tip be my non-preferred style to be a nuisance.

My goal is to be able to walk and knit using the knitting belt, but so far, I can just meander between the kitchen and the living room. Also a top down seamless construction, so I had to calculate the sleeved cap knit in short rows. Either that, or you have to slip the stitches so that you have the pointy tip going in the right direction for both needles as you do your short rows or think ahead during the last round before the short rows.

July 30, 1864, was a breezeless, sultry day in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, a fair-sized town made up mostly, during these war years, of women, children, and old men.

I’m cutting up an old pair of jeans. I’m going to be showing you how to make a fringe purse out of an old bag and jeans. This DIY denim fringe purse is so fun and so retro, and can go with just about anything if you try hard enough. For the fastest speed on the leg and foot of a sock, I like using a very small eight or nine inch circular because there’s no needle changes at all, but the small circulars have very short needle lengths and they can fatigue my hands more quickly than DPNs. If you have denim fabric, then you don’t have to worry about this step.
