... recollection. When you knit a k2p2 tube, and you fold the tube flat, you can arrange it so that the purls of the front layer nestle into the knits on the other side, or the back layer. So, ... both are pulled through the same stitch on the row below. I continued across, adding either knits or purls as the situation warranted. When I got to the end of the row, I turned. On this row, I knitted or ...

... I had was on the reverse side...you're supposed to knit the knits and purl the purls. Sometimes, because of the slant of the stitch, I couldn't separate the knits from the purls. I unknitted everything I'd done and am going to start all over. The cables were starting to look good, but I found several errors. The ribbing looked real good. ;o) But I had ...

... and the end, but sleep deprivation is a mighty force to be reckoned with, and even orcas couldn’t wake me.  And I love whales.  Anyway, I’m using the Happy Hour pattern from Pints & Purls.  I started with a garter stitch brim and will pick up stitches for the earflaps later, much like I did for this hat. How is your competitive knitting coming along? Filed under: hat, Knitting

... wasn't matching what I was knitting, that I had very little good to say about the project. So far, I've had to drop and recross two cables, and drop and fix five stitches that should have been purls that were knits. And now I have a dropped stitch to ladder back up, and there's a cable cross in the way and ... grrr. If this were Olympic figure skating, I would be the skater who keeps ...

... 50 stitches wide. Obviously, I'm going to need to use yarn finer than worsted weight. So there's one design decision at least partially made. Now how to make those letters? Knits and purls? Probably wouldn't show up that well. Cables and twisted stitches on a purl background would be very impressive. I'm not up to pulling that off. I suppose I could do the letters with beads ...

... to take painkillers. It's just muscle aches and bruises. I'm fine. # 18:22 The Swiss beanies are funny. Got several different styles of "Suisse" knit into them with knits and purls. # 18:29 Hockeyhockeyhockey on our Swiss TV! # 18:32 @kitchenMage so they're there then? Excellent! @rihani and @saskystewart, I'm gonna find you! # 18:43 @topshelfcookies would suggest not ...

... After arriving on Whidbey Island we made our way to the town of Langley, and went to one of the many great spots there for our first latte...We parted ways for a bit and I went to Knitty Purls. This shop is small, but as you can see has many offerings of wool and hand painted yarns. Much in the way of sock yarn also, for you "sockies". I did find my Cascade 220 Heathers and they still ...

... the difference between a knit and a purl upon close inspection, then nobody is going to tell the difference upon completion. So there is one row in there that is pretty much all purls, but I'm willing to live with that. I tried to get a close up of the pattern as well, so that you could get a sense of what the thing is supposed to look like. The pictures provided with the pattern show fuzzy ...

... ;s enough. EK: BAH! Enough of this!! Plenty of folk on the Ravelry KAL casted on straight, then joined. I can do the same. And does: EK uses a long-tail cast-on doubled, knits a row, then purls a row. Now EK performs the increase row to double the stitch number to 18. Chicken that she is, she knits the next 3 rows straight, then prepares for the magic loop technique (ML). Loops out, then ...

... wobbly ladder whilst Pete perched precariously on the top swaying a bit! We threaded it through our loft through the cottage lofts down the laundry across the wood store, around the front of the garage into Purls New office. Then as we wee tiding the cable up...well as PETE was tidying the cable up, he drilled through the other cat 5 cable and we had to spend another day laying that one again... ...

... logo too!) Switching gears ... because the day after the granny class, I taught session two of my knitting class. I just loved hanging with these ladies, practicing our knits and purls. Everyone did such an awesome job. It's so much fun to see what each person in class accomplishes between the two class sessions ... some walk in with piles of finished or near-finished projects. And there&# ...

... . Cable needles. Check. The fix was easy enough, just tedious. Pick up 4 stitches 2 rows below onto a cable needle. Drop those 4 stitches down to the cable needle. Reverse the orientation of the 2 purls and 2 knits. Pick them back up. Do this 10 times. &nbsp &nbsp Here's the surgery 50% complete (with the fixed cables shown on the right): It was a success and the patient is no ...

... with a gold thread. That's the plan anyway. :) And I have a small finished project to show. This cute little soap bag was knit with some yummy cotton by Jabo, that I got from A Row of Purls Too. I must have more of this yarn!! The pattern is the Pluie Soapholder, free on the Berroco website. Another goodie that I got in the mail to come, just have to get some good photos of it.  Hope ...
