26-12-2017: German Translation is available. Color splash is a nice everyday sweater, which is perfect to use up left overs or skeins with different dye lots. This raglan sweater is easy to work with an irregular stranded partern, which can be repeated as often as you want. It gives you lots of space for your creativity. The sweater is worked seamless and top down. After the neckline is shaped with short rows, the yoke is worked down to the bottom of the armhole increasing for the raglan line with m1R/m1L. In this part you’ll work the irregular stranded pattern. Then body and sleeves are separated and the body is worked down to the hem in rounds. Options for tailored, straight or A-line shaping are given in the pattern. Then sleeve stitches are placed back on the needle and sleeves are worked down to the cuffs in rounds adding the stranded pattern in the lower part. The sweater is intended to be worn with approximately 2”/5cm of positive ease to make it comfortable to wear. Finished Bust: 96 (102-108-115-122-130) cm - 37,8 (40-42,3-45,1-47,8-51,2)´´ Yarn: Any yarn that gives you the proper gauge. Any DK/worsted weight yarn 200m/100g will work well.

Der Raglanpullover ist leicht nachzuarbeiten und das unregelmäßige Fair Isle Muster kann so oft gestrickt werden wie man möchte und lässt viel Raum für die eigene Kreativität.

Swiss Check Scarf If I had one inspiration for this scarf, it was the planned color pooling pictures that keep popping up in my Facebook feed (dude, I follow a lot of knitters). If I had two inspirations for this scarf, it was PCP (such a bad acronym!) and laziness; the idea of fiddling with a yarn and a design until I had nailed a certain color pattern seemed about as appealing to me as taking all three of my children to the dentist by myself for concurrent appointments. So I went with a more relaxed take on the same theme; namely, a slip stitch color pattern worked with two skeins of the same variegated yarn that still creates a fancy pattern but requires much less precision! :) Yarn: Lang Yarns Viva (100% Merino Wool; 120 yards [110 meters]/50 grams); #0020 - four skeins A closer look at the Swiss Check. So Swiss, no? Needles: One pair of straight needles in size US 8 Notions: Tapestry needle Gauge: 19 stitches = 4 inches in stockinette And now that we've gotten the basics down, let's make a scarf! And let's begin by talking some shop: specifically, addressing the fact that this scarf is worked with two skeins of your variegated yarn at once, and that even though they're the SAME DARN COLOR (or combination of colors I suppose), I will be calling one skein A and one skein B. Of course, that's because they need to be worked alternately in order to produce the slip stitch color pattern (and for that reason I also recommend that you make sure to begin the slip stitch pattern with a portion of your skein B ball that does not match your skein A ball at whichever point in the dye you're in after the edging rows). So let's proceed as follows: Using your skein A yarn (aka any whichever one of your skeins you pick up first), cast on 39 stitches loosely and work the edging rows as follows: Edging Row 1 (right side): purl Edging Row 2: knit Edging Row 3: purl Edging Row 4: knit Edging Row 5: purl Work these 5 rows, and then we'll begin our main pattern, which is Swiss Check from page 90 of Barbara G. Walker's A Treasury of Knitting Patterns, and goes as follows. But before you begin, take note: the main color pattern is a slip stitch pattern, so you need to leave your yarn behind the slipped stitches quite loose. HOWEVER, the three edge stitches make a faux i-cord, so when you're directed to slip the first three and last three stitches of the row you can cinch 'em as tight as you like (without, of course, accidentally cinching together the rest of the stitches in the row!). And with that, we'll proceed like so: Row 1 (wrong side): using skein A, purl Row 2: using skein B, slip 3 stitches purlwise with yarn in back (sl3 wyib), k1, sl1 wyib, * k1, sl3 wyib; rep from * until you have 6 stitches left in your row; then, k1, sl1 wyib, k1, sl3 wyib Row 3: using skein B, p4, * p3, slip 1 stitch purlwise with yarn in front (sl1 wyif) * until you have 7 stitches left in row; then, p7 Row 4: using skein A, sl3 wyib, k2, * sl1 wyib, k3 * until you have 6 stitches left in row; then sl1 wyib, k2, sl3 wyib Row 5: using skein A, purl Row 6: using skein B, * sl3 wyib, k1 * until you have 3 stitches left in row; then sl3 wyib Row 7: using skein B, p5, * sl1 wyif, p3 * until you have 6 stitches left in row; then sl1 wyif, p5 Row 8: using skein A, sl3 wyib, k4, * sl1, k3, * until you have 4 stitches left in row; then, k1, sl3 wyib Knit rows 1 - 8 until scarf measures roughly 56" and you've just finished row 1 or row 5 of the pattern. Clip your skein B yarn, and we'll work another edging in skein A as follows: Edging Row 1 (right side): purl Edging Row 2: knit Edging Row 3: purl Edging Row 4: knit Edging Row 5: purl Complete edging rows 1 - 5 and bind off loosely. Block scarf, and finish with 4 roughly 7" tassels, one affixed at each end of the edging! :) And a wrong side pic, for good measure!

’Fire in the Sky’ is a triangular shawl, worked bottom-up in two-color brioche, combined with cables. The body is surrounded by an I-cord, a small border, worked in the round, and a second I-cord. The pattern repeats every eight rows, so the shawl can be adapted to any size. My goal was to get it done with one Zauberball (I succeeded, but it was close.) Also, I was bewitched by this special colorway, therefore I settled for fingering weight. But I think it might even look better in DK (6 or 8 ply). ’Fire in the Sky’ ist ein Dreieckstuch in zweifarbigem Patent, das von unten nach oben gearbeitet wird. Das Muster entsteht ausschließlich durch versetzte Zöpfe und wird durch einen I-Cord eingerahmt. Der Rand wird aus dem I-Cord aufgenommen und um das gesamte Tuch in Runden angestrickt. Den Abschluss bildet ein zweiter I-Cord. Die Größe ist individuell anpassbar, da sich das Muster alle acht Reihen versetzt wiederholt. Mein Ziel war, mit einem Zauberball auszukommen und das ist auch gelungen (aber es war knapp!). Und ich war von dieser speziellen Farbe angetan, womit die Lauflänge von 420 m / 100 g vorgegeben war. Ich könnte mir aber vorstellen, dass das Muster in etwas dickerem Garn noch besser wirkt.

Would you like to forgo a “wrong side” in your knitting, have no ends to weave in when changing colors or, not worry about curling edges? I recently discovered double knitting on my quest to experiment with new colorwork techniques. Up until now, I was completely unfamiliar with double knitting, but it is the answer to all of these common knitting difficulties. Double knitting creates a thick, cushy fabric with two right sides. It also produces crisp, straight edges that do not curl. This is ac
