After finishing the Little Rectangles Scarf I thought more about modular knitting patterns and the way they can be used to emphasize variegated yarn. So I tried out some patterns on paper and found that these Xs or crosses could be used as well. I'm still not sure whether this pattern will work out - especially how to knit some of the crosses, the ones that need to be knitted upside down and then attached to the lower ones. Or maybe I have to think about it again ... But if it works, it will be an interesting scarf or blanket pattern.
After enjoying incredible success in hardcover, Entrelac is now being printed in paperback. Entrelac, a modular technique that produces a striking woven diamond pattern with eye-popping texture, continues to be one of today's hottest knitting trends. Knitting designer and expert Rosemary Drysdale first instills the basics of entrelac with clear and concise step-by-step instructions and photography. Knitters will then continue developing their skills with 65 swatch patterns that incorporate additional techniques such as cabling, lace, colorwork, and more. Of course, no knitting book is complete without projects, and Entrelac boasts 20 of them. Ranging from garments to accessories to home décor and even baby items, there is something for every knitter. Finally, the book ends with a guide on how to design new patterns with entrelac. Entrelac has proven itself as the ultimate reference for one of knitting's most distinctive techniques.

After I'd finished a huge knitted scarf for a friend, I didn't have an interesting UFO lying around. I played around a little with leftover yarn, but nothing seemed to interest me. Eventually, I started a crochet version of the Little Rectangles Scarf I published about a year ago. Even though, at first I didn't like it much, it seems to grow on me and it's actually fun to crochet :)
This modular sweater is coming along quickly and I am loving it.
Many of my designs begin with a triangle which tells me my gauge, and how the two yarns look together and finally how big the finished garment will be. In this photo, it is the center bottom triangle that starts it all. Casting on an uneven amount of stitches, say, 69, the triangle will be knit and decreased in the center and at each edge like so: Cast on 69 and knit. Row 2. Sl 1, k2 tog, k31, sl 1, k2tog, psso, k31, k2tog, p1. The beginning and ending stitches form an edge chain which is really important for picking up stitches as each module is knit. The triangle reduces with each right side decreases until five stitches remain, and those are bound off. Then I can measure the bottom width and determine the finished size of the garment. I am using two different weight yarns, so this is really the only way to find out what the combo will do. If I don't like it, it isn't much to rip out. Mostly experience has told me that it will be pleasing. So measuring might tell me that the triangle is 10 inches wide, and that means the width of the finished product will be 40", before blocking. If I am making a cardigan, I will add a button band on the front which will bring in at least another inch, so that is part of the final size. In other designs, I might make a vertical set of diamonds, without starting with a bottom triangle, and add little edge triangles later. Such is the case with the Diamond Panel jackets and vests. The string of diamonds are knit first, front and back and then the sides are picked up and knit to the desired width. In that case gauge tells me how many stitches I will need to make the necessary width. An easy project to try this idea is the scarf. And it is a great use of leftover bits of yarn. Try it with worsted weight and a size 8 needle. After the triangle is knit, pick up stitches along one side and decrease at the bottom while increasing on the top (right side only) and that will keep the diagonal going. Knit to desired length and then go back to the center triangle, pick up those edge stitches and again, decrease at the bottom while increasing at the top. FYI. I may start out with a plan but sometimes the whole thing takes on a life of its own. I am just along for the ride!
Tonight I will be knitting in the new year and watching old movies with my sweetie. What can be better than that? Writing this New Year's Eve edition of Woolfully has taken me all over the philosophical map and then some. I wandered into deep, thoughtful and ultimately ridiculous waters but thankfully came to my senses. Using moderately ruthless (you heard me, I said moderately ruthless), editing I have tried to spare you from some of the blah, blah, blah of a typical New Year's post but why make promises? The past 12 months have been excellent fun. I've made some great new friends with the Prince Rupert Library Knitters (and crafters of all sorts). With my friend Daisy I had the honour of teaching the local Pathfinders group how to knit. They are a fun bunch of young women and their leaders Jill and Coral get gold stars all around for just being terrific. Basking in the success of knitting with Pathfinders, I fell to the earth (you may recall our earthquake a few months back) when I tried to teach the gals to tat. Whoever coined the phrase "quit while you're ahead" may have been on to something. This year I plan to continue messing around with modular knitting. To refresh your memories, modular knitting is about knitting basic shapes together one piece at a time. I had a great time making the Irish Chain Afghan and as a result I'm going to play with knitting another "quilt" in the coming year. Stranded colour work and Fair Isle knitting are a couple of ways to accomplish a knitted quilt but I've never been a big fan of multiple bobbins of yarn dangling off the back of my piece as I knit. No, I prefer the one tiny piece at a time method. Why? Partly because my days of rushing to finish things are long over and partly because knitting tiny pieces together to create patchwork feels more akin to sewing bits of fabric together to make a quilt. Of late I have been messing around with the tumbling blocks pattern. After a bit of trial and error I've come up with a diamond shape that knits quite well into tumbling blocks. Most of the diamonds can be attached as you knit, but there is always one short seam that needs hand stitching with each block. I can live with that, but I know hand stitching is a fingernail on the blackboard for many knitters. My plan with the tumbling blocks below is to finish the burgundy row and then felt the whole works and see what it looks like. I have no particular project in mind, but I'm sure it will turn in to something, maybe. When I work out the kinks, I'll pass on the how-to. Lest you think I've gone totally tiny block nutty, I do have a couple of non-modular items planned for this year. I am looking forward to knitting each of my daughters an Icelandic sweater. I haven't knit one of those in 30 years or so. I had a hell of a time with the armpits back then, hopefully 30 years later I've learned a thing or 2. I'll keep you posted. I haven't any serious New Year's resolutions, I seldom do. New Year's resolutions are why the swim lane is suddenly full and you can't find an empty bike at spin class. No, I will leave the new year sweating to others. I do want to thank those of you who provided me loopholes for last year's rather elastic resolution (no online shopping after 8pm) which held strong for 6 months - okay 5 months but I was rounding up. The best loophole was waiting until midnight because technically that's a whole new day. The down side to that is that fabrics or yarns that seem like a brilliant idea at midnight seldom make any sense at all in the daylight and that's assuming I can even recall the purchase to begin with. The upside is I get so many surprise packages in the mail ("No, I'm sure it can't be for me, have you ordered anything, honey?") I look forward to meeting with the Library Knitters in the coming year and seeing all the nifty projects under construction. Feel free to join us every Thursday evening (except the 1st Thursday of the month - that's the Camera Club) at 7:00pm in the Prince Rupert Library multi-purpose room. We are not a knitting-centric group by all means bring your craft or your desire to learn something new and we'll be there to help you out. It's fun, it's free and it's never mandatory - what can be better than that? Join us! Happy and safe New Year everyone! Posted with Blogsy

When working on a project that uses multiple colors, trying to keep the balls of yarn from tangling can be an absolute nightmare. Modular yarn holders can help save your sanity (and your yarn) by keeping each color neatly contained and separated.
Cute chevron design, soothing repetition, and no sew: welcome to your new evening project. Crochet Northeasterly is perfect for using up your collection of scraps, leftovers and mini skeins. The basic stitch pattern can be used to make other items, such as a scarf, wrap, cowl, or even a headband. It’s totally modular and doesn’t require a border; so you can choose add more height to your columns - or add more columns - any time. This crochet pattern is based on the beautiful knitted blanket design, Northeasterly, by Ellie Alexander-Loomis. They deserve full credit for the original design, which you can find here. This pattern PDF is my own work; my translation of Ellie’s pattern into crochet (made with their express permission and involvement); and is therefore my intellectual property. Please do not distribute this pattern. You will need: - DK or sock/4-ply weight yarn (you can make it in any yarn weight, though, really, as long as you stick to the same weight throughout.)* - 5mm crochet hook (DK) or 3mm crochet hook (sock/4-ply) - Scissors and darning needle, to finish *Suggested square blanket sizes are as follows: Baby: 95cm (10 columns) x 95cm [37.5” x 37.5”] - requires approx.. 800g of DK yarn Throw: 152cm (16 columns) x 152cm [60” x 60”] - requires approx.. 2100g of DK yarn Full size: 228cm (24 columns) x 228cm [90” x 90”] - requires approx.. 4600g of DK yarn Or, make an accessory from the pattern: Wide scarf: 38cm (4 columns) x 152cm (can be sewn up to make a cowl) [15” x 60”] - requires approx.. 500g of DK yarn Wrap: 66.5cm (7 columns) x 152cm [26” x 60”] - requires approx.. 900g of DK yarn
