I love to knit - and quilt, and refinish furniture, and throw pottery and … you name it. I’m a sucker for crafty things. I like to tell people that I have enough hobbies for all my characters to live well-rounded lives outside of the pages of my manuscripts. One of my favorite characters from Scalding Deceit is Assistant District Attorney Kristine Rocha. In one of the opening chapters she’s left waiting outside the Coroner’s office. Waiting isn’t her strong suit, and she’s already angry for being called down to his office. The email she received said that the Coroner was planning on changing his testimony in a murder trail she’d been working on for over a year. She can’t sit still, so she pulls out her needles and yarn to work on a small project that fits in a little pocket inside her briefcase: socks for her nephew Bryan. Kristine has been knitting since she was five, but she quit the hobby during law school. She picked it up again when she found she needed a way to relax her mind. Unlike Kristine, I didn’t learn to knit until I was thirty. My grandma owned a knitting shop for forty years and taught knitting for a living. My grandfather was a yarn salesman. So naturally I resisted anything to do with the hobby. My main hobby was quilting, but quilting projects are a little difficult to travel with. About ten years ago, my grandparents asked me to join them on a fourteen-day cruise to celebrate my grandpa’s recovery (he’d been sick the winter before) and their anniversary. For the first few sea days I occupied myself with reading, but I was itching to do something with my hands. My grandma is always knitting, and watching her always mesmerized me. On about the fifth day I asked her if she had any spare knitting, and if she could teach me to knit. I’ve been knitting ever since. I started with a dozen scarves, moved on to basic hats, then fancier hats and then I started making mittens, and socks. I’ve knit exactly one sweater. The sweater took me forever, but my husband wears it every winter even though his cheeks turn red and beads of sweat form on his forehead from the thick wool. One thing my grandma doesn’t like to do is knit in the round on four needles. She’d rather knit flat in stockinette stitch and crochet the seam. I had already knit socks the hard way once when she taught me to knit socks with just two needles. The process is a lot more fun than gussets. When you are putting these socks together it feels a lot like the magic of origami. Only intermediary knitting skills are required: short row shaping using wrap and turn, and Kitchener’s stitch to graft the active stitches on the back of the heel together. You can choose whether to crochet or sew the seams, although my grandma says single crochet is the best way. The best part is this little project tucks away neatly in your briefcase if you ever get stuck outside the Coroner’s office waiting for him to tell you bad news about your case. Kristine Rocha’s Two Needle Socks Size: Child’s size for a 4 to 6 year old Materials: One skein of sock yarn, super fine weight. (I used “Bernat sox”) One set of straight US #2 needles or size needed to obtain gauge. Two small stitch holders US D (or #3) crochet hook Gauge: 28 stitches X 36 rows = 4 inches square Cuff: Cast on 40 stitches using long tail method. (Feel free to use a really long tail it’ll be useful later) Row 1: K1, P1 across Repeat Row 1 for 15 rows. Ankle: Row 1: Knit Row 2: Purl Repeat these rows for 24 total rows, ending with a Purl Row. Knit the first thirty stitches and stop. Place the first ten stitches from this row on a stitch holder. Place the last ten stitches from your left hand needle onto another stitch holder. You now have twenty total working stitches on your needle. Purl these stitches across. Top of foot: Row 1: Knit Row 2: Purl Repeat these rows until you have 25 rows from the point you put the 20 sts on hold. (Okay, this next part is a little tough, but it goes really fast.

This pattern is part of the Statement Knits eBook that contains 5 knit earring patterns, 5 knit necklace patterns and a Pom-Pom Headband as a bonus. Get the ebook here! Knitting with wire is fun, but also very hard on your hands and needles. The wire is very thin and knitting is a lot fiddlier than with yarn and it may break if you pull too hard. You’ll likely break a needle or two. The good thing is that even if your stitches slide off the needles, they will not drop and you can just insert the needle again. Feel free to explore other shapes for your first wire knitting projects, like a simple square. I recommend stockinette stitch for knitting with wire, as the stitches will look more even and like knitting – after pulling them into shape. These wire leaf earrings are a delicate knit and an elegant way to wear and celebrate knitting. Wire: 0.25 mm jewelry wire Needles: US 0 / 2 mm Jewelry Supplies: 2 fishhook earwires, flat-nosed pliers Dieses Strickmuster ist Teils des eBooks „Statement Knits“, das Strickmuster für 5 Paar Ohrringe, 5 Ketten und ein Pom-Pom-Haarband als Bonus enthält. Das eBook bekommst du hier! Mit Draht zu stricken macht Spaß, ist aber eine Herausforderung und beansprucht Nadeln und Hände mehr als normales Stricken. Der dünne Draht ist bei Weitem nicht so anschmiegsam wie Garn, aber immerhin können die Maschen nicht hinunterfallen, auch wenn die Nadel herausrutscht. Für den erste Drahtstrickversuch empfehle ich eine einfache Form, wie zum Beispiel ein Quadrat. Diese zarten Blatt-Ohrringe sind eine ganz außergewöhnliche und Art, gestrickten Schmuck in Szene zu setzen. Draht: 0,25 mm Schmuckdraht Stricknadeln: 2 mm Sonstiges: 2 Ohrhaken, Flachzange

I first came across 'constructional' knitting in a magazine a couple of years ago; learning to make and join 'mitred' squares opened up a whole new world for me and I was quickly addicted! One of the chief bonuses is there are NO seams to sew up! :-) I've included some of my square blankets in previous posts ( here and there for example ) but when I was asked by some members of our embryonic church crafting group to explain the technique I decided I needed to do something easy for people to follow! One of the activities we take part in is making blankets for charities worldwide; some of our more 'senior' knitters can only manage to knit the individual squares - these are then sewn up by those of us with more nimble fingers, as we'd like EVERYONE to be able to take part even if they're not able to cope with the growing weight of a blanket. Meanwhile, to save sewing-up, the more 'adventurous' amongst us asked me how to do the construction method. So, without wishing to teach any of you experienced knitters out there how to 'suck eggs' (and I know there are other examples out there on the 'web) - here's my first attempt at a tutorial! -oOo- How to knit a mitred square Mitred squares require an odd number of stitches. For the pictures in this example I used 33 stitches. (Edited 19/11/14). I've been asked about altering the sizes - the basic rule of thumb is: always cast on an odd number of stitches and always decrease over the central 3 stitches. Using DK yarn, 4mm needles and casting on 55 stitches will yield a 6" square, approx., following the instructions below but using the stitch counts in brackets. Cast on 33 (55) stitches. 1st row. K to last st; P1 2nd row. Sl 1, K to last st; P1 3rd row. Sl 1, K to middle 3 sts; (sl 1, K2tog, PSSO); K to last st; P1 4th row. Sl 1, K to last st; P1 Repeat 3rd and 4th rows until 3 sts remain; after final 4th row K remaining 3 sts tog. Now you have completed the first square. Well done! Draw yarn through loop and cut end. To start the 2nd square, pick up and knit 17 (28) sts down one side of 1st square: Then continue and cast on 16 (27) more sts. You should now have 33 (55) sts on needle: Next row: K to last st.; P1 Now continue to rep 3rd and 4th rows as on previous square until completed: Continue to add squares until desired width is achieved. You will see that the mid-row decreases create a diagonal ‘line’. Now to create a new row of squares on top! Cast on 16 (27) sts, then pick up 17 (28) sts along edge of block, like this: Again, you’ll have 33(55) sts on needle. Next row: K to last st.; P1 Continue 3rd and 4th row repeats as before and complete the square: So, 1st square was Blue; 2nd square was Pink; 3rd square was Green. To make the 4th square, this time you’ll be picking ALL your stitches like this: From the top left hand side of the green square, pick up 16 (27) sts; pick up 1 st at the corner of the blue square: then continue to pick up a further 16 (27) sts along the adjacent side of the pink square. You should now have 33 (55) sts on needle. K to last st; P1. Continue as before, repeating the original 3rd and 4th row: If you continue in this manner, always adding squares right to left, you will see that the diagonal ‘lines’ run all in the same direction. If you want to create a diagonal zig-zag with each new row of squares you just need to alter the direction you add the squares: This time you’ll be placing your squares left to right. See pic. above. Start picking up stitches from the right hand side of the square below (purple) and pick up 17 (28) sts, then cast on a further 16 (27). Now you have your 33 (55) sts in total, carry on and complete the square. Repeat the process to add a new square: Start from the top right of the green square and pick up 17 (28) sts. Note: the 17th (28th) stitch will be picked up from the corner of the square below (purple, in this case), then continue to pick up a further 16 (27), making 33 (55) sts. in total. Can you see the change of diagonal direction? Just alternate between these two methods for each row of squares and you’ll see the zigzag appear! -oOo- There - I hope this explains the technique easily! Picking up and knitting stitches for each new square saves the laborious procedure of sewing the squares together - and if you turn your work over you'll see it also gives a nice smooth finish! The only dilemma with creating blankets in this way is - which colour shall I use next.....! ;-)
Today, I will be sharing an amazing knit leaf stitch with you that you can use for your sweaters, cardigans or even for your knit wool scarf.
