after the sleeves are split off for top-down sweaters) closest to the number you
came up with in step 3. Chances are there will not be an exact match. You can
determine the measurements for the sizes on either side of your target by
dividing the stitch counts by your gauge. (So 190 stitches would give you a 38”
bust and 210 stitches a 42” bust.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">I haven’t done a lot of this myself (since I am only
knitting patterns I write right now, lol) but I feel like it’s best if your
gauge isn’t dramatically different from the pattern – avoid using fingering
weight for a sweater pattern that calls for chunky! It’s especially useful when
you fall between sizes or your gauge is just a tad off. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s also a good idea to check any
measurements dependent on row gauge – you may need to make some adjustments
there depending on if you are knitting to row counts or a measurement. Best to
try your garment on for fit as you go! And don’t expect the pattern yardage for
the size you end up knitting to be accurate – have extra on hand just in case.
Determining yardage is a complicated business (see my last post) under the
best of circumstances.</p>Laura Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12112989429027086472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-89096737056898649.post-33683077915621691962019-11-20T09:20:00.000-08:002019-11-20T09:20:10.665-08:00Why is it so hard to give good yardage estimates?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
If there's one thing I've learned in all my years of pattern-writing it's that giving good yardage estimates is a HUGE challenge. No one wants to run out of yarn before they finish their project, and no one wants to be told they need more skeins of potentially expensive and unreturnable yarn than they actually do. So why is it so hard to good estimates? I've come up with my own theories.<br />
<br />
1. Stated yardage is not always exact - in fact, I'd argue that it practically never is. It helps to have a scale so that you can verify that your skein weighs what you expect it to. I have found that commercial yarns tend to be the given weight or slightly less (my understanding is that they are allowed a 10% error - they are almost always on the under side) and indie dyers tend to go high. And you still have to assume that the yards/gram given is correct when it may not be. And if it's a thick and think yarn like the one in the photo above, it's just going to be an average at best.<br />
<br />
2. Even if you do have a scale and weigh your yarn, how do you know your scale is calibrated correctly?<br />
<br />
3. Humidity. Weigh the same skein on a humid day in August and a cold day in January - bet the numbers are different!<br />
<br />
4. People use different yardage at the same gauge. Seriously. If 2 of those people had a 3rd person block and then measure their gauge there would be more consistency, but people knit differently, people block differently, people measure differently.<br />
<br />
5. Estimating for yardage across different sizes for garments is especially tough - since it's impossible for me to knit all sizes to determine my own yardage, I have to rely on calculations. And if I did take the year that would be required to knit all sizes, my own gauge would vary and the humidity would vary and my scale might get a bit off - so even that would not be 100% accurate. Plus I'd have to knit them all in the exact same yarn - boring!<br />
<br />
And the variations can compound - what if I tend to use a bit less yarn for the same amount of knitting than most knitters, weigh my skeins before knitting on a dry day and my leftovers on a damp one (indicating I used less yarn than I actually did), and my scale develops a tendency to weigh on the heavy side (indicating more yarn leftover than actually was) during that time. All of these could mean that another person knitting the exact same thing in the same size and with the same yarn could need much more yarn than the usual 10% cushion that I give. Tester reports can help with this and I do always check their final yardage against my estimates and adjust if necessary. (Throwing out the extremes usually!)<br />
<br />
Most designers really do try to give you good yardage estimates but it's just not possible to be 100% accurate! If you plan to use a one-of-a-kind hand dye, buy that extra skein! With commercial yarns that tend to be consistent across dye lots, you may be able to get away with just buying the amount suggested in the pattern. If you're going to play yarn chicken, be prepared to lose sometimes!Laura Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12112989429027086472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-89096737056898649.post-87456309821801182402018-07-20T06:58:00.002-07:002018-07-31T11:57:07.101-07:00Knitting backwards in garter stitchWhen working multiple sets of short rows over a long section of garter stitch, being able to knit backwards saves a lot of turning and repositioning. The videos I've been able to find online about knitting backwards are for working in stockinette where you are actually <i>purling </i>backwards, or they are very long when all I needed was to see the actual execution of the stitch. This is a just a short little cell phone clip, I don't have the equipment for making nice videos, but hopefully it will be helpful! <br />
<br />
At the start of this clip, I am wrapping a stitch after knitting normally (from right to left), then instead of turning, I begin to knit backwards (from left to right). Even after doing this over the course of a large shawl, it is still a bit awkward for me and I have to be careful about my tension. It speeds things up considerably though! I knit continental, so if you're a thrower your working yarn will be in your other hand.<br />

backwards a try if you plan to knit Summer Dunes that is coming out
later today! I had trouble finding a video that showed knitting
backwards in garter rather than stockinette. I figured out how to do
this years ago while knitting version 2 of Lizard Ridge (all one piece
so LONG rows and a LOT of them!) At the beginning I am doing a wrap but
not turning. #fogboundknits #knittingtipsandtechniques

useful. <b>You do need to know how to use Excel for this method.</b> I’m sure it could
all be done by hand but it makes my head hurt to think about it :D</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>You will need</b><br />
Yarn <br />
Needles<br />
Excel (or another spreadsheet program)<br />
Scale that will measure in grams</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Step 1</b><br />
Knit a swatch. Yep. Sorry but you need this information! You need to count the
total number of stitches in your swatch and then weigh it. (If you use anything
other than a backwards-loop cast-on, count the cast-on stitches twice. Don’t
forget to count the bind-off. So if you cast on 20 stitches and knit 20 rows,
and then bind off, your total number of stitches is 20 (stitches) x 20 (rows) +
40 (cast-on) + 20 (bind-off) = 460.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Step 2</b><br />
Weigh your swatch. Let’s say it weighs 2 grams (I am totally making these
numbers up!)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Step 3</b><br />
Calculate your stitches per gram: total stitches/grams = 460/2 = 230</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Step 4</b><br />
Determine your cast-on by multiplying your stitch gauge per inch by the
wingspan you want. Let’s say 5 stitches per inch and 50 inches for our example.
So my cast-on number would be 250.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Step 5</b><br />
Set up your spreadsheet with the following columns:<br />
Row number|row stitch count|cumulative stitch count<br />
The first line will be your cast-on, then number the rows below. (Don’t worry
yet about how many rows to add, just do what you can see on the page.)<br />
The first stitch count entry will have your cast-on number calculated in step 4.<br />
The first cumulative stitch count will be 2 times the cast-on number (for a
long-tail cast-on). Use a formula here so it will adjust if you change your
stitch count.</div>

Set up line 2. For this pattern you are decreasing one stitch
on every row, down to 1 stitch (there are actually 2 rows where you decrease 3
stitches, but there’s no need to complicate things by trying to be that exact
here. A few extra rows will just give you a bit of a cushion which is a good
thing :)</div>

It's a good idea to check your yardage as you go - numbers you get after knitting a lot of stitches are more accurate than what you get from a swatch. And if you don't want to swatch, you can at least determine if you can keep going or if you need to bail. Determine the amount of yarn you used and calculate your stitches per gram.
You can then multiply your total grams available by the stitches per gram and
see if you need to rip and restart with a smaller cast-on.</div>

This is the method I use all the time when I’m designing a
shawl and need to make sure I’m not going to run short. Different patterns will
have different rates of decrease or may increase instead, but the basic
principle is the same. You could also use this method to see how big of a shawl
you can knit using the Dogwood Spring pattern (also coming March 2) with your yarn and gauge. You
would start with 1 stitch and increase each row in the spreadsheet for that
one. Once you know your possible final row and stitch count, you can estimate
your finished size based on your gauge.</div>

Okay, I admit it. I wasn't <i>really </i>swatching (exactly). I was hoping that I would just be able to continue on to get the desired result. Luckily I decided to do some number-crunching to see what I was heading for and discovered that I was well on my way to knitting a Hagrid-sized shawl. This required some regrouping to get a more reasonable size and use about 800 yards instead of 1320. Although a shawl that size would be fabulous, knitting it in linen stitch might take the rest of my life.<br />
<br />
Because I had become so fond of this swatch I decided to bind it off and keep it. (My favs get stuck up on the bulletin board in my work room.) Then I discovered it went around my neck nicely with just enough overlap for a snap closure. Hmmmm. We were heading to Newfoundland, this just might come in handy.... I love cowls, but with my crazy hair, weather that requires frequent on-and-off maneuvers can be a disaster. Scarves work but they are big - this will fit in my purse/backpack/coat pocket.<br />

Just on the off chance that someone else might want to make this, here's the "pattern". I decided to call it <b>Alias</b> (I was watching <i>Jane Got a Gun</i> while working on this. There may be a connection.) It's very basic - just linen stitch with increases to form the triangle. Stripe it if you like. (My stripes were 4 rows/6 rows/6 rows/4 rows/16 rows.) The stranded colorwork pattern is not included (it will be in the shawl pattern when it's released). I wrote it up for the weight/gauge/yardage I used, but there's lots of room for playing here. <br />

I thought it would be fun to show you the process I used when I was trying to decide on colors. I needed a 6-skein gradient, a whole skein that extended the gradient, and a contrasting color. I don't have fancy graphic software, but you can do a lot with good ole Paint.<br />
<br />
The first thing is to get photos of the yarns you are considering into Paint. You can open the program and paste right into it or you can download photos and then edit them in Paint. From Miss Babs' website I was able to just right click on the pictures and them copy them into Paint. They will always land in the upper left corner but you can move them over as long as you do it right away while they are still 'selected'.<br />

I already had a sketch of the shawl drawn up. So next I used the 'Paste from' feature to bring that in. (Click the arrow below 'paste' to see this option.)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-38kTe0tp-sk/V5y4Mz821TI/AAAAAAAAFlQ/ZBti_oDqB9c6kQ2lMJ3D4eVzeXmr-JboACLcB/s1600/screenshot.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="311" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-38kTe0tp-sk/V5y4Mz821TI/AAAAAAAAFlQ/ZBti_oDqB9c6kQ2lMJ3D4eVzeXmr-JboACLcB/s400/screenshot.png" width="400" /></a></div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Then you use the color picker (looks like a medicine dropper) to pick each color up and the fill with color option (pouring paint can) to place each color in the sketch. You may have to play around with the best spot to pick the color up on the photo.<br />

Because I want to use a light color for the CC, I changed the background so that the edge would show up. You can do ctrl+A to select your whole sketch and move it up to get the photos out of the way once you are happy with it.<br />

It's a bit of work to go through this process, but it sure beats deciding halfway through your project that you aren't happy with the colors!Laura Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12112989429027086472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-89096737056898649.post-75427582847394450252015-11-23T17:57:00.000-08:002015-11-23T17:57:50.001-08:00Quick gift!Several years ago I knit up a bunch of modified <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/lizard-ridge-dishcloth" target="_blank">Lizard Ridge Dishcloths</a> in Noro scraps to make felted coasters for my knitting friends.<br />
<br />

I've had a few requests for more complete directions so I decided to polish up my notes and put a <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/lizard-ridge-coasters" target="_blank">free download</a> up on Ravelry. They make such nice, useful gifts and are so much fun! I'm adding a little photo tutorial here on the trimming process.<br />
<br />
This is what your unfelted 'square' will look like -<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
and here it is after felting. Looks a little rough around the edges :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LxlnFn1n_U4/VlMuMqpwvyI/AAAAAAAACDw/PazPp8mTI9s/s1600/IMG_9071.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="287" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LxlnFn1n_U4/VlMuMqpwvyI/AAAAAAAACDw/PazPp8mTI9s/s320/IMG_9071.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
This is easiest with a rotary cutter. I'm sure it could be done with very sharp scissors, but I think you'd want to mark your cutting lines first somehow - maybe with masking tape.<br />
<br />
I started with one of the wavy edges and laid my ruler so that I would cut the minimum while still getting a clean edge. It helps if you have your work squared up with the grid on your mat and refer to the lines when placing your ruler.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hMF7apAwMOc/VlMutcb9AGI/AAAAAAAACD4/SQ77rfd6WiI/s1600/IMG_9072.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hMF7apAwMOc/VlMutcb9AGI/AAAAAAAACD4/SQ77rfd6WiI/s400/IMG_9072.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Then I turned it 90° and cleaned up the next edge, making sure that the second cut was perpendicular to the first.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Turn again, align the ruler, cut.<br />

Mine wasn't quite a perfect square, but the quarter inch difference I had is not noticeable once you cut it into 4 pieces.<br />
<br />
Make the first cut so that it goes down the middle of your square:<br />

<br />
I have a big bin of tosh merino light leftovers. It is FULL. I've made a few things in the past to try to use some of them up, but it just seems to stay full to overflowing. Last May I decided to use one of my favorite stitch patterns and hold two strands together to make a throw, thinking that I might finally put a dent in the supply. I had a vague plan. I divided my leftovers into two groups - colors and non-colors. I would do a sort of rainbow progression through the colors and a shade progression through the neutrals. But still when it's time to add another color, I kind of randomly pick from the correct bunch, making sure the new goes with the old. I carried it around all summer on our trip and worked on it occasionally, but design work always took precedence so progress has been slow. It only measures about 16" long now.<br />
<br />
Anyway, it's too simple to do a pattern for, but it looks really nice and I thought I would share what I'm doing and see if anyone else with a leftover problem wanted to join me. I'll start a thread in my Ravelry <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/groups/lauras-workshop" target="_blank">group</a> if anyone wants to play along. I'm calling it Copacetic because it is "completely satisfactory" :) The doubled tml makes such a lovely fabric and this stitch looks good on both sides. I actually found it first in a stitch dictionary as 'sand stitch' which is the reverse side. There was a note that the other side is also attractive and called it 'dot stitch'.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Here's the general plan -<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
COPACETIC</div>
<br />
<b>adjective, </b><i>Slang.</i><br />
1. fine; completely satisfactory; OK.<br />
<br />
<div>
Divide your leftovers into two sets. I am using fingering weight but you could do it with any weight.Swatch in the dot stitch pattern to get your stitches per inch and then decided how wide you want your FO to be to determine the cast on. It can be odd or even, no special multiple needed. I am making a throw, so mine is going to be large and take LOTS of yarn (I hope!) but you could do a baby blanket, a wrap, a scarf, even a poncho with a couple of seams. I am knitting mine lengthwise because the rows would be dishearteningly long widthwise, but it can be done either way.</div>
<br />
If, unlike me, you have a limited amount of yarn, you will need to figure out how large of an item you can make so you know how many stitches to cast on. The best way I know to do this is to knit a swatch (don't cut your yarn because you'll probably need it!), steam block it, measure it, weigh it to determine the yards you used. Calculate the yardage you used per square inch. Then you can determine the square inches you can get out of the yardage you have. This is something we can work on in the thread on Ravelry if anyone needs help.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
Dot stitch: RS rows are knit, WS rows are k1, p1 across, offsetting the knits and purls from the previous WS row (another name for it is Broken Seed Stitch - you can see why!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Using your border color(s) doubled, cast on using the long-tail cast on. (I cast on 240 for my throw using US7s/4.5mm). If you want to use the same color for all your borders, set it aside!<br />
<br />
Knit the first border to the width you want in garter stitch, ending after a WS row. Note: my garter gauge and dot stitch gauge were the same. If yours are not, you may want to use different needle sizes!<br />
<br />
Begin dot stitch -<br />
Switch to the first color/s you want to use (doubled) and begin with a RS (all knit) row.<br />
Work in dot stitch until your wrap/throw/scarf is the length you want, swapping out colors as needed/desired. I am usually only swapping out one color at a time since I'm uisng leftovers. When you get to the other end, knit a matching garter border, starting on a RS row. I like to use the stretchy lace bind-off with garter, but do not use larger needles or work it loosely! The stretch is built in! It can be worked on the RS or WS.<br />
<br />
Stretchy lace bind-off:<br />
Slip one stitch purl-wise with yarn in back, [k1, insert left needle into fronts of the two stitches you just worked and knit them together] repeat instructions in brackets until one stitch remains. Cut yarn and pull tail through last stitch.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I haven't gotten to this point yet, but for the side borders I plan to pick up stitches along each side in my border color and knit on garter edges. It looks like my pick up ratio is going to be 4 stitches in every 5 rows. This may vary with your individual gauge, but we can do the math in the thread if anyone needs help.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Naturally I am thinking of cool ways to handle the colors now that I am well into it! Some ideas -</div>
<div>
1. Use a gradient for one group and a single color or similar colors for the other </div>
<div>
2. Use lights for one group and darks for the other</div>
<div>
3. Instead of using doubled yarn, use heavier yarn and stripe in your leftovers.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My throw may take years to complete, but it's nice to always have it around in case I need some pretty mindless knitting or am between other projects.</div>

<u>2014 in review</u></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li>I knit 7 hats, 13 cowls, 21 garments, 5 pairs of mitts, and 8 wraps for a total of 54 items. A tad more than one FO per week! </li>
<li>I released 33 patterns which increased my catalog by 65%!</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u>Goals for 2015</u></div>
<div>
I really only have one - BALANCE</div>
<div>
2014 was my first full year of working at this business full-time. I felt like I really needed to push myself to turn a hobby business into a real source of income for my family. My husband retired in 2014 and it was the perfect time for me to shift into high gear and produce. In 2015 I want to try to be more efficient, work smarter, take some of the pressure off of myself. I neglected myself to some extent and I need to make time for exercise and relaxation. I still plan to work full-time, just not ALL the time :) I'm not complaining, I really enjoyed it, but I think another year or two like last year would just burn me out and I really don't want that. I love what I'm doing and hope to keep doing it for awhile yet!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Plans for January - I have 3 patterns in the works that I hope to release together mid-month and host a KAL for in my <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/groups/browse/show/lauras-workshop" target="_blank">Ravelry group</a>. There's a jumper -</div>

We got some great pictures on the beach last night that I can't show you because it's a MYSTERY! :D<br />
<br />
Here's the pattern page photo and description - more details <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/just-for-you" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 1em !important; padding: 0px;">
A Christmas present from me to you! This is such a busy time of year for those of us celebrating the holidays and we usually end up neglecting ourselves while decorating, cooking, and shopping for everyone else. Starting on December 18, I challenge you to take an hour or so of time for yourself each day! The pattern will be updated daily for a week and will finish up on Christmas Eve. After Christmas all the individual pdfs will be replaced with a single pdf. It’s free until December 18 (EST) when the first bit goes out. In the meantime, you can download the planning sheet which includes gauge, materials, and abbreviations.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 1em !important; padding: 0px;">
What is it? A huge cozy cowl/sort-of-poncho with an interesting construction that can be worn in several ways. Nothing difficult - just knitting, purling, decreasing, and simple short rows (no picking up wraps). Everything is fully explained so you can just sit in your favorite spot with your favorite beverage and enjoy a little time for yourself.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 1em !important; padding: 0px;">
This is a mystery but it isn’t a KAL; there are no rules to follow, no prizes to win, nothing to stress about, just relaxing knitting and a warm present for you! I hope that seeing the end result will be like opening a gift so I won’t post a photo until after Christmas. There is a thread in my <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/lauras-workshop/3088732/1-25" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666666;">group</span> </a>where you can ask questions.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 1em !important; padding: 0px;">
Merry Christmas everyone!</div>

A lot of driving, beautiful scenery, and not a lot in the way of places to eat or stay. We were mostly right, but what we weren't prepared for was just how spectacular the scenery was, how friendly the people are, and how much good food we'd encounter! Our first trip 10 years ago was with our kids, then 11 and 13, and we were camping and it was high summer. It was HOT. There were BUGS. And MOOSE - IN THE ROAD. ALL THE TIME. We camped in some spectacular places and enjoyed seeing Western Brook Pond by boat and we took some memorable hikes. But we didn't make it as far afield as we'd hoped and we didn't find a lot of good places to eat. This trip was so different! We mostly went back because we hadn't made it up to L'Anse aux Meadows. We'd tried the first time but it was so far away -<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This trip we had more time and no one whining in the backseat. We took the long, overnight ferry that put us down on the southeast corner to start. Our first stop was <a href="http://www.env.gov.nl.ca/env/parks/wer/r_csme/" target="_blank">Cape Saint Mary's</a>. Tens of thousands of sea birds nest here - gannet, kittiwake, murre, razorbill, guillemot, cormorants and fulmars. It was a foggy day but still amazing -<br />

After spending chunks of just about every summer in Canada we were looking forward to spending the entire summer there. The kids are on their own (more or less) so we sold our house and hit the road. We spent a few days in Maine and Quebec before heading to Halifax, Nova Scotia where we found an apartment for a couple of months. We couldn't find a furnished one that was affordable, so we ended up on the 4th floor (the attic basically) of an old house in what is normally a student apartment (we were right next to Dalhousie University).<br />
<br />
We had a futon, some folding chairs, and a gorgeous flowerpot on our little deck.<br />
<br />

No TV, limited internet, but lots of interesting places to go. My goal was to keep working on the road just as I would have at home. I was moderately successful at this. Lack of internet/Netflix made it hard to just sit and knit sometimes but I was always knitting in the car or when we were out and about.<br />

Right after we left Halifax to head to Newfoundland my laptop started to die. This made working much more difficult and I struggled with the sweater pattern I was working on during that part of the trip. Thankfully I have very patient test knitters :)<br />
<br />
Here is the pile of what I knit during our time away -<br />
<br />

<br />
4 adult sweaters, 2 baby sweaters, 2 wraps, 2 cowls, 3 pairs of mitts and a headband. In the same time period last year I knit 4 adult sweaters, 4 shawls, and 2 cowls, so maybe I was a little more productive? In any case it was a very inspirational trip and I'm planning an eBook of patterns inspired by our trip through Newfoundland on the way home. Yes, we went north to go south :) The first two patterns have already gone up. I am releasing them every week or two and they are on sale for that week at 40% off. After that, they aren't available until the collection comes out in November. <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/grey-islands" target="_blank">Grey Islands</a> was the first pattern -<br />

It was a great experience and we need to sit down once we get ourselves reoriented and figure out what's next! My knitting makes it a bit more difficult to be nomadic - we could live out of backpacks if I didn't need yarn and needles and a computer and internet :)</div>

I love it over a tank or t-shirt now, and can't wait until it's cool enough to wear it over a long-sleeved shirt :)<br />
<br />

It's called <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/robie-street" target="_blank">Robie Street</a> for the street we lived on this summer in Halifax. I always love knitting with Pashmina, and this colorway - Fig - is one of the best browns ever. Sadly discontinued :(<br />
<br />
And I also released a cowl a couple of weeks ago - <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/blackberries-2" target="_blank">Blackberries</a>, knit in the divine Tesseract DK.<br />
<br />

<br />
I think I may need a sweater out of this stuff!<br />
<br />
Now I'm working on a pullover in the very nice Rowan Pure Wool, but after knitting with Pashmina and Tesseract, it's wearing my hands out. Partly because it's heavier yarn but also because it just doesn't glide across the needles like the luxury stuff!<br />
<br />
Our time in Halfax ends tomorrow - it's been a great summer! Here's a postcard for you :)<br />

A few weeks ago I decided I wanted to do a garter stitch, multi-colored shawl that I could name 'Divergent'. I sketched this out in Paint, thinking it would be appropriate for that name -<br />

I knew short rows and decreases would be involved, but really wasn't sure it was going to be possible to knit. I just started knitting and figured it out as I went. Surprisingly there was very little ripping out involved, (less than usual for me even when I know what I'm doing!) I wasn't even sure things were going to work out with the cast on number I started with. I just couldn't see my way clear ahead of time. The whole time I was knitting I was figuring I'd have to do it twice (or more) to get it right. But look - this is the first (and only!!) go!<br />

This was intended to be a Mystery KAL, but I polled my Rav group and they voted for just a regular KAL. It starts on September 24 but you can get the planning sheet now for 40% off so you'll be ready to go if you want to participate. Details can be found <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/exit-0" target="_blank">here</a>. It is much easier to knit than you would think! And the funny thing is I ended up changing the name! I was trying to think of a project name that didn't give away my pattern name and came up with 'Exit 0' - there's an exit 0 on the 102 near where we've spent the summer in Halifax. Then I decided I liked it better than 'Divergent' :) It seemed appropriate since the idea and the shawl were both 'born' here :)Laura Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12112989429027086472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-89096737056898649.post-46159210119173890692014-07-24T17:58:00.003-07:002014-07-24T17:58:31.376-07:00Finally!I've been wanting to knit these two skeins up in something together ever since I swatched for something else using some leftover Bark from my <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cinnamon-scone" target="_blank">Cinnamon Scone cowl</a> and leftover Weathervane from <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/LauraAylor/taygete" target="_blank">a shawl</a>. (I had to substitute Forge for Weathervane since I couldn't get any more.)<br />

Because there are so many parts to a hoodie and because some people find the top-down simultaneous sleeve sweater construction intimidating, I'm hosting a KAL in my <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/groups/lauras-workshop" target="_blank">Ravelry group</a>. Tips and chat, pictures and prizes! Part 1 goes out on August first. Right now you can download the planning sheet so you can find your yarn, pick your size, check your gauge. I think the KAL is going to be a lot of fun - I hope you'll join us!Laura Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12112989429027086472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-89096737056898649.post-6344813380727500682014-06-21T02:46:00.000-07:002014-06-21T02:47:16.476-07:00Summer knits on sale!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Growing up my favorite times were when our family went to the beach for a week or two. When I had my own family it continued to be a favorite spot for us to unwind and reconnect. I am usually with people who like to go and do while we're at the beach - amusement parks, water slides, shopping, sight-seeing - but once I'm at the beach I just want to stay put because there's just nothing better. And I love <i>any</i> beach - north or south, sandy or rocky, calm or stormy. Even though I didn't mind all the snow and cold weather we got this winter, I did seem to start thinking about the beach pretty seriously toward the end of it and I gravitated towards colors and designs inspired by the sea.<br />

Nyra should probably be glad I don't live nearby because I would be sitting on her couch knitting ALL THE TIME. She has such a fabulous shop - beautiful and well laid out, stocked with great yarn and supplies, and really nice, friendly, helpful staff. Her customers are awesome too. I have to admit that it was a little hard to get geared up to do this after the events of the past month, but I'm so glad I did! My husband went along to help with the driving and we both had a great time. Columbus is a very cool city and we are grateful that we got the chance to spend some time there. Here are a few photos -<br />
