knitting helping hand

When knitting a garment in rows, a new ball of yarn or a new color should always be joined at the beginning of the row. The neatest way is to make a reef knot by passing the end of the old ball of yarn from left to right over and then under the end from the new ball.Pass the same end from right to the left over and under the other end and tighten the knot.

 

When knitting a gurnsey in rounds, the ends of the old and new ball of yarn should always spliced together in the course of working a round.Unravel the ends of each ball and cut away one or 2 strands, then overlay the two ends from the opposite directions and twist them firmly together. The twisted ends should be the same thickness as orginal yarn. work a few stitches very carefully with the twisted yarns, trim away the ends

mengait guna kaedah entralac ( jarum 1)

Kaedah entralac boleh dipraktikkan untuk kedua2 kaitan samaada knitting atau crochet.w/b/pun Entralac teknik ni cam agak tidak biasa diamalkan di negara kita Malaysia ni. Mungkin sebab kat mesia ni kita tak banyak crochet benda2 yang tebal seperti blanket atau gebar. kaedah entralac ni menggunakan teknik tunisian crochet atau lebih popular dengan nama afghan crochet. Jarum atau hook yang digunakan untuk teknik ini ialah jarum crochet yang panjang. normally dalam 22 cm -32cm. panjang jarum akan menentukan lebar fabrik yang boleh dikait. saya ada share teknik tunisian crochet ni dalam post saya sebelum ni.http://threadyarn.blogspot.com/2011/02/afghan-sticth-bridge-between-crochet.html.

ni pulak gambar jarum yang digunakan untuk kaedah tunisian crochet ni. Jarum ni mr hubby belikan kat wallmart masa ke US dulu

tapi kalau untuk biasa2 punya saiz saya gunakan jarum crochet biasa jenama tulip yang gold kaler tu je..lepas tu ikat ngan getah rambut yang tebal kat hujungnya untuk elakkan stitch dari slip keluar dari jarum. guna jarum biasa yang panjangnya dalam +- 15 cm tu lepaslah untuk buat sweater budak umur dalam 6 tahun tu ( lebih kurang 50 hingga 70 stitch)

so berbalik kita ke entralac teknik. guna teknik ni bila kita nak buat diamond pattern .yang berlainan warna. kaeadh ni bagus bila kita ada banyak leftover yarn yang kita saya nak buang. boleh kait untuk buat selimut baby, sarung bantal, lapik pinggan dan sebagainya.

ni pulak beberapa link yang menunjukkan cara untuk crochet menggunakan kaedah entralac. Happy crocheting peeps.

Storybook hooded sweater

During his last trip to US on sep 2011 , my dear hubby bought this yarn, from a famous yarn manufacturer Lion brand. align with the name the "pound of love" really weighted 1 pound which is eq to 400g and the size was really big... bigger than my hubby's head ( trust me that his head is big enough ...) . The picture on the cover caught my eyes and i search in lionbrand website looking for the pattern that happened to be free ( lucky me ..). this is the link to the pattern and , yes you need to be a free member before you can access the pattern. the pattern is free to download at lionbrand website( http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/90427AD.html) . its a simple garter stitch sweater suitable for beginners...

i need to get the sweater done before the trip to universal studio and plan for my baby to wear the sweater with the purple legging on the flight to singapore. the time is limited and yet i was so busy with my paid job at that time.

So i choosed to knit during my trip to and from from work at the red light ( i am a driver not the passenger). It took me 3 weeks to finish and this was the only time i was gratefull that the traffic jam in penang was so bad...:P

The sweater finish at last and eventhough it finish after the singapore trip it is still be very useful especially when i bring the kids to the movie.
