needles to say skip to main skip to sidebar needles to say designed to inspire excite educate and entertain tuesday january 21 2025 finale this turned out first rate and it fits just right the shoulders and sleeves are perfect the thickness of the knitted pieces matches well with the fabric i love it do i get on with the next one while this is all fresh in my mind or pick a new project and save the light coloured denim for the spring decisions decisions posted by mary anne oger at 12 00 pm 6 comments saturday january 11 2025 sew knit it s all stitches a little sewing a little knitting i m onto knitting the side panels and realized i forgot to take the cone weight out of the beginning amount i m down to 140g after the sleeves and feeling a little tense even though visuals and common sense tells me the side panel is slightly smaller than the sleeve while knitting the first side panel i m formulating a backup plan i had used this yarn quite a lot and i remembered a small lace poncho i had made back in the poncho days https knitwords blogspot com 2020 10 handy work look at the bottom of that post for glamour i remember making a ton of those i could unravel that if necessary at the underarm point of the side panel it s like making a neckline although this one isn t symmetrical and because i want this to be as smooth as possible i m going to shortrow the decreases but because of the indigo dye this yarn won t stand up to regular holding position of having the needles out and the back and forth of 50 or so passes over that row will make a lighter colour line across and though i might be able to convince myself that it doesn t really matter since it is at the underarm and maybe won t show so much reality is it will show on the back here s my tip using the ravel cord method put the first side at right of 0 here this is the back side to hold by knitting the stitches back out of work using the ravel cord and then cover the front with an old swatch just happen to have a neckband waste yarn swatch that has a single row cast on that won t add any extra bulk to the situation hanging it on the sinker posts gate pegs to prevent damaging your work complete the left side remove the protective swatch pull the sts back to work by carefully pulling out the ravel cord and then knit the right side following the schematic second panel has to be knit in reverse and i m weighing the remaining yarn every 50 rows no worries at least 10g remain posted by mary anne oger at 12 24 pm 1 comment thursday january 9 2025 against all odds a denim jacket like the camo one m ake it an inch longer don t use shank buttons and no fabric cuffs not sure if the shank button is the reason i don t want cuffs but changing it up is good my options for the knit fabric wool crepe deluxe what i used last time and know it works in midnight or denim bouclé old stuff i used many times and of course there s that denimy shades 6 2 cotton http knitwords blogspot com 2024 02 ta da html that i used last year for the remake of my tennessee tunic perfect colours but it s not really as hard wearing as i d like for this project i want something t hat s going to have a little stretch yet still be firm enough that it won t bag out or get a ton of pill balls on it so going with the denim bouclé checked knitwords 35 m ade to f ade it was stockinette t8 with a gauge of 28 sts and 55r my theory lately after all those button front lace hoodies l ace and stockinette should be t he same gauge i looked up my all time f avourite lace skirt https knitwords blogspot com 2012 06 update better late html using this same yarn that gauge was 29 sts and 52 rows at t8 lace carriage took a chance decided to call it t9 with the knit carriage and go with the 28s 52r gauge the partial cone i had weighed 310g which i thought should be enough i got lucky and was able to recognize my mylar schematic from 5 yrs ago knit the first sleeve it looked huge 82 cm long what the heck with trust your swatch ringing in my ears even if you didn t actually make one i quickly knit the second threw them both in the wash along with a couple of jeans crossed my fingers and eyes and went for a walk put it all in the dryer and channel surfed while waiting f ound the g reat british s ewing b ee ohmigosh so much fun even better than the great british baking show the comedian here was better the judges so cute an old gal a self described diva and the man supposedly from saville row the sewing was brutal the contestants fun and varied judges very liberal and nice what a winner i loved it after the dryer i could hardly stand it unbelievably the sleeves are the exact size 55 cm i planned wow if i tried a stunt like that back in the day posted by mary anne oger at 3 01 pm 2 comments tuesday january 7 2025 denim delight one of my favourite projects from the past few years has been that camo jean jacket from 2019 where i knit the side panels and sleeves because i didn t have enough fabric for the entire sewing project https knitwords blogspot com 2019 07 camoflague html that s the start of the story if you re really interested go back and down on the right side click on 2019 july to see what happened here s the finale https knitwords blogspot com 2019 08 now i know why html i still love it have worn it a lot have wanted another but trying to find just the right print fabric in the right weight thickness been the main issue our local f abricland has been drastically reduced and travelling in the past five years blah blah blah you know the story in october this year i went to vancouver to visit little sis checking the internet and local sources there proved discouraging we even went to the island and hit nanaimo which had listings for 3 fabric stores oh my yeah you know it the internet lies they weren t fabric stores they were quilt shops disappointing doesn t cover it anyway last month manfriend and i went to duluth mn and found a joann omg there was two denim y prints that looked quite good and since i couldn t decide which one light or dark came home with both working on the dark one first posted by mary anne oger at 3 36 pm 2 comments wednesday november 27 2024 it s tea time or so i thought let me backtrack a bit when i made the first swatch and saw the shading that was going on because of different dye lots especially on the stockinette swatch i flashbacked to my very early years and recalled when i used to use steeped tea to dye my white bra to a nude skin tone i m talking fifty years ago you may have been able to buy nude tone bras at the time but maybe not where i lived or maybe i didn t have the extra cash to buy both a white and a nude bra and it was pre martha stewart anyway now i had in the back of my mind that i could use tea to colour the two white shades to an ecru shade that would still give me the benefit of a non colour that would go with anything i did try it out on the original swatch which was the same as the back and it looked very promising even the acrylic yarn took the tea shade well so i jumped in let s do this made my tea 4 tea bags orange pekoe black tea in 4 cups hot water and let it steep for an hour or so dumped that into my large soup pot and added enough warm water to more than enough to cover the garment swished it around several times every ten minutes let it sit for a couple of hours dumped it out wrung the garment and put it in the washer with a bit of detergent let it finish and tossed it in the dryer yikes how could i go so wrong i couldn t even take a picture it was all mottled ugly and the back was still distinctly much lighter than the other parts and i thought oh freaking heck i can t show that to anyone what the aich am i going to do next thing here i am madly googling how to remove tea stains baking soda huh well of course i dreamt about it all night omg may be i could just not say anything more and get into a new project but i felt like that would be lying tried the baking soda didn t really do much but it is a little more even looking not quite as patchy i m going to live with it over the next few months and weigh my options i could try that painting technique that i used for the tiger stripe thing https knitwords blogspot com 2011 01 tiger in my sweater html here s the link to the finished product https knitwords blogspot com 2011 01 minor alterations only html from way back or see how another go at the woodstock thing https knitwords blogspot com 2010 06 woodstock html painting would go here s the finished thing https knitwords blogspot com 2010 09 september update html posted by mary anne oger at 12 53 pm 3 comments saturday november 16 2024 note to self darn in every end before the laundering i left the tails on the stockinette facing for the neckline slash opening i was thinking the tails could be used for stitching the facing in place and i wanted to preshrink it before that wrong the tails will wrap around anything and get entangled nothing good happens here i should have known this because it s happened before but i thought if i told you maybe i d remember for next time anyway i sorted it out and it s good so happy with how this turned out the fit is perfect i know i made out like this was an old school drop shoulder but i did say with modifications maybe i should clarify what i mean by old school drop shoulder that shapeless rectangle with 4 inch ease here s what i did instead of that big rectangle with the neckline cut out i sloped the side seam line to make it slightly wider at the hemline which i wanted to be mid thigh the width at bust is bust measurement no extra sloped the shoulder line by 5 cm and added a little 5 cm triangle to the top of the sleeve it fits nicely at the bust without that extra bulk at the underarm the sleeve is just right not too oversized and i love it the back is still stark white though posted by mary anne oger at 10 15 am 1 comment tuesday november 12 2024 not the c word that s crochet in case you were wondering i m crochet impaired but i ve got plenty of crochet look trims totally done on the machine at my fingertips so for me a trim done on the machine is what i m looking for by my definition a trim edging here is to finish off the open stitches make sure it doesn t roll back or up when you don t want it to and for it to look good on the sleeve cuff edge i chose one of my all time favs xoxo 33 from my booklet band practise it uses every other needle manual tuck with an rtr remove turn rehang to make a wider than stockinette band that doesn t restrict the width of the cuff i usually end up pushing up my sleeves to elbow length and the extra width allows for that here for the bottom hems i went with that new ish one 154 me cozy variation that i put on the pink one row tuck hoodie https knitwords blogspot com 2023 05 pinkie html i had almost forgot about it my seaming uses my franky seaming method https knitwords blogspot com 2021 04 deja vu html posted by mary anne
