Sommaire pour Summer 2020 de Interweave Knits

Dear Reader, Colorado is a place where winter spans October through May and that has 300 days of sunshine a year. Originally from Kansas, I find this pairing to be nearly impossible. Yet this is my seventh year living this reality. I tire of the winter after about the first month, and I have to remind myself it won’t really feel like summer until June (got to plan for that annual Mother’s Day weekend snow, people!). But once June hits, Colorado is a blissful dream for three full months. Despite the seemingly endless winters, I am fortunate and thankful to live in a place where I can knit outside comfortably all summer. I knit lying by the pool. I knit relaxing on a blanket in my backyard, or in the…

Practicing a few good habits will make it easy to work even the trickiest lace pattern. • Be sure that you can easily read and keep your place in the instructions. Enlarge charts and, if necessary, transcribe texts or charts into terminology or symbols that work for you. • Use a magnetic strip, ruler, or sticky note just above the row you are working. Doing so helps your eyes focus on that row while allowing you to check previously knitted rows as a reference point. • Create good working conditions: Increase lighting, minimize distractions, and avoid knitting when you are tired. • Check your work often: Count stitches, use markers liberally, and visually compare your knitting against any available charts and sample photographs. • Read the pattern aloud as you…
