Interweave KnitsSummer 2017的目錄

Dear Reader, Summer is the season for knitting. Oh wait, no it’s not. Not if you’re a hardcore knitter like me, who loves nothing better than working on a wool sweater or accessory for winter. Cold is a knitter’s greatest companion; without it, we’re left to ply our needles in air-conditioned rooms for months. I’m going to be honest—I personally find wearing knits in the dead of summer unbearable, no matter what “breathable” fiber they’re made of. Give me wool and winter! I know some of you will be upset by these sentiments. Some of you love knitting with cottons, linens, and other plant fibers (and some of you need to use them), which I respect—to each their own.

This is the third cruise Ann has partnered with Cascade Yarns on, and each one has been a success, with repeat cruisers…

In the Italian cast-on method, two strands of working yarn are interlocked when stitches are placed on the needle, and no waste yarn is needed. The yarn is tensioned over the index finger and thumb of the left hand, as for the long-tail cast-on method. Note: In these instructions, the slipknot counts as the first purl stitch, and Steps 1 and 2 are repeated to continue the 1x1 rib pattern. If you want the rib pattern to begin with a knit stitch, count the slipknot as the first knit stitch (instead of the first purl stitch) and begin the repeated steps with Step 2. Leaving a tail as for long-tail cast-on, make a slipknot on the right needle (counts as the first purl stitch). Insert thumb and index finger between…
