As we know, all knitted fabrics are made using two basic stitches, knit and purl. Welcome to the wonderful world of knitting! Even if you've been here for a while, there is always something new about this most fascinating craft!
In spinning, the fibers are twisted so that the yarn resists breaking under tension; the twisting may be done in either direction, resulting in an Z-twist or S-twist yarn. More resilient yarns are more forgiving of irregularities in tension; highly twisted yarns are sometimes difficult to knit, whereas untwisting yarns can lead to split stitches, in which not all of the yarn is knitted into a stitch. Lace may be illustrated briefly with two characteristics:
There are old favourites such as books and magazines. It can be a humbling experience to the perfectionist. If you have a mesh sweater dryer then lay it out carefully shaping the sweater to its original proportions.
More complicated techniques permit large fields of colour (intarsia, for example), busy small-scale patterns of color (such as Fair Isle), or both (double knitting and slip-stitch colour, for example). The knitting of new stitches occurs only at the tapered ends, and needles with lighted tips have been sold to allow knitters to knit in the dark.
Patterns for knitting provide a strong outline and foundation for starting any new knitting project. To do a yarn-over after a knit stitch, just bring your yarn across your work from the back to the front.
