How to knit Heart Nupps - Tutorial
Nupps are lovely little clusters of stitch used traditionally in Estonian Lace knitting, and Heart Nupps take this idea one step further. We knit lots of stitches into three stitches, making a “clump” of stitches, and then on the next row we purl them together in two separate groups with a single purl stitch in between, making a heart shape. Here’s our step by step guide, together with some hints for making this tricky stitch a little easier! Step 1: before you even start knitting, think about what yarn you’re going to use. A smooth, fine, light coloured yarn will be the easiest, although a darker colour is still manageable. In this version, fifteen stitches are knitted from three, and the thicker your yarn, the trickier this is to achieve. If you’re knitting in a 4ply yarn, you could work thirteen stitches from three and then on the wrong side work p6tog, p1, p6tog. If you’re using an even thicker yarn you might need to work even fewer stitches, but the fewer stitches you work, the less “heart like” it’ll look. Read More... |
How to knit 1 over 1, 2 over 2 and 3 over 3 stitches - Tutorial
These stitches have a beautiful braided look to them that’s just stunning. I’ve got a couple of patterns that use these stitches due for release in the coming months so I thought I’d do a quick tutorial showing how they’re knitted. The one over one stitch is used in my Ae Fond Kiss shawl. It’s worked with a row of elongated stitches before and after to really accentuate it. My 1, 2, 3 Cowl uses 1 over 1, 2 over 2 and 3 over 3 stitches in sequence. All of these stitches need a set up row. We need a little extra wiggle room in order to be able to lift the stitches up and over each other, and for this we need to work extra yarn overs in the set up row, and then drop them on the next row. Depending on the pattern, this might be a wrong-side or a right-side row. Read More...

Tiny Hoop 1 - Knit your own Artwork
My Tiny Hoop 1 pattern is live! A beautiful piece of textile artwork that knits up in around an hour. It combines short rows, lace stitches and open space to make a gorgeous piece of hoop art. Using less than 30m of laceweight yarn, this is perfect for using up odds and ends from a larger lace project. I’ve always thought of lace knitting as an art form. A light and delicate shawl with complex stitch pattern, knitted with skill over many hours, certainly seems to meet the definition of artwork- it’s juts wearable too. I’m taking this a little bit further with my Tiny Hoop series and delving into the world of fibre arts. I’ve used Meadow Yarn’s Bray Lace for this piece, in colourway “A Whisper Woven Through It”, it’s a handdyed silk mohair blend that I also used for my Suilven Cowl. The shine of the silk and halo of mohair is the perfect yarn for showing off the delicate lace stitches. Any laceweight yarn would work well though! I’m all for a bit of anti-consumerism and this is a great pattern for using up what you’ve already got in your stash. Read More... |
