Indholdsfortegnelse for Winter 2017 i Interweave Knits

And in the blink of an eye winter is here once again, bringing with it wood-burning fireplaces, howling winds, creaking old beams, warm drinks in cold hands, and the timeless comfort of wool. Since I was little—and long before I picked up a pair of knitting needles—I’ve loved winter. I built snow forts with my sister and friends, ice skated on frozen ponds, went sledding on snow days, and curled up with hot chocolate by the fire after I ran inside with rosy cheeks and a runny nose. Winter is a nostalgic time, evoking images from years past. Regardless of your age, the first snow of winter is magical, and for a knitter, so is casting on the first project of our season—the knitter’s season. In this winter issue of…

Over a meal at The National Needle Arts Association (TNNA) tradeshow, Kate Gagnon Osborn and Courtney Kelley, founders of Kelbourne Woolens (the exclusive North American distributor of The Fibre Co.), piqued my interest when they mentioned a recent trip to Donegal, Ireland, to develop a new Donegal tweed. Being a tweedhead—and a lover of sheep, green mossy fields against gray skies, yarn, and anything and everything Irish—it dawned on me that Interweave Knits readers would also like to hear about Ireland and The Fibre Co.’s new yarn, Arranmore. Q Tell us about Arranmore—what it is, where it’s made, and how long it took to develop. A Arranmore is our Fall 2016 release, and it is unique to The Fibre Co. lineup. It is an Aran-weight, woolen-spun (the other lines are…

I first encountered tubular cast-ons in machine knitting, where they are quite common. In machine knitting, tubular cast-ons set stitches on the needles so that the piece can be knitted as a tube, usually with a closed bottom edge (optionally, the bottom and the left or right edge can be left open). Often, after the cast-on is complete, the top is also closed, and the knitting proceeds, not as a tube, but as a fully interlaced, flat piece of fabric. At first, I used tubular cast-ons because they were the easiest, most reliable way of getting the stitches onto the needles— then I began to appreciate their versatility. They made an attractive, stable edge. As I became more experienced, I wondered how I could duplicate my machine-knitting techniques by hand…
