Twisted rib is a fancy variation of the 1x1 or 2x2 rib. On the RS row, you knit into the back loop of each knit stitch. On the WS row, you purl into the back loop of each purl stitch. On the front (RS), this creates columns of little knit stitches that look closer to a braid than the ordinary ‘v’ shape of a knit stitch. Twisted rib also makes a firmer fabric than a basic rib. The knit stitches are easy to work, as you simply insert the RH needle into the back loop of the stitch and knit it. Working a purl stitch through the back of the loop is awkward, however, as the RH needle has to be twisted from the back through the stitch first. Because…

Knitting knowledge and expertise is gained through talking to likeminded knitters, working different patterns, doing personal research and comparing notes. It would be impossible to know every technique and every hint to help you along your knitting journey, because that is how and when you pick up the hints you need. Learning is often driven by the requirements of the end result. Being a member of a knitting tribe or guild group builds friendship and camaraderie that is invaluable in many aspects of your life. Kim and Robynn are quilting and knitting buddies who live in different states. They talk knitting all the time - sharing ideas, their latest knitting projects, details of indie dyers, new patterns, techniques, internet links and YouTube videos. Here is some of their ‘wisdom’. 1…

Instagram: @unwindcraftcafe | Facebook: @UnwindCraftCafe | Website: www.unwindcraftcafe.com.au We all know the feeling of isolation and now cherish community connection more than ever.

Knit, crochet, dressmaking – nothing was beyond her. Although I knitted and crocheted from an early age, it was as a solitary act. The real benefits came when I added…

Humble? A quick scan through the years actually reveals that the tea cosy may never have been particularly humble. While it may have been a basic way of keeping tea warm in a pot, the variety of designs over the years has shown an amazing array of creativity. By Victorian times when tea cosies became a vital part of social afternoon teas among the middle classes, they were far from humble. And now, while still retaining their functionality, tea cosies of 2022 could be better described as works of art. Many of the earliest tea cosies were sewn (some from remnants of brocade) and often embroidered by hand. These days they are more likely to be knitted or crocheted with unique designs and proudly displayed at agricultural shows and Tea…
