Short Rows: Japanese Short Rows

February 12, 2021April 30, 2021 Heather Storta

This will be the last in this series for the time being. This week, I look at Japanese short rows. https://youtu.be/wsfFkFpvqjg This method looks really nice in stockinette stitch. In part because of the slipped stitch, and in part because of the minimal yarn used in the "wrap". Marking the thread but not wrapping keeps… Continue reading Short Rows: Japanese Short Rows

Short Rows: German Short Rows

January 22, 2021April 30, 2021 Heather Storta

This week we'll look at German short rows. I really like this technique, because it's easy to perform, easy to see where your short rows are, and easy to resolve the short rows. It isn't always the best choice for a particular fabric, but when I'm not extremely concerned about the look of the fabric… Continue reading Short Rows: German Short Rows

Short Rows: Wrap and Turn

January 15, 2021April 30, 2021 Heather Storta

Last week I posted about wrap and turn short rows in garter. But usually when wrap and turn short rows are used, we hide the wraps. Here is a video discussing these short rows, and how to hide the wraps on the different sides of the work. https://youtu.be/f0lH3lR5VWI Next week we'll look at German short… Continue reading Short Rows: Wrap and Turn

Short Rows: Wrap and Turn in Garter

January 11, 2021April 30, 2021 Heather Storta

I'm starting a series of videos on short row methods. The first video focuses on wrap and turn short rows - without picking up the wraps. This is my favorite method to use for garter stitch, since I think it looks the absolute best of all the techniques in that fabric. https://youtu.be/Wldwar2uFZw You can use… Continue reading Short Rows: Wrap and Turn in Garter

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate! I hope you have a lovely day!
I'm happy to be participating in the 11th annual Indie Design Gift-A-Long! I believe the last time I participated was 2020 (for no real reason other than the fall is a super busy time for me and signups got away from me!) But I'm back this year!
Little Women and Knitting retreat recap-- day 4, Saturday 11/11.
Little Women and Knitting retreat recap, day 3, Friday 11/10.
I promise to share more photos of the Little Women knitting retreat! I'm back home, slowly adjusting back to "normal" life, catching up on work emails. I still have to download all my photos from my camera.
I'm woefully behind on my updates, so I'm skipping a few days, but today was wonderful! We toured Ventfort Hall, and had a private Victorian tea there, then they opened Edith Wharton's manor just for us, gave us a tour and we had a couple hours to sit and knit in her drawing room there. Amazing day!
