Crocheting and Knitting

8

When you stop part way across a row and turn back toward the other end, you create a short row. By carefully planning your short rows, you can make your knitting take on a three-dimensional shape. For example, short rows can be used to make the heel of a sock or to ease a sweater at the back of the neck or at the bust.

The problem with turning back in the middle of a row is that it leaves an unsightly hole in your knitting, even when you return and knit all of the stitches in the next row. There are three popular solutions to this hole problem. The most popular of those is to wrap a stitch before turning, and then pick up that wrap the next time you knit the wrapped stitch.

It sounds much more complicated than it really is. Check knittinghelp.com which has video clips of techniques like this. Look for instructions on "short rows" and "wrapped stitches" and you should get the picture.

yeah of course they do do u think little children would sit still all day niting shreddies????

You size a pattern by crocheting a sample square using the recommended hook and yarn. The pattern will provide the dimensions for you. Compare the squares, if sample is larger or smaller than the pattern specifies, you can adjust hook size, yarn or tension to more closely match. It is always a good idea to do a sample square before starting a pattern. This way you can control the size of the final product and ensure there is enough yarn to finish the project. The Crochet Guild and the Craft Yarn Council both host crochet tutorials and helpful resources on their websites. The links are below.

Knitting Factory was created in 1987.

In USA, the size is C. In Europe, 2.75 mm. (mm is millimeters) This is a very small hook, but they get smaller.

Knitted comes from the verb knit which means to seam together and bind. This is usually done with needles. In a different context, knitted can also mean bound together and close in terms of a relationship between close relatives and friends.

The American magazine "Crochet!" is available for $6 per issue or on subscription for $10 per year (3 issues). There are many other magazines dealing with the subject ranging in price from $3 upwards.

Just skip that square in the chart and continue with the next stitch. "No stitch" blocks are put in as place holders for the chart and actually have nothing to do with the actual knitting. Usually when you increase in a row you do an equal number of decreases to balance it out. But some times, especially in lace, there will be a different number of stitches left on the needles at the ends of various rows. To compensate for this, charts (which give the same number of stitches for each row), are written with black squares showing where the chart does not match the actual fabric being knit. You might as well imagine those black squares are holes in the chart and pretend you don't even see them.

5314 / den ==> Nm

Eg : Denier - 150 D . Convert to metric.

Ans : 5314 / 150 ==> 35.4 ==> approx of 30s-35s Count

woven, I'm pretty sure.

Most people knit a gauge swatch.

It depends on what you would like to give. I would suggest looking at "crochet pattern central.com" for any pattern.

I would suggest that you take a look in the Crochet Pattern Central website and take a look around and there is a page for "Baby Items."

That means the number of stitches in the row repeat pattern is a multiple of 3.

Multiple is the number you come up with when you multiply that number by any whole number. For example, if your number is 3, you can multiply 3 by 50. The answer of 150 would be your foundation chain for a project that uses a multiple of 3.

If your pattern multiple is 3 + 1. Then you work the multiple as above and add 1 to that number. In the above example, the resulting foundation chain would be 151.

50 is just a sample number. You can use any number. The designer gives the multiple generally so that you can adapt the size of the project. You might like to make a scarf, lapghan, or afghan out of the specific stitch combinations of your pattern. For a scarf you might use 3 x 7 and start with a foundation chain of 21. For a lapghan you might go with 3 x 30 and start with 90. Those are just examples and not firm numbers. The numbers you choose will depend on other factors besides the multiple.

That most likely means, "slip."

Impossible to tell without context.

To ply a gondola means to navigate or operate a gondola, which is a traditional flat-bottomed boat used in the canals of Venice, Italy. Gondoliers skillfully maneuver these boats through the waterways, offering rides to tourists and locals alike. The act involves not only rowing but also engaging with passengers and showcasing the beauty of the surrounding scenery. Overall, plying a gondola combines artistry, tradition, and hospitality.

red is negative :( green is positive:)

The broad category is "arts and crafts" with the subcategory of "sewing." Knitting and crocheting are considered hand crafts.

Probably "spaces". As in skip spaces.

Animal fibers used for yarn include: sheep's wool, llama, alpaca, goat (mohair and cashmere), rabbit (angora), moths (silk), buffalo, bison, camel, and even dog and cat hair (called chiengora).
