Crocheting and Knitting

Polyamide is usually known as nylon.

This varies with the thickness of the yarn. A conversion from weight to length should be given on the ball band. For worsted weight yarn 400 yd would be about 227 g.

this is a German word meaning working with your hands or crafts like needle point, knitting and crocheting, also embroidery.

I think that Hagrid can knit all he wants, as long as he doesn't make me wear any of the things he knits; they're huge.

If you're trying to suggesting that Hagrid is gay, then that's a plot point even JK Rowling doesn't know about- she's denied it in every interview up to date.

I think you are referring to the phrase "Knit one, Purl two".

Start with an even number of stitches. Knit one, purl one. Repeat this alternating pattern across the row. Repeat the same pattern on each following row. The result is a stretchy fabric ideal for cuffs, waist bands, and collars.

That probably means, "knit to marker."

slip markers simply means moving your marker from one needle to the another one.

If you wanted to know how many ounces or pounds you are applying you can use a spring scale that has a hook on the end of it.

Here is a web site that has various spring scales for sale. There are other spring scales that have different ranges of force that can be used.

Knitting is formed in one or a combination of two basic forms: flat or in the round. Flat knitting is typically done on straight needles and circular knitting is typically done on circular needles or double point needles.

When people think of knitting in the round, typically they mean knitting a tube shape, such as a sock or hat. But it is also possible to knit actual circles instead of tubes, such as when one makes circular shawls, table cloths, or doilies. Whether knitting a tube or a flat circle, the technique is the same. The difference is that in tube knitting few if any increases or decreases are made and in knitting a flat circle increases must be made such that as the radius of the circle doubles the number of stitches on the needle also double. Mathematically, it looks like this: c = 2 * pi * r, where c is the circumference and r is the radius. The ratio of the circumference to the radius must always remain 2 * pi or the piece will not remain flat.

Knitting can be made more elastic by using stretchy stitches such as ribbing. Ribbing is typically 1x1 or 2x2, but many other types of ribbing are possible, and many non-ribbing stitches are also stretchy.

1x1 ribbing is formed by knitting one stitch and purling the next. Repeat these two stitches to the end of the row. On following rows, "knit the knits and purl the purls." This simply means you should look at the stitch you are about to work and determine whether it looks like a knit or like a purl. Remember that a purl is simply the back side of a knit stitch. Knit stitches look like the letter "V," while purl stitches look like dashes ("-").

2x2 ribbing is very similar to 1x1 ribbing except that you knit two stitches and purl the next two stitches. Again repeat to the end of the row, and again "knit the knits and purl the purls."

you sew with it by puting it through the cloth where the rip is on ether side do it close and do it tight

This depends on the size of yarn and needles you are using and the size of blanket you want to produce. Knit a gauge sample using the yarn and needles you plan to use for the project. Use the instructions on the yarn label to estimate how many stitches you need to cast on for a four-inch gauge square. Then measure your square and calculate how many stitches you really have per inch. Be sure to measure across four inches and divide by four for the most accurate count. Measuring just one inch can lead to large differences between what you plan and what you get.

Once you know how many stitches to the inch you are knitting, figure out how many inches wide you want your blanket. Multiply the width of the blanket by the number of stitches per inch and you'll know how many stitches to cast on for your blanket.

Many people resist making a gauge square because they want to start the project right away, not waste time knitting a square they'll just throw away later. However, gauge can vary so much that it really is important to check before starting a project. I have socks on the needles right now at 15 stitches to the inch and a stole at 6 stitches to the inch. There are almost three times as many stitches to the inch in my socks than in my stole. If I used my stole gauge for my socks, I'd have socks three times larger than my feet! So take the time to check your gauge and save heartbreak later on from having a project not turn out the way you'd like.

It depends on the type of irregularity. The most common is called a slub. Slubs are short sections of the yarn that are wider than the areas on either side and are either not twisted or not twisted as much as the rest of the yarn.

There are also snarls, knops and other irregularities that can be intentionally added for artistic effect.

It sounds as if there are 18 in each round. Look at row 6. It will probably tell you to increase or decrease.

It simply means turn the work over so you can start working in the other direction.

Slip stitch to the 3rd chain you made when you began the row.

If it's similar to the knifty knitter then think of it as a giant version of corking. You wrap yarn around the pegs then take the bottom stitch off. That is the basic stitch, there are other stitches out there you can check out you tube and there are books on how to use the knifty knitter.
