    2015 is the year I intend to master brioche knitting! And I also look forward to learning other new skills, such as
    those shown on the Season 6 DV Ds that I hope to win.

    I would love to win this. I own my own Crochet business, but need to brush up on my knitting.

    I want to learn to knit with beads – I just bought Laura Nelkins’ Craftsy class during their Christmas sale. I’m guessing the section on necklaces in Knit and Crochet Now Season 6 would have some pointers too.

    I’m just learning to crochet and knit, so this would be super helpful! I want to make some hats and shawls for next Christmas!

    Hi,

    That scarf featured in the photo on top is the neatest thing I’ve seen in a long time!

    I would love to improve my sock knitting skills in the new year.

    Some of my most treasured items from childhood include my mother’s afghans – I crochet but after inheriting a vast number of knitting needles in many sizes, I’m determined to expand my knitting talents!

    I would love to be able to read instructions in crochet I can make things on my own but I would love to follow patters I can knit and have no problem following knitting patterns love this show.

  11. Donna Mcintyre says

    December 28, 2014 at 6:10 pm

    I definitely need help with my knitting skills!

  12. Susan says

    December 29, 2014 at 2:21 am

    I love to crochet but I struggle with knitting. This could be a real help!

    I really want to tackle double knitting in 2015. It’s a great way to use thinner yarns to make really warm items (two layers) that are neither bulky or heavy. Thanks for another great giveaway!

  15. Susan Menashe says

    December 29, 2014 at 5:12 pm

    Love learning something new! Thank you! great give-away!

    I’d like to win this for an elderly friend of ours…her memory is failing so seeing this done visually might be helpful to her. Thanks and God bless you and yours in the New Year!

    It would be great to win this as our provider does not air the channel that carries this show

    I really love the show. My PBS station only has it on once a week. I am looking for Ellen Gormley’s pattern of her white crochet kitty. The kitty pattern is an upright kitty doll that stands upright with two legs and two arms. Could you please email it to me. Thank you.

A Knit Vest to Get You Ready for Summer

I know that my posts can be read at different times of year and in different years by different people, but as I write this we’re on teh cusp of summer. And I know a lot of people don’t knit as much, and certainly don’t wear a lot of knits in the summer, but I want to encourage you to make and to wear your makes no matter the temperature.

To introduce you to the joys of summer garment knitting, I offer the Tied Vest from Lion Brand Yarn.

This easy project is great to make and wear throughout the year but it’s especially good for summer. It’s worked flat in one piece from the bottom up, mostly in stockinette stitch with a seed stitch edging. The I-cord ties are worked directly onto the garment so you don’t have to sew them on.

The project uses worsted weight yarn, and calls for a blend of cotton and hemp that’s great for warm weather.

There are eight size options, ranging from a finished chest measurement of 35 to 62.5 inches, or 89 to 159 cm. That makes it sound like it should be worn with at least a few inches of positive ease, but the pattern doesn’t specify.

The ties at the front give it a casual look and make it great to wear over a tank top or T-shirt when the weather is warm.

I also think this one would be good to knit in wool or a warmer fiber, too, to make a version you could wear more comfortably in the winter months, too. Though of course you could layer the summer version over a long-sleeved shirt and wear it throughout the year, too.

The tied vest is a free pattern available from Lion Brand. You can also purchase a kit that includes the yarn and optional needles and stitch markers if you need them.
