Knitting Daily Series 400

February 20, 2010 by Terrye

This might be Knitting Daily’s best season yet.

In show #401 the Expert Knitting Daily Squad shows you that you can learn and practice new techniques easily and fearlessly on baby items.

Eunny shows us how to “unknit” or tink and reassures saying “It’s only yarn!” And in their “Fearless Knitting” segment they cover from the top down cardigans and pullovers and diagonal knitting.

Show #402 shows how to take simple knits and make them special with techniques such as embroidery and covering buttons. Shay is on location discussion “Fashion Forward” knitting using classic and timeless patterns, and Lily Chin discusses reversible cables.

Show #403 is entitled Knit and Purl Magic. This show blows out the stops with Eunny demonstrating differences betweeen Continental and English knitting (or picking and throwing).  She also shows how different combinations of these two different stitches (knit and purl) are used to create the beautiful textures in cables, ribbings and basketweave stitches. The “Fearless Knitting” segment discusses garter stitch in the round and mitering corners.

Stay tuned, yes, there will be a giveaway, but right now, I’m going back to watch more shows! If you don’t want to wait for the giveaway, this excellent series can be had right now, in the Interweave Store: http://www.interweavestore.com/Knitting/Video/Knitting-Daily-TV-Series-400.html

Practice Colorwork on a Cute Knit Bunny

Sometimes I feel like knitters get intimidated to try new things because they think they need to start with a big project. Your first time working in the round doesn’t need to be a sock, and your first colorwork doesn’t need to be a sweater, for example. You can find little projects that use the skills you want to learn to build your confidence before you move on to something that requires more time commitment.

This adorable knit bunny, for example.

The colorwork bunny from Knit Picks was designed by Amy Munson and is a kind of bowling pin shaped bunny complete with a knit hat, contrasting inner ears and a little stranded colorwork on its body. Note that the ears are attached the the hat not the bunny, but you could stitch them to the bunny if you’d rather.

It’s worked from the bottom up and also has a tiny pompom tail you can’t see in the picture but it’s a really cute touch. There are a variety of little fair isle patterns to choose from to make the best bunny for you.

The bunny comes out about 8 inches tall (or just over 20 cm) and use several colors to complete the colorwork, depending on the design you choose.

You can purchase the pattern by itself from Knit Picks, or make a kit that includes sport weight yarn in all the colors you need for your creation. There are gray and brown options for the main body of the bunny, but of course if you’re using your own yarn you can make it whatever color you like.

Once you’ve tried colorwork (maybe also working in the round and shaping if those are skills you haven’t used before) in a little project like this you’ll be ready to take on something bigger in no time.

Check out the pattern on Knit Picks.
