New Giveaway Ivy League Vest….

December 10, 2009 by Terrye

ivyYay! Don’t you just love free stuff? I do. It rocks!

This time it’s by Eunny Jang from Knitting Daily. What is it? What is it?

Well, patience, my pets. It’s the DVD: Introduction to Fair Isle: The Ivy League Vest.  Learn simple to advanced techniques with this DVD.

Eunny demos the Progressive Project: the Ivy League Vest, a Fair Isle colorwork pattern designed by Eunny. Knit along with Eunny on this modern design with classic construction elements. The first lesson will be a 2-color corrugated ribbing (Episode 307), the second lesson in knitting in the round with the colorwork pattern (Episode 308), and finally steeking the vest for a perfect fit (Episode 309).

And in return, I want to know what your favorite Interweave Knitting pattern is.

Giveaway ends Friday, Dec 18! Looking for more Vest patterns to knit? Check out these Vest Knitting patterns on Etsy.

    Oh, excellent. I’m working on the fair isle vest kit from Knit Picks and starting to get anxious that I’m doing everything wrong. I’ve been carefully reading Eunny’s steaking tutorials, but I’d love a walk through the whole project.

    Interweave has so many great patterns, but one that I’ve been excited about for a while is the Apres Surf Hoodie — I’ll need something a little less intense after all this colorwork.

    Eunny Jang’s patterns usually rank very highly amongst my favorites. I’ve been in love with this vest (and her Venezia pullover) forever but been afraid to attempt the fair isle; I’m also in love with the knee-high version of her Entrelac Socks.

    I am going to second the dumpling bag! I love to embroidary. A great way to combine both of my obsessions.

    picking one is really hard, but I like the Snowflake Scarf. I’m also looking forward to making the Classic Camel Vest for my husband next year.

    I agree with Corvus. I LOVE the Ivy League and Venezia. I also adore the Manchester Jacket, though it will never work on my body type. Sigh…

    Choosing just one is tough! How about the Koolhaas hat by Jared Flood?

Bookmark Knitting Patterns

It’s always a good time for a bookmark, and even more so as we start thinking about back to school time. Reading is more fun when you have a pretty bookmark. That’s just science. 

Plus bookmarks are fast, portable, and a fun way to try out different skills. So let’s get busy with some bookmark knitting patterns!

This set of three bookmark knitting patterns from Lucky Fox Knits includes one worked in garter stitch, an easy eyelet lace and one with eyelets running down the center. I love the little I-cord for the tassel!

Add a simple textured stitch to a bookmark to make it a little more fun. This one from Franciscan Gypsy is called the paper towel bookmark, and I’ll bet you can pick it out above just from that description. This one calls for fingering weight yarn. 

Another pretty allover pattern is this slip-stitch lace design from Handy Little Me. Inspired by Taylor Swift’s Speak Now, it’s a sweet little design worked in fingering weight yarn. This one is a little extra fun because it has two tassels. 

I love this undulating wheat ear bookmark pattern from KMKnits Shop. It’s an interesting stitch pattern perfect for advanced beginner knitters, and it uses sport weight yarn. 

A lot of knit bookmarks have a bit of lace, and they’re actually a great way to pick up some lace knitting skills on a tiny project that doesn’t have to be perfect. I like this lacy one from Val Knitting Shop, which is inspired by daisy petals. It calls for fingering weight yarn. 

The Jasmine Bookmark from Valentina Fezova-Georgieva is another pretty lace pattern that’s a little more complex but still totally doable. It calls for fingering weight yarn and is available on Ravelry.

If you want a more literal inspiration of flowers in your bookmark pattern, try the pair of floral bookmarks form Warm and KnittedS. One has a little rosette and the other just has leaves. They look like I-cord but they’re actually worked flat on two needles and will stitch up in no time for a last minute gift or to tuck into your latest read.
