The Perfect Kickstarter for Lovers of Knitting and Role Playing Games

yarnia, the knitting pattern role playing gameThere are a lot of geeky knitters out there, so I couldn’t resist sharing the Kickstarter for Yarnia, a role-playing-game based knitting pattern system.

The idea, as designer Tania Richter explains it, is that you role up a character and begin your knitting quest, with different parts of the pattern determined by your dice rolls.

The Kickstarter is already fully funded with a couple of weeks to go as I write this, so if it’s something you’re interested in supporting you should check it out. At $30 you can get a digital copy of the book, with higher levels getting you a physical copy, a yarn bag of holding and other goodies.

This sounds like a lot of fun and a great way to combine knitting and geekery of other sorts. I’ll be interested to see how it comes out.

As a knitter, I have a few tips to share with you when it comes to working with the Eyelet Stitch.

First and foremost, it is important to have a clear understanding of the stitch pattern you will be using. Make sure to read the pattern and familiarize yourself with the instructions before starting.

When working with yarn overs, it’s important to make sure that you are not twisting the yarn when you make the yarn over. This will ensure that the hole created is clean and even.

Pay attention to your tension when working the yarn overs. If your tension is too loose, the holes will be too big, and if it’s too tight, the holes will be too small.

Use a stitch marker to help you keep track of where the eyelets are in your pattern. This will make it easier to identify and make any corrections if needed.

Use a contrasting-colored yarn or thread to weave through the holes of the eyelet stitches after the work is finished. This will help to define the eyelets and make them more visible.

Practice makes perfect! As with any new technique, the more you work with the eyelet stitch, the more comfortable and confident you will become with it.

By following these tips, you’ll be able to create beautiful and neat Eyelet Stitch designs in your knitting projects. Happy Knitting!
