Wedding Gown. Need Help!

Knitting4Hope — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 17:38:56 GMT

I found a pattern for a wedding gown that came from the Summer 2003 Issue of Interweave Knits, but the picture isn't very clear. I don't want to make a wedding dress that I don't like. Does anyone have a good picture or can you tell me where to get that issue? Thank you.

Interweave Knits Magazine winter 2006

frozenone — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 05:24:44 GMT

Hi there, I am a disabled person who is wheelchair bound and reside in Australia. I have desperately been trying to obtain a new or second hand copy of the 2006 Interweave Knits Magazine Winter issue with the Nantucket Jacket pattern in it. I don't have the necessary requirements to purchase it from Ravelry or Interweave as it is in American dollars. I am looking for an outlet in Australia so I can use $ and cents. Is there anyone in Australia who can steer me in the right direction. Thank you Robyn NSW Australia.

Need help on Marian Tunic from Spring 2013 Issue

beldridge — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 23:51:44 GMT

Hello all!

I am a bit confused about the openwork portion of the Marian Tunic in the Spring 2013 Interweave issue. Specifically, I am not quite understanding how to do the LLI and RLI because they are on a wrong side row (that is, the stitch underneath is a purl bump, not a knitted v). Am I misunderstanding something? How should this be properly done?

I am very excited about this project, so it would be great if someone could help me so I can get going soon!

Thanks!

help regarding Petit Four Pullover-IK fall 2012

ruthmel1 — Tue, 01 Jan 2013 17:19:21 GMT

Hi all,

please can someone help me to do the drawn up stitch for the Petit four pullover? I dont think the instructions make it very clear. it keeps talking about picking up the main colour in the 5th row. but the 5th row is a contrast colour stitch. does it mean 5 rows below the one you're on? I've had a few practices but am really stuck with this.

any help would be gratefully received.

Where to get the Zaol Pattern?

Jennifer Earle — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 12:12:28 GMT

Not sure this is really the forum to ask in, but leafing through the Fall issue of Interweave Knits, I fell in love with the Zaol sweater illustration on page 73. Does anyone know anything about its availability? Any information appreciated, with thanks. Jennifer

Worth Avenue Cardigan - Knitscene summer magazine, special issue

nrc1940 — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 15:55:05 GMT

I have knitted this sweater and have started on the lace edging. Are there any errors in the lace pattern? I'm having some problems even though I've verified stitch count.

Help needed with reading Purslane Beret pattern in Fall 2012 issue of Knitscene

NovelKnit — Sun, 16 Sep 2012 21:57:03 GMT

I'm having trouble understanding how to read the graphic pattern for the beret. I understand the CO8 stiches but when the instructions say "Work Rows 1-9 of hat" and the pattern graphic starts with just 1 knit stitch on what looks like 3 different rounds, I'm confused. I've never knit a top down hat before but I like the idea. Help please? Thanks!

Woven Rain Hat, Interweave Knits Fall 2012, page 93

St. Blaise — Sun, 16 Sep 2012 16:46:56 GMT

I've ordered the yarn to make a couple of these hats; and while waiting for it to arrive I thought I'd practice with some leftover yarn. So naturally I'm stumped from the start and I'm hoping someone here might help me. I will quote the instruction:

"1-cord CO; CO 3 sts. Row 1 K1f&b, k2, do not turn; sl 3 sts to left needle -- 1st inc'd. Rep Row 1, adding 1 st to right needle every row, until there are 4 fewer sts on right needle than total required number of CO sts. Next row K1f&b, k2 -- 1 st inc'd"

Well, the required number of cast on stitches was 3. So am I to understand that the instructions are to repeat row 1 until there of 4 fewer stitches on the right needle than 3??? I've never been much good at math; but I've never seen a pattern go in to negative numbers.

Where have I gone wrong? Thank you in advance.........

Seaglass Shell

hallgato — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 23:14:23 GMT

Hey, everybody! I'm a new poster here. I'm knitting the Seaglass Shell from Interweave Summer 2012, and I'm stuck on the lace panel. I'm still new at reading lace charts, so the instructions here confused me. At the end of the Shape Waist sections, it says "Work 1 WS row." Does this mean to just purl that row or to work the next row in the Rivulet Lace pattern? In the next sections, it often says to "Work 3 rows even." Again, does this mean to just knit and purl or do I continue the lace chart? I appreciate the help!

Farmer's Market Cardigan by Connie Chang Chinchio Fall 2009

knitnanny10 — Wed, 11 Jul 2012 16:48:34 GMT

I just wanted to share that I completed this sweater for one of my students. She was having difficulty with the pattern and she asked my to knit it for her.

I did do a couple of things differently, the biggest one concerned the collar and pocket trim. It was to be knit separately and then sewn on...however, I knit mine and attached as I went saving fitting time and of course, the dreaded sewing it on.

I also re-wrote the pattern for my student because she was confused by so many of "at the same time" and "next row" without giving the row a number. But even with the re-write, she was unable to complete it.

I would love to submit a photo of the sweater...to whom should it be submitted.

Thanks,

Fat Needles

BeachNanna — Wed, 04 Jul 2012 11:21:28 GMT

In a fit of enthusiasm about 20 years ago I bought a pair of 20mm nedles to knit something challenging/exciting with. Problem is I can't remember what it was. I have a feeling it may have been something lacy like a shawl.

Can anyone offer any inspiration other than bags etc. and where to get patterns?

Thanks

Help please with merino lace socks by Anne Woodbury (favorite socks book)?

alinecatherine — Fri, 29 Jun 2012 08:36:20 GMT

Hello everyone!

I am trying to knit these socks but now i am stuck at the start of the heel flap. I have moved the 3 sts to needle 2 and now see that my 1st row of the heel chart is a WS. Do i knit this row as a WS and if this is the case How to do SSk or K2tog. My guess is this 1st row has to be a RS. How do i get it to be a RS?

There is something wrong there so I cant go further with pattern. Could someone help?

I just finished browsing through this issue and I had to write and compliment you on both the well-written articles and the beautiful patterns. It made me want to re-read all the JA novels and knit some of those gorgeous garments at the same time. Congratlations on an excellent publication. I hope there are more to come.

Summer 2012 Planche Vest

mamxmc — Fri, 25 May 2012 14:51:27 GMT

I'm to the point where I start shaping the keyhole. The directions state: Inc round: Work in patt to 1st st before m, * yada yada yada* work in patt to end. Two stitch increase. Then knit around, repeat the two rows again; four stitch increase.

The question is, WHICH marker? The work now has four markers, evenly spaced. Obviously it must be the center of the piece, but is the cast on spot, beginning of each round the front or back? Because I have added a stripe to the bottom ribbing, there is that "jig" where each round changes, and I would prefer that go in the back.

Who has made this vest? Any tips?

Thanks

Blume Hat published in Knitscene Fall 2010

akfish — Fri, 11 May 2012 16:10:30 GMT

I am having a bit of aprehension with the front notched edge. I am not sure how to finish this hat. It says to pick up the stitches in the notched edge then join in the round but do I join it in the round with the notched part only or join with the rest of the hat edging confused... Can I find a place to explain this a bit? thank you

Interweave Knits Winter 2011 poor picture quality

liisant — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 21:13:58 GMT

Has anyone else got this beef? I just got the newest issue and the first 4 patterns in the "Knit Bespoke" section seem like the pictures have been photographed through a dirty lens. They are so fuzzy, the details are lost. They appear to be nice patterns but I'll have to read the patterns through before I make up my mind. The ads have better photo quality to them. Also, don't photograph a dark coloured article in front of a dark background. Like Fauna pullover or bobble and eyelet cowl . Difficult to see, unless you're in front of a window.

Or is it the poor paper quality? The paper in this magazine is starting to resemble tissue. I guess its their way to force us all to buy ebooks or get our subscriptions by email. And I paid 7.99 Can. for it.

This used to be the best knitting mag on the market, but now I like the British ones better. The styles are better and patterns are more errorfree. Before I even try a pattern, I have to go on Ravelry and see if anyone has had problems with it. Or to the IK Corrections page.

Spring 2012 Lace Blouse

juli.wright@yahoo.com — Fri, 04 May 2012 16:07:09 GMT

I am new to using crochet thread so I had a hard time finding a source for the Anchor "Pellicano" cotton thread used in this pattern. Come to find out it is a UK/US translation issue. Here is the link I found by the author regarding the source: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/lace-blouse-2

She recommends pearl crochet cotton #8 as a substitute unless you want to purchase from the UK of course.

Knits Pattern latest issue: substitute for Road to China Light?

Jennifer@5 — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 12:03:47 GMT

For some reason, love the hat in the latest knits but the yarn Road to China Light is like $19.00+ a skein at 6 or so skeins...well that becomes a $100 plus hat...of course the yarn is VERY nice (alpaca, cashmere, camel, and silk) but does anyone have a less expensive option to offer?

Thanks,

Jennifer

Leif Slipover - Waist section question

perisparasol — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 03:48:52 GMT

I've been working on the Leif Slipover, Size 35 1/2. I've just finished the Lower Body Chart (Row 31). The next section is: "Shape Waist". It says to "Break yarn. Slip 22 stitches from R needle to L needle to arrive at L side maker. Rejoin yarn.

So I have been knitting this as a "flat piece" on circular needles (knitting back and forth rather than "in the round").

I'm presuming that the "Shape Waist" instructions are intended to have the knitter begin to knit "in the round" in order to knit the Waist chart section.

Several questions:

1. Is one slipping stiches from R to L with the RS facing the knitter or the WS facing the knitter (i.e. is the "outside" of the round the RS or WS)?

2. Why does it say to "break the yarn" and then "rejoin the yarn"? This doesn't seem necessary to begin knitting this "in the round". . .

3. re: the "arrive at L side marker": I don't understand what this means.

I know that the point is to join the 2 front sections together, but the instructions are confusing.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Lace Swatches from latest Interweave Knits Magazine

Nimbrethil — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 21:33:35 GMT

Hello everyone,

I've been a member of Knitting Daily for a while, but this is the first time I've used the forums.

Anyway, in the latest issue of Interweave Knits, specifically the Spring/April issue, I'm totally in love with most of the pattern swatches from the article "Swatching the Lace Universe" by Deborah Newton. But I've noticed that there are no patterns listed for any of the swatches.

I don't know whether these are open source patterns that one could find in any pattern book on lace, or if these are copyrighted by Newton, but I'd dearly love to have the patterns to some if not all of these.

Could anyone more experienced with patterns possibly tell me what each stitch pattern is called so that I could look it up myself, or tell me where I could find a source to purchase them from? I'm guessing that if Newton designed the patterns herself, they're available to purchase somewhere, through a book or possibly online as individual patterns.

Any help on this matter would be most appreciated. The ones I'm most interested in are Swatch A on page 22, Swatches C and D on page 23, as well as number 2, also on page 23, and H, I, and J on page 24.

Thanks in advance, everyone!
