The original was knit in a merino yarn which is soft and lightweight. It’s sproingy, wonderful to knit with and blocks beautifully. Gauge isn’t critical because the wrap can be blocked to your desired dimensions. The pattern can easily be changed to accommodate different yarn weights by adjusting the size of the knitting needles used and by working fewer or more pattern repeats horizontally and vertically. The 16 row pattern isn’t daunting; after you’ve completed a 16 row pattern, you should be able to visualize what the stitches on each row are "doing" and you can easily find your place should you lose your row count.</p><p>Approximately 24"wide x 66" long (60 cm x 170 cm) after blocking.</p><p>Yarn: 2 skeins Colinette Jitterbug (640 yards) (585.2 meters) or any merino wool that you love the feel of.</p><p>Needles: U.S. size 6 (4 mm.)</p><p>Cast on 83 sts. loosely.</p><p>Row 1 (RS): K1, k2tog, k3, *yo, k1, yo, k3, sl 1, k2tog, psso, k3; repeat from * to last 7 sts, yo, k1, yo, k3, sl 1, k1, psso, k1.</p><p>Row 2 and every alternate even numbered Row: Purl.</p><p>Row 3: K1, k2tog, k2, *yo, k3, yo, k2, sl 1, k2tog, psso, k2; repeat from * to last 8 sts, yo, k3, yo, k2, sl 1, k1, psso, k1.</p><p>Row 5: K1, k2tog, k1, *yo, k5, yo, k1, sl 1, k2tog, psso, k1; repeat from * to last 9 sts, yo, k5, yo, k1, sl 1, k1, psso, k1.</p><p>Row 7: K1, k2tog, yo, k7, *yo, sl 1, k2tog, psso, yo, k7; repeat from * to last3 sts, yo, sl 1, k1, psso, k1.</p><p>Row 9: K2, yo, k3, *sl 1, k2tog, psso, k3, yo, k1, yo, k3; repeat from * to last 8 sts, sl 1, k2tog, psso, k3, yo, k2.</p><p>Row 11: K3, yo, k2, *sl 1, k2tog, psso, k2, yo, k3, yo, k2; repeat from * to last 8 sts, sl 1, k2tog, psso, k2, yo, k3.</p><p>Row 13: K4, yo, k1, *sl 1, k2tog, psso, k1, yo, k5, yo, k1; repeat from * to last 8 sts, sl 1, k2tog, psso, k1, yo, k4.</p><p>Row 15: K5, *yo, sl 1, k2tog, psso, yo, k7; repeat from * to last 8 sts, yo, sl 1, k2tog, psso, yo, k5.</p><p>Row 16: Purl.</p><p>Repeat these 16 Rows until there's not enough yarn left to allow you to complete another 16 Row pattern, making sure to leave enough yarn for 36 strands each 10" long for the fringe. Bind off loosely.</p><p>To make fringe: Cut 36 strands of yarn, 10" (25 cm.) long. Attach these at the 9 points at each end of the shawl, by taking 2 strands, folding them in half and pulling the folded end through each point, using a crochet hook if desired. Secure the fringe, by pulling the 4 cut ends through the loop tightly.</p><p>To block, place wrap in lukewarm water until thoroughly soaked, being careful not to agitate the fibres. Place between two layers of thick towel and gently press to remove excess moisture. Stretch the wrap into the desired shape, pinning onto a flat surface and allow to dry. Weave in loose ends. Here’s a link to the Yarn Harlot’s technique. It will make the straight edges of the wrap easier to block and then all you have to do is pin the 9 points at each end.</p><p><a href="http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/archives/2005/08/23/walk_around_the_block.html">http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/archives/2005/08/23/walk_around_the_block.html</a></p><p>Abbreviations used:</p><p>sl1 - slip one stitch as if to knit</p><p>psso - pass slipped stitch over </p><p align="left"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284522153736568946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9SqIjL-7hwDUayXHPwh4zsBiN0UTujP7joW1HOcloqiUeyAmxsMtDPLc1YNw-o1OpNoNJb992y9CF8LcHV-0yz51pD8qDXnLWgvaclsqvGxutgfc9UdhUrfldKNlaZ9ZRR9SYHU8reog/s320/_20080422_0148.JPG" border="0" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjynIN3y-9Q0x0uXk1q24xYV4PLfQnYnyTVRCHwYJqyYVqDn5d5RuSRiHiaPnRlW2CH5aj02vgHqP39xldeXqZtI3Ed8n8UGSqlYdU3FOlCNb-nWXO0Ys-aR4cS55ZSP1axmRHT-IrG9vY/s1600-h/_20080422_0148.JPG"></a></p>doryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09091368335155757992noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6456673209489441583.post-77354930390063751252007-11-23T11:05:00.000-05:002007-11-23T11:10:52.836-05:00Turquoise Cuff<div align="center">Turquoise and silver has to be the most beautiful</div><div align="center">colour combination when it comes to jewelry.</div><div align="center">I used 16 gauge wire for the frame of the cuff</div><div align="center">and then placed the various beads on 20 gauge</div><div align="center">wire and wrapped it around the frame.</div>

C just gave me some Paua Shell that</div>
<div align="center">
her brother brought back from a trip to</div>
<div align="center">
New Zealand. It's beautiful - highly polished</div>
<div align="center">
and jewelry grade. She was hoping that I could</div>
<div align="center">
come up with something to do with it since it</div>
<div align="center">
doesn't have any holes in it. I've read that shell</div>
<div align="center">
dust is toxic and when it's processed for jewelry</div>
<div align="center">
making, any drilling is done under water.</div>

it was surprisingly easy. It looks so wonky until you
get into the second or third tier. Even then, I often
had to reassess to make sure I was on track. I used
size 5 mm. needles and Paton's SWS in "Natural
Earth". This yarn was made for entrelac knitting.
It gives you these beautiful colour gradations at
just the right time so you don't have to mess around
with changing yarn colours all the time. It's a
luxurious 70% wool, 30% soy blend and I loved the
feel of it while knitting. I've decided to leave it all
puffy rather than blocking it for now.
I've seen it done both ways. I've already bought
more SWS in "Natural Pink". I may add
pompoms to the ends of the next one.

I got some of the most luscious mohair and</div>
<div align="center">
wool given to me by a dear friend, Nina. It would</div>
<div align="center">
probably be enough for a wrap or a shawl.</div>
<div align="center">
I knit a sample swatch and love how it</div>

knits up. Not sure what I'm going to</div>

make with it yet.

I found the pattern for this scarf in "Scarf Style" </div>
<div align="center">
by Pam Allen. It's called "Here and There Cables".</div>
<div align="center">
I loved that it looked exactly the same on the right</div>

and wrong sides. I used a Red Heart acrylic that's</div>

surprisingly soft and knit it on size 7 mm. needles.</div>

It's nice and long - 6 feet. I gave it to J</div>

I joined a 'knitalong' on <a href="http://www.craftster.org/">craftster</a> for <a href="http://garnstudio.com/lang/en/visoppskrift.php?d_nr=98&d_id=55&lang=en">garnstudio's Bag with Cable Pattern</a>.</div>
<div align="center">
I just love the <a href="http://garnstudio.com/index_lang.php">garnstudio</a> website. The knitting patterns
are amazing. I used a fabric st. for the handles instead
of the garter st. recommended in the pattern. I think it
will keep the handles from stretching too much. I added
3 vintage buttons for the closure at the top of the bag.
Some of the knitting for the bag was done on the way to
and from R&C's cottage in Manitoulin. This year
R&C, M&C, D&T, K&I
went up from September 22nd to the 25th to celebrate
a milestone birthday with M.Y. John Knepper was </div>
<div align="center">
up at his cottage as well and joined us every evening. </div>
