Well here is the two cozy's that have been on kneedles for a while....my first two at a time on magic loop project.
Two YouTube Videos
two at a time limitless cast on and magic loop both by Liat from Knitfreedom latest post on /top-5-stretches-for-knitting-pain-relief
One is a mix blue 2x2 ribbing and the other a seed stitch in orange brown mix.....cast on 4mm 80cm circ kneedles with a two at a time limitless cast on....ribb cast on 40 and seed sts cast on 30....and off we go...a bit tricky at first i think i did the cast on twice...once the first rounds were done and the patterns established it was easy on magic loop.....
They are both completed now...and here are results.....
The blue ribbing one was done first so i had to take the seed stitch one off...not sure if there was another way without adding another round to the ribbing....made couple of decreases on the ends and used a one size smaller third needle for a invisible seam using the 3 needle bindoff technique..with the ribbing pattern there is an issue with the top fanning out a bit.....so i posted a help out on the knitfreedom ravelry forum and got some tips.....block the cozy.....decrease the ends.....the smaller size third needle was my idea and was suggested that is a good idea too.....not a fan of blocking so i decreased and went down one size..... was much much better but i think i could have decreased a couple of more...will try on next ribbing cozy, love making them especially in mix/varigated yarn.....
I frogged this reversible cable scarf....pattern is on ravelry as a free download..'Reversible Cable Scarf' by Nettie Knits Designs.
I like the look of this one....uses knit stitches to make the cables reversible and love the look inbetween the cables.....looks neater with smaller needles.
.i paused for a while and forgot where i was and continued from the 1st row and it all come out wrong...i did couple of rows....i could not be bothered ripping back so i frogged the whole project and started with the same pattern, printing it out this time and using 3.75mm needles instead of 5mm and looks better already...much neater....and less wider by 1/2 an inch...i like this much better, i have marked where i am now...so happy knitting cables on shall we goooooo...... :)
I also frogged this one totally.......here is the pattern Palindrome
A Reversible Cable Scarf.....uses knit and purls for the cable to make it reversible and is quick to work up.
ok anyways i think is all for today.....back soon to talk about new cable neck warmer in the round my own pattern all in purple....
