Knitted Love


Knitted Love, originally uploaded by fuzzyjay.

This is the latest knitted piece. It's being blocked on a towel using blocking wires and T-pins. I'll post the pattern for it later. Sorry about the crappy cell-phone picture!

What Jay said. If it helps:

Put your right needle IN the next stitch through the front. Wrap your yarn AROUND the right needle, counter-clockwise. Pull the right needle OUT of the stitch on the left needle. Pull the old stitch OFF the left needle.

The in/around/out/off mantra helps some people.

LOL

Of course, some people do drop the yarn between the needles and pull it through that way. Jay calls me a "combination" technique knitter, but I am mondo speedy. Just ask Jay: He's seen me in action. Pretty yarn in your avatar..what is it?

True, I suppose I should have noted that it was simply way that I do it, and that there are nearly as many techniques as there are knitters.

It's Koigu KPPPM, though I'm not entirely sure which one, I'm not seeing it on Knit-Purl's website anymore. I bought it to knit a tea cozy that matched my tea cups (also in the picture), because my little tea pot just doesn't keep tea hot very long on its own.
