So far you have seen some of the simply WONDERFUL crochet that can be found in this book. I don't know about you but I find it inspiring. Behind the designs there is a collection of talented designers that is amazing. Not to mention the uber talented Robyn Chachula herself...it is no secret that she is my absolute favorite crochet designer and I am thrilled that I can call her my friend. <br />
<br />
So, let's get on with the party :-) I told you all about the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/botan-placemats">Botan Placemats</a> that I did as a 3 ball project but I didn't tell you about the other project I did. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGIN_HjK3A7pWI96HOTozTAUncJOPpjWSrhJtFwa9kn90R-ZGN5qe4Yk80_jS6L-0z5jTtlkFnVoO3snGkMb5lhfooWd1yc6_14G9hyphenhyphenhRWo0y004FH8VwLQlGL4YfPsAPdzIW3/s1600/Marly_Bird5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGIN_HjK3A7pWI96HOTozTAUncJOPpjWSrhJtFwa9kn90R-ZGN5qe4Yk80_jS6L-0z5jTtlkFnVoO3snGkMb5lhfooWd1yc6_14G9hyphenhyphenhRWo0y004FH8VwLQlGL4YfPsAPdzIW3/s320/Marly_Bird5.jpg" width="216" /></a></div>The<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/tallula-baby-top"> Tallula Top</a> is a little girls top made out of the timeless beauty of crocheted motifs around the body coupled with textured griddle stitch, makes this a perfect piece for every little girl. I made it without too much fuss or frill so it will look great made oversized and worn as a dress or fitted and worn as a top. I do want to mention that if you are making this for a little girl who still puts small objects in her mouth choose a different closure than the buttons as I don't want her to choke...okay? <br />
<br />
I used the wonderful Spud and Chloe Fine and I have to tell you I simply LOVED it! Such wonderful luster to the yarn, it felt great in my hands and it blocked beautifully. I would put this yarn on my top ten. Yes, I loved it that much. <br />
<br />
So, how long did it take me to make this? It took me about a week of working on it consistently. Actually, while my youngest was in preschool I would go to a place called Einstein Bagels and work on my projects. Which means I can honestly say that I spent a week of 4.5 hours a day on this project. Not long at all if you think about it.<br />
<br />
Okay, there is only one thing left to ask: WHO WANTS TO WIN A PRIZE? Yep, there is a prize to be won. Here is how to win:<br />

I am your host, Marly Bird! I have two designs in this great book but today we are going to talk about the 3 Ball project, the <b>Botan Placemats. </b><br />
<br />
--You know what, let me begin by telling all of you what a <i>great idea</i> I think this book is. So many people I know (knitters usually) tell me that they don't crochet because it takes so much yarn and that they never can find anything that they like that actually doesn't take that much yarn. Well, the next time I hear that I am going to hand them this book. It is FULL of absolutely fantastic items that maximize the value of the yarn but don't compromise on style.--<br />
<br />
Anyway, let's get on with the show :-)<br />
<br />
The idea for the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/botan-placemats">Botan Placemeats </a><span style="font-size: x-small;">(ravelry link) </span><span style="font-size: small;">came from a felted coaster I made myself out of some scrap Stitch Nation, Full of Sheep yarn I had left over from working with Debbie Stoller (that is a whole different story). The coaster is a simple two row color repeat stripey thing that sits to the left of my computer and is absolutely perfect. I love this coaster and </span>thought that a set of cute felted placemats would look wonderful on my kitchen table.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifF3Ewl8J9GDQovRMBSTKrjAtD8l5JLvkfG3etHU4ZCqFMfel7FrzkzJyGx9vi3FQTj4zbqIHdFiw-AtrDJpAOfvtKQPYM5uGaQG07nvm1DH9opZDiHlVun2MYTvvzRkWdBpHfuw/s1600/placemat.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifF3Ewl8J9GDQovRMBSTKrjAtD8l5JLvkfG3etHU4ZCqFMfel7FrzkzJyGx9vi3FQTj4zbqIHdFiw-AtrDJpAOfvtKQPYM5uGaQG07nvm1DH9opZDiHlVun2MYTvvzRkWdBpHfuw/s200/placemat.jpg" width="200" /></a>When I saw this inspiration photo I though that making the placemats felted just like my coaster would be perfect. They have clean lines and are not too busy which are two things I like. But it needed that little extra something. So, I pulled out one of my MANY crochet stitch dictionaries and made the little Botan Flowers and stitched them to the placemat. The flowers are the little touch that makes them cute, don't you think?<br />

I made these in about a day and a half. SERIOUSLY! Actually, I had enough time from the deadline that made two sets to play around with colors. Check out the other color option you could do.<br />
<br />
As for yarn amount, these placemats literally use just about every last bit of yarn of yarn in the three skeins. I had maybe 24" left of each color. Not bad huh?<br />
<br />
So,if you are looking for a quick, inexpensive and easy project or a gift for the holidays or a house warming these are perfect! Go and <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/botan-placemats">favorite them on Ravelry</a> would ya? <br />

This is no joke, even if I had no idea what it was or how to use it, if it said it was for knitting it was in my basket. That was 7 years ago and since then there are very few tools on the market that I find myself saying 'I have to have that'. However, that has all changed when I was introduced to the Knook!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/285462_227310493979286_102715329772137_658512_3292456_a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/285462_227310493979286_102715329772137_658512_3292456_a.jpg" /></a></div><br />
What is a Knook you ask? Well, let me tell you. It is a tool that blends the best of both the crochet and the knit worlds. Invented by Leisure Arts, a Knook is basically a wooden crochet hook that has a removeable thread at the end making it possible to knit with a crochet hook! Brilliant if you ask me.<br />
<br />
It is very helpful to the crocheter that wants to learn to knit, or the knitter that has a hard time dropping stitches or picking up stitches along the edge of a piece and wants to use a hook instead of needles. The Knook is sold in a kit that includes 3 wooden crochet hooks, thread, a booklet with great instructions for the right and left-handed crafter, along with lots of how-to-photos. It is currently only available at Wal-mart but will be in other stores this fall. <br />
<br />
<br />
Is it a crochet tool or a knitting tool? Both...knitters and crocheters will find that using a hook to pull the yarn through a stitch is easier than using a needle and they will find that the string attached to the hook helps them with the dreaded dropped stitch. Yes, you read that correctly...no more dropped stitches! <br />
<br />
With the Knook, the dreaded dropped stitch doesn't happen because the thread acts like a life line for your work. So, if you have been fearful of knitting because of dropped stitches I want to encourage you to try the Knook. It might be your new favorite tool in your crafting bag.<br />
<br />
If you are like me and need more visual instructions than a booklet to show you how a Knook works, Leisure Arts has how-to videos on their web site as well as free patterns! <br />

And as a special thanks to you for stopping by I'd like to GIVE AWAY a Knook kit! To enter leave a comment on this blog. I'll select the a winner from the comments received before Friday August 12th.YarnThinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08528468929966896601noreply@blogger.com60tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11315650.post-2557348371221477192011-05-26T17:41:00.000-06:002011-05-26T17:41:31.177-06:00Barton CardiganNot sure where to start. All most two years ago I was asked by the absolutely fantastic Lisa Shroyer to be a contributor to her new book <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Knitting-Plus-Mastering-Plus-Size-Projects/dp/159668237X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1304265251&sr=8-1">Knitting Plus</a></i>. Well, being a large size girl myself I know first hand the need for well written books on this subject matter. So, needless to say, it was a no brainer for me to say <b>yes</b> immediately. <br />
<br />
As far as direction, Lisa pretty much told me to do a yoke sweater, using Bijou Basin Ranch yarn (Bijou Bliss which is a Yak and Cormo blend...YUMM-O) that would be beautiful on a full size woman. Okay, let's get real for a moment, having all that freedom is wonderful but at the same time <i>absolutely crippling</i>!<br />
<br />
I spent nearly three weeks swatching different stitch patterns until I found the one that I thought was visually appealing, different than anything I had seen before and one that I knew I would not get board making. Then, I decided that I wanted to not only knit this sweater on size 3 needles but why not make it a steeked sweater as well? Go big or go home, right?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlSXpJvpskq-VbMS3PZm0p4KyTZTnHLvdZilwS-2AkDc5QbrYhyphenhyphengW2z0g4Gh66b7UjywKtPDgad08jVxiKHsFxj71Aedf9Tz9Ee2KHzj8tisw8TA6VCFEGA0K1RnS469etbPRT/s1600/Barton+Cardigan+%25282%2529.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlSXpJvpskq-VbMS3PZm0p4KyTZTnHLvdZilwS-2AkDc5QbrYhyphenhyphengW2z0g4Gh66b7UjywKtPDgad08jVxiKHsFxj71Aedf9Tz9Ee2KHzj8tisw8TA6VCFEGA0K1RnS469etbPRT/s320/Barton+Cardigan+%25282%2529.bmp" width="220" /></a></div><br />

<br />
I must have chosen correctly because the response I have received for the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/barton-cardigan">Barton Cardigan</a> (ravelry link) has been overwhelming! In a recent twitter interview with Shannon Okey, Lisa even said that it was one of her favorite designs in the book. Talk about making me feel incredible! <br />
<br />
Well, if you have happen to like this cardigan as well and want a little help to make it...today is your lucky day! The wonderful Julie Matthews of http://www.knittingatlarge.com/ is hosting a KAL on ravelry for the Barton and I've signed on to "teach" it online to all of you!<br />
<br />
<div style="color: red;">The Barton KAL begins on June 1, 2011. All the details and such are on the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/groups/barton-kal">ravelry group </a>so please look there to find out more ;-)</div><br />
<br />
Hope to see some of you there!<br />

</a></div>When I became a designer little did I know that I would have almost no time to learn anything new unless I had proposed it in a design and needed to figure out how to do it. After all, that is how I learned how to make a sweater, sleeves and lace :-) No joke. More often than not, in the beginning I would sketch and propose an idea that I had no idea how to implement but figured I could learn if the publisher wanted the design. So far, it has worked out...with help from some very helpful and patient tech editors.<br />
<br />
Anyway, one of those techniques that I always wanted to learn how to do is entrelac. The look of entrelac is so fascinating to me. So, when I had a week "off" work (meaning I didn't have any deadlines that week) and I got Rosemary Drysdale's new book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Entrelac-Essential-Guide-Interlace-Knitting/dp/1936096005">Entrelac: the essential guide to interlace knitting</a> in the mail I thought to myself....PERFECT!<br />
<br />
That night I sat down with the book, a pair of size 8 needles and a couple balls of yarn. Three hours later I had read the entire book, cast on for a hat and began to do my first entrelac pattern...my own pattern, <i>in the round</i>. Yep, go big or go home....no learning how to do it flat for me...jump in two feet first and go for it!<br />
<br />
<br />
I had the hat down a few days later and was absolutely in LOVE with this technique. Luckily, I had the opportunity <a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/yarnthing/2010/11/30/entrelac-rosemary-drysdale">to chat with Rosemary</a> later the next week and I told her all about my hat. She was impressed :-)<br />
<br />
So, when I brought my new hat into the yarn shop I teach at the students there instantly asked me if they could have the pattern. Well, no knitting is pleasure knitting anymore so why not write the pattern for the slouchy entrelac hat and make a little money on it?<br />
<br />
After a couple classes to teach how to make it and 3 hats made by me later I now have the Huckelberry Hat pattern available for purchase on Ravelry! Details are below: <br />

<div style="text-align: left;">I'm on my way to CHA today! Keep your eye out for me! </div>YarnThinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08528468929966896601noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11315650.post-78328712680424452792011-01-25T10:25:00.000-07:002011-01-25T10:25:22.458-07:00From Coast to Coast<div style="text-align: justify;">I can't believe so much has happened since I last posted. Of course, there were the holidays with my family, which was awesome but we didn't have any snow in Denver. What's up with that?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Once the New Year started, things got <em>crazy.</em> In mid January, I joined many of you at <a href="https://netforum.avectra.com/eweb/DynamicPage.aspx?Site=TNNA&WebCode=Winter">TNNA</a> in Long Beach. Did you see my piece in the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2MHucFMGsM">fashion show</a>? It's the gorgeous red shell on the runway! I was home for a week and then off to New York for <a href="http://www.vogueknittinglive.com/">Vogue Knitting Live</a> with Carl and Eileen from <a href="http://www.bijoubasinranch.com/BBR_Home.htm">Bijou Basin Ranch</a>. (Hey, did I ever tell you that I'm the Creative Director over there? No? Well just wait until I tell you about our latest photo shoot!) So Vogue Knitting was a BLAST. Did you stop in and join me at BBR's Yarn Tasting? I met so many people, I couldn't believe. I met people in the industry that I've looked up to for years, and just as much fun, fans of my own! One person in particular came up and told me about an email of hers that I'd responded to, that totally made my day. And I saw one of my patterns "in the wild"! There it was, my <a href="http://knitthing.blogspot.com/2010/10/hydroponic.html">Hydroponic Tunic</a> walking by, I had to get a picture. Next, I'm off to <a href="https://www.craftandhobby.org/eweb/DynamicPage.aspx?Site=CHA&WebKey=e07ba93c-be8d-4226-9af7-cbf3c49a8346">CHA</a> in LA. I've never spent so much time in the air in my life! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm about to dash off to lunch but I can't wait to sit down again and tell you about all the patterns I've got coming out! They're in books, online, all over the place. Let me just give you a little taste, and then you can come back for more updates soon. I had so much fun embellishing this one from the Spring 2011 Collection for Bijou Basin Ranch. (Their yarn comes in colors now!)<br />

Sometimes a simple design just needs a little touch of something extra to make it special. The trailing cherry blossom branches use chain stitch and french knots to adorned the collar and down the front of the shoulders. These finishes create an understated elegance that needs no other embellishment.<br />

<br />
What if I told you that the crochet project were starting to hurt my hands and when I switch to knitting it helps stretch out the muscles? <br />
<br />
So we all agree...I wasn't procrastinating but expanding my design skills while maintaining peek physical knitting and crochet physic :-) <br />
<br />
Take a look at what I made yesterday and today :-) Now my hands will be nice and toasty.<br />
<br />
I am naming them Dittoism...just like the name.<br />

I really did name it the Hydroponic. The story behind the name is this. While I was working on the piece the actual stitch reminded me of a marijuana leaf. I mean, come on, given the color of the linen yarn I was using it wasn't too far of a stretch. When I mentioned this to John he laughed and told me I should name it Hydroponic...thus the name was born. I even went as far as to name the stitch in question the Ghanja Stitch :-) It's the little things that make me laugh.<br />

This is on of the patterns that Michael (see previous post) and I had talked about at TNNA last June. I had a rough sketch that could have gone several different directions. In the end I came up with this and I gotta say that I am IN LOVE with it! So much so that I want to make one for myself (anybody want to make it for me?...you get a free pattern :-).<br />
<br />
The yarn was fantastic to work with on this project. It is Fibranatura Flax, 100% linen. I had never worked with linen before and I was told that the more you wash and dry it the softer it gets. Let me tell you first hand that is SO TRUE and super cool!<br />
<br />
Anyway, here is the 411 about the Hydroponic:<br />

As you all know, I began designing for really reals in March of 2008 after some not so gentle nudging from Jill Wright aka <a href="http://www.woolcrafting.com/">woolcrafter</a>. Since then I have been going (excuse the expression) balls to the wall designing and have not looked back. <br />
<br />
When trying to make a true living in this industry I think it is important to diversify. I am already bi-crafty but still I had to do more. Meaning, I do some magazine work, some designing for yarn companies, some book work for others, I have a booklet with Leisure Arts coming out in February that I did with Jill, I am Creative Director for Bijou Basin Ranch Yarn, I was project manager for the first 13 patterns for the Stitch Nation Yarn with Debbie Stoller (did I ever tell you that?), and now I am working on expanding my own pattern line. <br />
One of the great things that has happened since I began designing is that some publishers allow designer to have their copyrights back and the designer is able to sell patterns themselves. That means that most of my 52 patterns I have done in the last two years are now mine to sell! Great right? Well, the only problem is that some of the designs I didn't get pictures of before I shipped them to the magazines. Which means I need to have another one made and really, I don't have the time to do all that work nor do I have the money to pay somebody to do it for me! <br />
<br />
However, some of the designs I actually got back from the publishers and I am able to publish those under my own pattern line. Most I have actually paid to have additional charts made to better explain (for example: the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/thrummed-crochet-mittens">Crochet Thrummed Mittens</a> patterns available for purchase on Patternfish or Ravelry have a chart for the stitch increases at the top of the mit and a chart for the thumb to mitten join). So, I have actually revamped a lot of the patterns that were published else where so that they are even more user friendly. <br />
<br />
But let's face it, I can't make a living on old designs alone. I need to have new ones that are original to my of line. I have been fortunate enough to have established relationships with a variety of AWESOME yarn companies who have all offered me yarn support. That is a huge relief and one that I thank GOD for every day. <br />
<br />
The next step was for me to get a few other yarn companies on board with my designing as well as trying to find a distributor. Well, last June I had a chance to talk with Michael del Vecchio with Universal Yarns about using their yarns for my own pattern and having them distribute them. He and I had a nice discussion over <a href="http://jenisicecreams.com/">Jeni's Ice Cream</a> and agreed to begin with four patterns for the 2011 Spring/Summer season. FANTASTIC!<br />
<br />
Well, the designs are done, pieces have been made, the patterns are written and have been test crocheted and/or knit and are available for purchase!!! <br />
<br />
As always, I wrote each pattern in a way that I find most useful...meaning I added as many charts as I could when I could and I put little notes here and there to help the crocheter custom fit the design if she wants to do so (for example: to add length to body add extra rows here; to add length to sleeves add extra stitch repeats here). I have gotten great feedback from the designs and I hope you like them too.<br />
<br />
I plan on dedicating a specific post for each design but I don't want you to feel like I built your expectation up only to not follow thru with the big reveal. Here are the patterns I have out so far on Ravlery if you want to go and take a look.<br />

So, I won't do that here. I will just say that it is not hard to tell when I get super busy in the design side of my business when my blog isn't updated or my podcast goes on hiatus ;-)<br />
<br />
Anyway, that is what has been going on around here. Since this time last year I have had so many things happen I don't even believe them myself. Somebody pinch me please!<br />
<br />
I want to tell all of you about my new designs (and I will...I plan on dedicating a post to each one) but until I do here is a <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/designers/marlaina-bird-aka-marly">link to my ravelry designer page</a>.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, look at these GREAT family pictures we had taken of us last weekend. One of my best friends, <a href="http://karensshortstorylong.blogspot.com/">Karen </a>is an amazing photographer and agreed to take these pictures for me. They are just wonderful and thought I would share them with all of you.<br />

I have been a fan of Brett <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Bara</span> since I first met her two years ago at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">TNNA</span>. She is a very nice lady and has a good head on her shoulders. I have told her before that I want to design for her magazine but I never get submissions done in time to send to her. Imagine my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">surprise</span> when a couple of days before Thanksgiving 2009 that I got an email from Brett <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Bara</span>, editor of <em>Crochet Today! </em>magazine with "Your Assignment" in the subject line. In the email she asked if I would be interested in designing a basic vest for the winter issue of <em>Crochet Today!</em>. Well, being a HUGE fan of miss Brett I quickly said yes. <em>Then</em>, she told me that she needed it asap...like in 10 days asap.<br /><br />After a quick think about who I could get to help me out with this I told her that I could do it! Never mind the fact that I was in the middle of a HUGE project management job (more about that next time) and I had a very large pattern due to Interweave. SURE, I could help Brett! But who was I going to ask for help...who do I call....CALL JENNI, of course. (I feel like I am singing the Ghost Busters song) You might remember me bragging about her making my <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/capricious-cardigan">Capricious Cardigan </a>a while ago.<br /><br />The thing is, usually Jenni is always quick to say yes to anything I need made but I should tell you that I had just put her through a couple HUGE projects. I mean HUGE! So, I had to be a bit delicate when I asked her to help me out with this. In other words...I had to come up with a plan :-)<br /><br />I waited until I had her here at my house for a girls night. When I was showing her my new office she happened to notice the new package of yarn on the floor next to my desk (Jenni has a very keen eye and spots anything new...plus she helped me organize my stash more than once so she knows what is in it). I eyed her and no joke, she said "what do I have to make now?"<br /><br />I gave her a huge smile and explained to her what I needed to make and asked if she could make the back for me while I made the front. She and I team up really well for projects like this since our tension is spot on the same. Grudgingly, Jenni agreed to give me a hand.<br /><br />A few days later I wrote the pattern and sent it to Jenni to review. We both agreed that it looked good and we got started. Now, it is customary that she and I meet at least once a week when we are working on a project like this but there simply was NO TIME. We had to rely on photos over email and talking on the phone. When we finally got the chance to meet it was at 10:00 at night, standing at the back of my car, at a gas station off of I-70, in negative degree weather! We had to make sure that our pieces were going to match up...see, I know some of you are going to say that we should already know that based on getting the same gauge. But, GAUGE LIES!<br /><a title="Crochet Today Shell_Vest 002 by YarnThing, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yarnthing/4310128204/"></a><br />The good news is that we were good to go and a couple days later Jenni came to my house with the back pieced finished. Poor girl had worked all night to make sure she could get it done and when she came in my house she looked like she was going to fall over.<br /><br />I tucked in ends while Jenni seamed the pieces together and did the crab stitch edging around the armholes and neck. I made it just in time to the FED EX office to mail it out next day to Brett.<br /><br />Without the team I have knitting and crocheting for me there is no way I could get done half of what I get done. Thanks Jenni!<br /><br />I hope you all like this vest. It is really pretty simple and a great layering piece.

Well, it is a little late new now but I had a design in the </span><a href="http://www.interweavestore.com/Crochet/Interweave-Crochet/Interweave-Crochet-Winter-2009.html"><span style="font-family:georgia;">Winter 2009 issue of Interweave Crochet</span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;">. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;">My motivation behind this design was to design a garment that was easy on construction but intricate in pattern stitch. Also, I think the little buttons really make this piece cute. </span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;">The entire sweater is made in one piece! (pause for a cheer) As for the fit, it is meant to be a very tight fitting sweater and because it is made out of alpaca I wanted to make sure it wouldn’t stretch out of shape after wear (you know what I mean?) Also, because I wanted the lace to really get stretched across the body (and boobs) to show the stitches and not look like a blobby mess…does that make sense? I say all of that to let you know what I was thinking when I wrote the pattern.</span></div><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">I wrote the pattern to have a 2" negative ease. The picture in IC shows it with a 1/2" negative ease so please keep this in mind if and when you decide to crochet it. </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">The neck line originally was supposed to plunge a lot more than it shows on the model but I had to change that. See, I had finished the pullover and turned it in to IC and mentioned that I was worried that the neckline would stretch too much both in the front drop and off the shoulders once it was worn. They agreed and allowed me to take it home and try to remedy the situation. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">What was my solution? Well, I remembered a class I took with </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.crochetbyfaye.blogspot.com"><span style="font-family:georgia;">Robyn Chachula </span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;">(my favorite crochet designer) and the suggestion to use grosgrain ribbon to help prevent unwanted stretch. PERFECT! I took the piece home, added a couple more rounds of single crochet, hand stitched grosgrain ribbon around the neck and voila! No more unwanted stretch :-) Thank Robyn!!!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">It has gotten a great response on </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.ravelry.com"><span style="font-family:georgia;">Ravelry</span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;"> which I was very pleased about...and then I got the dreaded PM about MISTAKES!!! Yep, they happen and I know that. By the time a pattern is printed in the magazine it has been looked at and tweaked by so many people that mistakes are almost inevitable. The written pattern in the magazine has a few mistakes. But have no fear...I am here to tell you what they are :-)</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Here is the exact information I wrote in on the pattern page in Ravelry in case some of you are not a part of the site (and if you aren't what are you waiting for?)</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span><br /><strong><blockquote><strong><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span></strong></blockquote><span style="font-family:georgia;">ERRATA</span></strong><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">:</span> <span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><br /><em><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span></em><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"><em>For Neck Shaping the pattern should read</em>: work to specified # of rows then place marker in center ch-2 sp </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Row 1: Work as est to marked sp, dc in marked sp, turn. </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Row 2: ch 3, sc in 2nd ch-1 sp, ch 2, sc in next ch-1 sp, work as est to end. </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Row 3: Work as est to last ch-2 sp, sc in last ch-2 sp, turn. </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Row 4: ch 3, sc in 2nd ch-2 sp, ch 2, sc in next ch-2 sp, mark 1st ch-2 sp just created, work as est to end. </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Rep rows 1-4 twice more for neck shaping.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">To make it even easier here is a chart to help...</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 574px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 375px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2770/4302249991_06a23261b7.jpg" border="0" /><em>The Join Back of Neck and Sleeve shaping and Back should read like this</em>:<br /><br />JOIN BACK NECK Next row (WS): Work as est to end of row, ch 42, then work as est across Right Side of Neck sts.

Not because I haven't wanted to but because I have been so busy I have literally had no time to sit and tell all of you about what is going on right now.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3431/3737746785_a1976db47d.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 375px; height: 500px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3431/3737746785_a1976db47d.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Where to start? How about I tell you all about two new designs I did for Inside Crochet Magazine?<br /><br />The first...is the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/capricious-cardigan">Capricious Cardigan</a> (Ravelry links): There is a long story about this cardigan but I am not sure you want to hear all about it. Oh, you do? Okay, how about I tell you a little bit...<br /><br />This pattern is one of my favorites. It is my first pattern that I did sleeves for, it is my first pattern that I did intense waist shaping on in a pattern stitch, and it is my first pattern that I had made by somebody else (Jenni).<br /><br />Funny story about the last thing there. See, Jenni is one of my best friends. It was about 5 years ago that I taught her how to crochet and she has been a CHAMPION since then. Nothing can stop her. The best part about having had taught her how to crochet is that now that she is a contract crocheter for me I can explain something I want to do and she totally get's it. It is like she and I are one. It really is a fantastic thing. As a matter of fact...the pattern for this sweater was written in a McDonald's Play Place over a lunch "meeting". From there Jenni took my notes and made what you see to the Left....well everything except the sleeves. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbDXF4pEoO-6g0W_8JqS8j6vDbGXXjk0vp0NzHlZ2-HozMjjO-Hbeea9CSpX-yuqSOOLtpo5akgzWnc2PCZoH581OybQT5RDvlXg_U9R2czrWYtubHaRtnq3DjIv4PQKjfcW98/s1600-h/Capricious+Cardigan.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 307px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbDXF4pEoO-6g0W_8JqS8j6vDbGXXjk0vp0NzHlZ2-HozMjjO-Hbeea9CSpX-yuqSOOLtpo5akgzWnc2PCZoH581OybQT5RDvlXg_U9R2czrWYtubHaRtnq3DjIv4PQKjfcW98/s400/Capricious+Cardigan.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414048608385341314" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Do you think you could make an entire sweater based on that little drawing you see over there? Jenni did...THAT is all she had...those were my instructions to her! See what I mean about her just getting me? She is amazing!! Here is a link to the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yarnthing/sets/72157621726249578/">flickr set</a> if you want to see more pictures...<br /><br />Okay, sleeves...I knew they would be hard to do. Especially since I had not only NEVER made sleeves for anything let alone design them. Needless to say, I needed a little more time to write those than a lunch at McDonald's would provide. It took me four tries before I got the right look. Finally, I did.<br /><br />Yep, you read that right, I submitted a design idea including something that I had absolutely no idea how to do. But, like everything these days, I figured that if Amy and Julie (editors of Inside Crochet) picked it up I would quickly figure out how to do it. And I did :-) Mind you, with a little help from my FANTASTIC tech editor who holds my hand and finds my...um...hick ups :-)<br /><br />Anyway, that is the quick story about this sweater. Now, <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/capricious-cardigan">go and favorite it on Ravlery</a>!<br /><br />One thing that was also super cool and new for me in this particular issue (Inside Crochet, issue #5) is that I had TWO patterns in it! I had never had two patterns in one issue before...yowza!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2596/3718754257_be9ab4dfe1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 333px; height: 500px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2596/3718754257_be9ab4dfe1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />The<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/snowflake-bag"> Holiday Tote</a> is a HUGE felted bag that I needle felted snowflakes on to make it more festive. <br /><br />The yarn is my new favorite yarn to felt with, <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/kraemer-yarns-mauch-chunky">Kraemer Yarns Mauch Chunky</a>. Seriously...fantastic!! And it isn't that expensive! <a href="http://kraemeryarns.com/">Kraemer</a> was kind enough to offer me yarn support to make this bag since the yarn that I was supposed to get from the magazine never arrived. They are super awesome people over there.<br /><br />I just LOVE this bag and I think the handles make it spectacular. I was told by Julie that the entire office at Inside Crochet in England LOVED this bag. What a huge compliment huh?<br /><br />Another funny story about this bag. Last June when I was on my way to TNNA I was sitting at the airport and a woman started to talk to me about knitting (because of course I was knitting something). Her name was Kirsten Muench, owner of <a href="http://muenchyarns.com/">Muench Yarns</a> who distributes Grayson E leather handles!!! <br /><br />Well, of course I told her about this bag I was making and she offered to give me a set of her handles after the show so I could use them in the magazine! Cool huh? It was so kind of her!<br /><br />Anyway, I hope you will make this bag as it is SOOOO easy. Now, <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/snowflake-bag">go and favorite this one on Ravlery :-) </a><br /><br />I have more patterns to share with you but only have time to write one blog a day...so stay tuned.YarnThinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08528468929966896601noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11315650.post-75096377172470151112009-09-21T22:19:00.004-06:002009-09-22T07:43:49.597-06:00Peek-A-Boo Chevron Tunic<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2674/3738545598_fdeb94c1b5.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 375px; height: 500px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2674/3738545598_fdeb94c1b5.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Yep, I am still here. I have been very busy finishing up a book I am writing with Jill Write for Leisure Arts and various other patterns for magazines.<br /><br />Here is my newest published pattern. It is in the newest issue of Inside Crochet. You want the Ravelry links? The <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/peek-a-boo-chevron-tunic">Peek-A-Boo Chevron Tunic</a> is what I called it but in the magazine it is the Chevron Tunic I hear (I don't have the magazine yet) but you can find it in <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/inside-crochet-issue-4-october-november-2009">Inside Crochet, Issue #4 October/November</a><br /><br />Here are some pictures <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yarnthing/sets/72157619014235393/">on flickr</a> I took of it before I sent it to the UK.<br /><br />To tell the truth, I am not totally happy with the color choices that we used over the left boob. It would have been cuter with a blue instead of the green but the color cards we used to choose the colors made it look like the green would be perfect. The hard part is that the yarn is kettledyed and each skein is a little different from the next so even though one skein of the multy looked great with the green the others didn't. Does that make sense?<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3360/3585967332_597342349e.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 375px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3360/3585967332_597342349e.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Here, I took pictures with a blue held up to it so you can see what it would look like in a different color.<br /><br />So, I know some of you will be wondering, "why make one side different than the other?" Well, you don't have to do that at all but I thought it was a cool way to make an everyday chevron piece different. Actually, that is how I got the Peek-A-Boo idea. To me, the idea that only one boob has a striped chevron is like a game of peek a boo.<br /><br />What do you think? You can be honest with me. I know that some of you will just LOVE it and some will HATE it. I am prepared for that as I too am in a love/hate relationship with it.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3564/3585156275_4b5539e3dc.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 375px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3564/3585156275_4b5539e3dc.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Here is a close up of the stitch pattern on the body. What took so long for me to make this was that the second row was pretty much worked into the holes of the first row so in essence, every two rows really counted as one for the body. Combine that with sock yarn and it.takes.a.long.time!<br /><br />The only other thing that I might change when I publish this pattern myself is the way I did my decreases. I think they are a little too drastic and I think that I will do a little more math to make them a little more subtle in future patterns.<br /><br />Other than that...I hope you will go to RAVELRY and <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/peek-a-boo-chevron-tunic">favorite it right away</a> :-)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ravelry.com/badges/redirect?p=peek-a-boo-chevron-tunic"><img src="http://api.ravelry.com/badges/projects?p=peek-a-boo-chevron-tunic&t=.gif" style="border: medium none ;" /></a><br /><br />I will try to update you all more soon with all the other things I have been up to lately!<br /><br />xoxoxoYarnThinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08528468929966896601noreply@blogger.com8
