    Color work – aka Fair Isle Knitting

    Posted on April 1, 2018April 8, 2018 by Erin Pirro

    Color work, or Fair Isle, is a technique in which more than one color is worked in the same row. For our Fireflies Hat, that means alternating the color every other stitch, which is a great way to learn this style of knitting without a lot of complications! The trickiest part of colorwork is getting […]

    Garter-Tab Shawls

    Posted on February 27, 2018February 27, 2018 by Erin Pirro

    A garter-tab shawl is the name for a shawl that’s started with this method.  By knitting a small rectangle in garter stitch, and then picking up stitches on two more sides of the ‘tab,’ you give strength to a shawl creation that would otherwise sag in the middle.  And let’s face it, the backbone of […]

    Short Rows: Wrap & Turn

    Posted on December 25, 2017December 25, 2017 by Erin Pirro

    Wrap & turn short rows are usually the first method a knitter learns for the shaping technique.  It’s an easy way to pull the rows together without leaving a hole. To work a wrap & turn (often abbreviated “w&t”), simply knit (or purl) to the specified stitch, slip the stitch to your working needle bring […]
