KFB is knitting front to back resulting in an increase of stitches. I've worked in the rounds using 5 needles but prefer circulars for the body and DPNs for the sleeves. I "knit" stitch all around and only purl for the ribbing portion or when the pattern calls for it. I don't work from inside out, therefore I'm always knitting on the right side instead of wrong side of the sweater. Hope that makes sense.

I still don't understand how you rounded off your sweater

I guess we all have different methods to knitting

What yarn are you using for the sweater?

I never learned to knit but I have a lot of respect for those that do...it sure seems like it takes a lot of time!

Thanks Sherry. It is slow but not limited to clothing. I have high regards for seamstresses too as my mom is one. I leave it to the pros to make beautiful and unique dresses for Tessa

And miss Tessa is such a beautiful little model!

It's getting much cooler here. Fingers crossed that we'll get to see snow in TX again this year.

I'm also getting knitty, anyone?

Kamilla · 10-16-2013, 11:43 AM

Yesterday it started snowing here in northern Norway, and i dont like it

The sun is very low now and soon it will be gone, and it does'nt come back until late January.

Knitty? Not sure what it means, but i guess im feeling knitty all the time

Now im making myself a thick winter sweater, and later on im going to make a new sweater for Rocky Superman. The one he has fits him perfectly, and will not fit the hole winter. (Hope he stops growin now, he is perfect as he is)

What projects are you guys working on? Or planning?

Tessa327 · 10-17-2013, 10:49 AM

Sorry to hear that, winter months must be harsh in Norway huh. As for us we look forward to it, anything to get out of the hot TX heat. Knitty is my term for when I have an itch for knitting, which is pretty much year-round.

At the moment I have a few projects on loose ends that will be completed. I've took a twist on yarn and made new Halloween bows with toys to match but it's more for design and not for sale. What I really want to start on is a cabled leg warmer for myself. Bf wants a knit beanie for work, so I'll see what I can do. Happy knitting all

Yes, the winter is long, cold and dark. Not my favorite season! Love the term knitty! My daughter says we speak knittish when we talk about knitting ;-)
Would SO love to see the Halloween stuff, picture please?

Tomorrow, friday, the national tv channel are having a so called slow tv program. Slow tv programs are when you make a tv program with only one theme and it lasts many hours. And tomorrow its about knitting. They have made it available for foreigners at nrk.no/knitting, its a live stream with english commentary

It starts at 5 past eight in the evening, norwegian timesone +1gmt. If you google timezone you can find a map with all the timezones.

Ill be knitting and watching this tv show

Thanks Kamilla for the preview. It got me a lil' excited there lol. I will be looking to see if it will show here, in CST. Make yourself some hot chocolate while you're knitting away. I LOVE sweater weather!

Kamilla · 11-01-2013, 08:58 AM

Im excited too! You find it here : National knitting eve - live on NRK

And the kids have taken all the hot chocolate, so im going to make real home made hot chocolate, yummy! Enjoy the show

Same here but in reverse. I crochet very little, so knitting is more my cup of tea. Join the club, anything with yarn goes here.

Btw Tessa loves the crochet balls, she still has them. We're also a fan of your work.

Did you see the cozy on the motorcycle?

Yorkie24U · 11-07-2013, 02:38 PM

I love both and find some simple patterns along with video instructions on You Tube . My biggest challenge was a sweater for my grand dog, a 9 pound Italian Greyhound. Their body shape is nothing like a yorkie . I can't seem to get the picture to upload here. The projects are very relaxing, lately have been just simple scarves, nice first timer project. Happy Knitting & Happy Hooking !
