I heartily recommend a lovely book, sadly out of print, by Jane Neighbors. The title is “Two Color Reversible Knitting.” She got the idea from some comments by Barbara Walker in her stitch compendia.
Looking at your blog is definitely inspirational! I have lots of the Fiber Trends shawl patterns ~ unknitted. I feel “fired up” just looking at all you have knitted! You have created beautiful things! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for the encouragement. Now you’ve inspired ME to keep at it. I am at present working on a post and tutorial for how to vary the toe shape of toe-up socks. It takes a lot of time, but your comments let me know it’s all worth it.
Hello!
I’ve been looking for information on the brioche stitch and stumbled on your post. Did you create a pattern from your friends sweater which you could share? Also I noticed you said you were using #2 needles? Thank you for any help you can give me regarding the brioche stitch.
Thanks so much for making your method of slipped short row heels available. It looks so nice and neat on the inside and outside plus NO HOLES . I have never been happy with the wrapped or yarn over short row heel on my socks. Your method is just so amazingly easy. I’ll be using this on all my heels and toes from now on. I recommend this for anyone who doesn’t like picking up stitches for a heel flap or holes in their short rows.
And I might add that I will be trying her newest tweak on the heels and toes of my next socks."
