It's a dreary kind of morning. Very grey with lots of rain. But it is also great weather for knitting! A little over halfway through the border of Shetland Wheel and feeling very pleased with the results so far!

Circular Knitting Workshop by Margaret Radcliffe
I am a fan of Margaret Radcliffe's books because she explains technical details in order to allow you to master what is needed to create knitting patterns on your own. This was also true of vintage knitting books which assumed we would and could change up stitches, details, etc., as we knitted. So a good artisanal tradition to keep alive. Of course, if you are feeling wary, you could just knit any of the handsome projects included in the book.
This book is a workshop because it builds on the knowledge it imparts, working its way up through simple to complex projects in order to allow you to master one technique at a time. So, after a section on the basics of casting on, and the various ways to work circular needing, you get applications of techniques. First, a project, like simple tubular scarf, plus some other options, then the helix hat, (which is working two spirals and which you see here in the pinky colors), circular shawls, etc. She works you all the way up to a sweater. For all of these projects, she has a section called "Any Size, Any Yarn" to explain the calculations you will need in order to launch yourself into a different version with confidence.
Radcliffe also notes common problems and their solutions along the way. An appendix illustrates all the basic stitch techniques used. She is fair enough to acknowledge the pros and cons of knitting in the round even while she explains how you can convert a flat pattern to a circular one. There is a lot of information in here, but you can easily skip to the section which most interests you, or to a project that highlights the technique you especially want to learn.
Find it at your local bookstore, yarn shop, or online here: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/radcliffe%2C%20Margaret

T e c h • e d i t i n g☆S h a w l s ☆ . The last two weeks are all about learning for me. . I'm planning to become a knitwear tech editor on the near future so I decided to take the opportunity and deeper my knowledge about shawls. Shawls, their charts, designs and constructions are always very complex and very enchanting for me, so what a great opportunity I had last week when Frenchie from @arohaknits offered again her amazing challenge " 5 shawls 5 days" again this year and her very detailed ebook: Forming Shawls and their charts!! . If you are in the same boat trying to deeper your understanding about all the various types of shawls and their specific characteristics and construction, this is a great place to start! I am learning a lot and understanding how little things affect and improve our designs, making them unique and ours! . Thank you / arigato, Frenchie! 🤗for all the good information and your dedication! 💗 . . . . . . . . . . . #joyfulyarn #5shawls5days #shawlknitting #shawlconstruction #knittersoftheworld #arohaknitsdesigns #arohaknits #triangularshawl #circularknitting #circularshawl #techediting #shawlknitters #shawl #minishawls #shalws #handknit #knittingismynewyoga #knitknitknit #alwaysknitting #knitting #knittingofinstagram #improvingskills #knittedshawl #challenge #learning #igknitters #igknitting #knittingpattern #knitwear #creativelive https://www.instagram.com/p/B_0ONIAplY5/?igshid=1ijuxfn75rwvt

Larger projects often require larger swatches. This lace piece is knit with #gatheringyarn #yorkshirelace a gorgeous 😍 drapey 100% Falkland merino. I was swatching to decide the central lace pattern for the Shetland Wheel Shawl. And checking to make sure that the short row wedges will work. The wedges will work and the lace pattern has been decided and the knitting has started! 🤗 The Shetland Wheel Shawl is the fourth and last pattern for the #shetlandfusion #ebook Test knitting will start later this week. #shetlandwheel #shetlandlace #circularshawl #lacedesigner #laceknitting #merinowool #falklandmerino #letissierdesigns #wooladdicts #laceaddict #knittingwithwool #knittersofinstagram #designersofinstagram #patterndesigner #planning (at Nanaimo, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcA9WYWpegQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Seed and Leaf small swirl (or dickie), another pattern for #7hatsmore eBook. I know that it isn't a proper dickie, the neck is too low, but it is as high as I would wear!😂 This version is knit with @freiafibers #shawlball in the #dusk colourway. The poncho version is with the test knitter. #nevernotknitting #nevernotdesigning #letissierdesigns #laceknitting #lacedesigner #knittingdesign #circularshawl #circularknitting #merinowool #wool #wooladdict #ombreyarn #designersofbc #knittersofinstagram (at Nanaimo, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHWS3PQp4kS/?igshid=scbny47ghf6f

Well underway. I hit a bit 😂 of a snag yesterday! Pulled out about a foot of the bind-off. Not a happy moment! ☹️Had to pickup sts etc. So I didn't work on it last night! I will finish tonight and block this weekend 😁 So excited! I love the look of the k2tog bind-off! #finishing #finishingdetails #impulsivekal #impulsive #knittingwithbeads #bindoff #laceknitting #lacedesigner #kaunilace #kauniyarn #kaunieq #pishawlkal #pishawl #circularshawl #circularknitting #rainbows #knittingrainbows #butterflies (at Nanaimo, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB3TNODpTvp/?igshid=mn2xv1szkz2f

Play yarn chicken! 😂🤣 Not I! Another hank is waiting for me at the store, for the 3 or 4 yarns that I may need for the bind-off! I may make it - 3 1/2 more rounds and a knit2tog bind-off - which takes waaay more yarn than a regular bind-off! #yarnchicken #knittingwithbeads #knitting #impulsive #impulsivekal #pishawlkal #pishawl #circularshawl #circularknitting #letissierdesigns #laceknitting #lacedesigner #finishing #knittingrainbows #kaunilace #kauniyarn #kaunieq #knittersofbc #making #pandemicknitting (at Nanaimo, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CByP94KJP9v/?igshid=1t075kxa0y15y
