Spring Meadow Knit Along Week 1

May 18, 2015 5 Comments

Spring Meadow Scarf Knit Along Week 1 - Knit this great, free pattern for a lacy scarf!

The first week of the Spring Meadow Scarf knit along is here! The Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable yarn we’re using for this variegates so nicely, don’t you think? Cast on to see it for yourself – this first week involves gathering supplies and starting the scarf, working 15 repeats of vine lace, which is knit over 4 rows. It’s an easy stitch to memorize and results in a lovely scalloped edge and wide, rib-like ridges across the scarf.

Don’t forget to head over to AllFreeKnitting for the written week 1 pattern and to enter to win the Red Heart Prize Pack, and use #springmeadowKAL to share pics of your works in progress on social media!

Here’s how to work a Norwegian purl stitch for e Here’s how to work a Norwegian purl stitch for easier continental style knitting. With this purling method, the working yarn says tensioned (held) at the back of your knitting at all times. For many knitters, always holding the yarn at the back helps with tension issues, as well as feeling a little more comfortable. 
.
Have you ever encountered this style of purling before? If you’ve tried it, have you found it helps with your purl tension and knitting speed? I’m curious.

For a written tutorial, visit handsoccupied-dot-com. For video, you guessed it, You2be. Both of these platforms allow for longer, more in-depth versions of this tutorial, including full transcripts, alt text & the ability to pause, slow down or speed up at will. (Like if you really want to learn this, I recommend using a platform that doesn’t keep your hands occupied. Thinking of putting this in all my captions these days tbh - shout out to you if you made it this far. 🙌🏻😂)

All this recent talk about throwing vs. continental style knitting made it clear many people struggle with purling in continental knitting. Turns out that Norway may have the answer! In Norwegian purling, the working yarn stays tensioned at the back at all times, helping with speed and tension. 🤯
. 
Head to the bl0g (🔗 in bi0) for a more in-depth look at how to work a Norwegian purl stitch, including a photo tutorial with animated GIF & a video tutorial. Wrapping your mind around how to work a stitch you’re familiar with in a totally new way can be confusing, so I tried to give a few options for clarity. 🤙🏻 Video is also on You2be.
