Finished Twisty Turns!

I finished my Twisty Turns Wrap! This is from Wrap Style, and was designed by Norah Gaughan. I used Knit Pick's Andean Silk in Pitch, and knit the second size. I think I could have done the smallest size and been happy, but I was afraid of it being too snug. Overall, I love it! It will stay in my office to keep me warm this winter!

Twisty Turns

Another newbie! Currently I'm knitting Twisty Turns from Wrap Style. I'm using Knit Picks Andean Silk in Pitch (black). I'd post a picture, but it's just a long black skinny rope right now. I started last Thursday at the beginning of a road trip (got home Sunday) and as of last night I had about 84" done, give or take. I can't decide exactly what size I'm knitting, and since the only difference is the length, I'll check the fit in another 20" or so. I'll post pictures soon.

I also have yarn standing by for Almost Argyle from Wrap Style, and Lady Eleanor from Scarf Style.

Finished Twisty Turns

Hi All! I finished my Twisty Turns Wrap. This was such an easy knit, good for TV knitting. Figuring out how to sew the wrap together-which section connected to which section-was easier than I anticipated. However, the directions on which stitch to sew into was a little confusing. I used almost 7 balls of Knit Picks Wool of the Andes in Avocado to knit this. Overall I'm really happy with the way it turned out.

Hi!

I'm new to this blog, but have been reading it for a while. I've just started on my first project from Wrap Style, the Twisty Turns wrap. I'm almost to the end of the knitting part, and will be starting the sewing soon! Here's a picture of my progress. I'm using Knit Picks Wool of the Andes.

TTFN!

Twisty Turns

I just started Twisty Turns from Wrap Style. I'm using Debbie Bliss Cashmerino in navy. It's simple pattern and a fun knit.


Unfortunately, the dye from this yarn comes off quite easily. I'm might be dragging my feet on completing this one. You can see the pictures of the dye effect on my blog.

Twist and Shout! Twisty Turns Complete!

Hi everyone! I've been lurking for awhile, and everyone's projects look
knit-tastic! Here is a finished twisty-turns, which I have to tell you, I contorted myself into so many positions to get it sewn together, I needed a rubtown and a hottub afterwards! The knitting itself was simple - it's just an 8 foot long ribbed strip, but when I went to sew the "decorative" seams together (let me just say this, decorative went out the window - there was nothing arty about my bunched up seams), I really felt like I had to go back to a remedial home economics class:
First, I laid it out flat (with a little help from my pooch Dexter):
Then, I brought point "A" around to point "D". D is the midway point of the strip, so about 4 ft in:
Then, I sewed the first seam A/D to B/C. As you can see from the picture above, one side of the seam is much longer than the other side. I just winged it (twice), and I think it turned out ok:

Then, I brought the other end of the strip (D/G), around the back:

And then, I pulled G through the whole made by bringing B/C together:

Then, I pinned E to F:

And sewed the second seam. It's hard to see in this picture, but you basically sew the black line to the redline:

And we know have, a completed pretzel!


The yarn is my favorite, Noro, in their new Silver Thaw, number 60-something, I can't remember. Because it's an angora blend, to get on gauge, I had to wet my swatch, and let the angora fluff up. So, in the end, I used three skeins, knit on 8's, and voila!


Let me tell ya, I worked up a sweat! I used muscles I never knew I had! Silver Thaw complete! And, for my next trick, Ene I think, but I'm not quite sure. I also have a completed Lady Eleanor, and I'll post a pic soon!

Happy Knitting everyone!

Finished!

I've completed the Twisty Turns wrap and I love it. Knitting on this was easy but kind of boring. Over 500 rows of exactly the same pattern... but it is cute! I'm sure the instructions were clear to someone who can read or follow a schematic, but I ended up at Knitorious, the best knitting store in St. Louis, where Sandy helped me figure the whole thing out. I've been lurking but this is my first post. I enjoy reading everyone elses posts and look forward to my next project.
