Briar Rose Vintage KAL: Seaming

June 1, 2011 by Tasha 2 Comments

Hey knit-alongers! We've reached the last instructional post! My last topic before the official end date tomorrow is about seaming. Call it seaming, call it sewing up, call it a pain in the butt. Unless you're knitting a completely seamless sweater, you're going to have to face this step. Once you've blocked your Briar Rose pieces, you'll have a nice little pile of flat pieces of knitting that look an awful lot ... Read more »

I've been following our Flickr group discussions carefully, and there are 3 topics I thought would be important for me to touch on here for everyone to read.

Briar Rose Vintage KAL: Two ways to knit the collar

May 14, 2011 by Tasha 6 Comments

Of course while Blogger was having problems was exactly when I wanted to post my next knit-along post! Anyway, we’ve reached the collar. There are two ways to approach it, and it’s up to you which method you choose. Knitting the collar 1) You can knit the collar as written (or with slight size modifications for those of you who resized your pattern) and sew it to the neckline. 2) You can pick up stitches along the ...

Briar Rose Vintage KAL: Shoulder shaping

May 14, 2011 by Tasha 5 Comments

(Update: This post was eaten during the Blogger outage. I waited patiently starting yesterday morning when they said "Blogger was back" and said they were restoring the posts that were "temporarily removed" from Wednesday and Thursday. 24 hours later my post isn't back and as of this morning they say "almost all" posts have been restored and now they're working on comments. Gee, thanks! Fortunately my mom had a copy of ... Read more »
