March 17, 2016 By admin Leave a Comment

  1. The free pattern used in the video
  2. The free video tutorial for the Zig Zag Eyelet Trellis Lace Knit Stitch knit straight

If you are interested in a pattern that uses this stitch pattern, you can get the Covet This Lacy Cowl pattern as a free pattern on RedHeart.com

To follow along with the swatch in the video, use the instructions below.

Zig Zag Eyelet Trellis Lace Knit Stitch Pattern

Materials used in the video:

Yarn:RED HEART® Soft® and RED HEART® Sparkle Soft™,

Needle: Size 8 (5mm)

Stitch Markers: 2 markers for sample. I prefer to use stitch markers that are about the same size as the needle I am using so I don’t get ladders in my knitting.

Yarn Needle: Bent Tip Steel Yarn Needle

DSC_1737

Special Stitches

Garter Stitch (Gtr St): Straight — Knit all sts every row. Circular — Rnd 1: Knit. Rnd 2: Purl. Rep rnds 1 and 2 for Gtr St.

ssk: (slip, slip, knit) Slip 2 sts, 1 at a time, knitwise to the rhn; return sts to lhn in turned position and knit them together through the back loops (1 st decreased).

k2tog: (knit two stitches together) Knit 2 sts together (1 st decreased).

yo: yarn over needle (1 st increased).


PATTERN (used in video)

Stitch Pattern Multiple: 3 sts +1.

The plus one is to keep the last yo (see special stitches) of row in place. You will notice that the sample swatch I show on the video has an extra 4 sts on either side of the markers that are kept in Garter Stitch (see special stitches) and they take the place of the +1. I only point it out incase you are wondering why I only have 21 stitches between the marker instead of 22. Now you know.

(worked straight)

Sample swatch used in video: CO 29 sts.

Row 1: Knit 4 sts, place marker (PM), knit to last 4 sts, PM, knit to end.

Keep the first 4 and the last 4 stitches in garter stitch (see special stitches) throughout the pattern. The marker is there to help you remember.

Row 2: Knit

Row 3: Knit

Row 4: Knit to marker, slip marker, [begin Zig Zag Eyelet Trellis Lace Knit Stitch Pattern between the markers] *k1, yo, k2tog; rep from * to marker, slip marker, knit to end.

Row 5: Knit to marker, slip marker, purl to marker, slip marker, knit to end.

Row 6: Knit to marker, slip marker, *k1, yo, k2tog; rep from * to marker, slip marker, knit to end.

Row 7: Knit to marker, slip marker, purl to marker, slip marker, knit to end.

Row 8: Knit to marker, slip marker, *k1, yo, k2tog; rep from * to marker, slip marker, knit to end.

Row 9: Knit to marker, slip marker, purl to marker, slip marker, knit to end. 

Note: you should see that your stitches are leaning towards the right. This is because the k2tog leans the stitch to the right. 

Row 10: Knit to marker, slip marker, *k1, ssk (see special stitches), yo; rep from * to marker, slip marker, knit to end.

Row 11: Knit to marker, slip marker, purl to marker, slip marker, knit to end. 

Row 12: Knit to marker, slip marker, *k1, ssk (see special stitches), yo; rep from * to marker, slip marker, knit to end.  

Row 13: Knit to marker, slip marker, purl to marker, slip marker, knit to end. 

Row 14: Knit to marker, slip marker, *k1, ssk (see special stitches), yo; rep from * to marker, slip marker, knit to end.  

Note: you should see the stitches you created in rows 10-14 are leaning toward the left. This is because the ssk leans the stitch to the left. 

Rows 15, 16, 17: Knit

Repeat rows 4-17 and alternate colors if you want to get the same multi color look that you see in the video.

To make the Zig Zag Eyelet Trellis Lace Scarf, simply work in the repeat until the scarf measures at least 75″ then bind off knitwise.

Marly Bird Garter Stitch Shawl Knit-along Details

March 9, 2016 By admin 41 Comments

The Marly Bird Garter Stitch Shawl Knit-along  is sponsored by Red Heart.

This is the very first KAL I’ve hosted that is based on my own pattern and includes a full set of HD videos of me demonstrating how to do each step of the shawl!

THE PROJECT

A SHAWL! Something that is rather simple, uncomplicated and gauge isn’t something that is super important. The project for this KAL is a rather easy shawl but it packs a lot of punch. There are many learning opportunities for me to teach you while you make this garter stitch shawl.

MarlyBirdKAL_FacebookCover_2

THE DATE

The official start date is March. 30, 2016 – April. 27, 2016. There will be one video released each week along with the pattern instructions for that section. You will find a full schedule at the end of this post with links as they are available.

THE COMMUNITY

There is a dedicated Facebook group for this KAL that is monitored by me and several of the WONDERFUL sampler knitters who tested this pattern for me. We are all there to help you with this project. Please join us!

THE PATTERN

During the KAL timeframe each section of the pattern will be released at the same time as the corresponding video release. This will help everybody who wants to participate in the knit-along (KAL) stay at the same pace and subsequently make it easier for me to help!

Once the KAL is complete the full pattern will be available at MarlyBird.com.

THE VIDEOS

As I mentioned, one video will be released each week during the KAL timeframe. In these
videos I walk you though making this sassy shawl and offer tips and tricks and suggestions to help your knitting on this project and future projects. Here is a link to the introduction video #1. 

You will be able to find all the videos at: https://www.YouTube.com/MarlyBird.

Chasing Rainbows Baby Blanket Pattern

The story behind the Chasing Rainbows Baby Blanket PatternLW5174 Chasing Rainbows Baby Blanket by Marly Bird. Free Pattern

Don’t forget to Like this Pattern on Ravelry

The response on this free crochet blanket pattern has been incredible. It is one of the most popular patterns available on the Red Heart Website that was released this month. I am so happy that you like it! Seriously, when I hear from Red Heart that their website is blowing up with pattern downloads for MY PATTERN…it makes my day!

When I saw the finished project (crocheted by my Minion contractor, Mildred Diaz) I was giddy. I just knew using this stitch pattern with the Gumdrop yarn would make this blanket mouthwatering bright and it totally is!

The Chasing Rainbows Baby Blanket Pattern is one that I think is perfect for a boy or girl. Everybody loves rainbows and why not wrap your loved one in one?

Will there be a video?

Yes, I will be releasing a video tutorial next week for this fun blanket. So, gather your materials and join me to get started on it! Be sure to subscribe to the YouTube Channel! Learn On YouTube with Marly Bird. Free Knitting and Crochet

Mary Jane Mucklestone

Mary Jane Mucklestone celebrated her first visit to the Yarn Thing  podcast with Marly Bird with us today, and made doing a LIVE show look like a no brainer.

Mary Jane Mucklestone (grew up in Seattle, now lives in Portland, Maine) when really young, none of her family were knitters (except her great-grandmothers that she didn’t know), so she learned from neighbor. What she learned from her family was clothing and dressmaking, she remembers playing with dolls that had outfits created by family. A visit to Mexico, refreshed her crochet skills learned in childhood, especially with the fine yarns available. She was inspired by Ally McGraw’s character in ‘Love Story’ to make miniature cloche hats. [Read more…]

Kristin Omdahl’s NEW BOOK Continuous Crochet

March 1, 2016 By admin 21 Comments

Kristin Omdahl’s NEW BOOK Continuous Crochet was the topic that kicks off a new month on the Yarn Thing podcast with Marly Bird.KO Profile Pic

Kirstin has been a busy, BUSY lady in the yarn industry, which feels like an understatement to say, but really, for the rest of us, it’s a challenge for us to keep up. She began with her yarn lines (which she admits the names were inspired by the Spice Girls! Think about it “Be So SPORTY”!) which is now available through Amazon and WEBS. Her yarns are all 100% bamboo available in different weights, with luxurious drape and shine. [Read more…]

Pam Haschke of Halos of Hope

February 25, 2016 By admin 24 Comments

Pam Haschke of Halos of Hope was the AWESOME Guest of the Day on the Yarn Thing podcast with Marly Halos of Hope logoBird. Pamela Haschke is the Executive Director and Founder of Halos of Hope, now an eleven year cancer survivor. She has been on the program before, but it’s good to get caught up with this HERO and her organization.

Halos of Hope has just finished up their Stripe it Up campaign which suggests we use up the bits left over, especially after the holiday knitting, to make the unique and artistic hats that may make the day of someone who’s lost their hair as a side effect of chemo while fighting cancer. They also helped another organization by sending hats for kids to go with Joy Jars. [Read more…]
