Centered Double Decrease (CDD)
zhlédnutí 402Před 10 měsíci
A centered double decrease in knitting decreases 3 stitches down to 1. The center stitch remains on top and creates an attractive spine. Slip 2 sts together as if to k2tog, k1, then pass slipped sts over.

Murmuration
zhlédnutí 128Před 3 lety
Murmuration is the collective noun for starlings, but it's also the name for their mesmerizing flight. I am often inspired by nature, so it's not surprising that I designed a knit shawl inspired by this magical sight.

Corner-to-Corner (C2C) Crochet Technique

This video shows the basic corner-to-corner (C2C) crochet technique. C2C lends itself nicely to pixelated designs, but that means there can be a lot of ends to weave in. I’ve come up with rules for whether to carry or cut the yarn in order to minimize the finishing later on. Then, I show how to work decreases to finish the other half of your rectangle.

Bronwyn's Kfbf Bind-Off
zhlédnutí 648Před 5 lety
I don't know if I've invented this bind-off or just "unvented" it. Regardless, it creates a simple edge for a shawl. The bind-off does tend to frill and flare a little due to the tripling of stitches along the edge, so it isn't suitable for all projects. It also uses quite a bit more yarn than a traditional bind-off, again, because of the increase in stitches. As you approach the end of your ba...

    The only problem I have with this stitch is the giant hole that’s left over after you work those three stitches. Is there a way to get rid of it?

    • @BronwyntheBraveDesigns
      @BronwyntheBraveDesigns Před měsícem

      I think most designers see the giant hole as a feature. 😉It's usually there for a reason--often as part of a lace pattern or a stretchy-ish edge for a shawl. A kfbf would be a more closed increase, but it will be a little lumpy and still visible in stockinette. (Slipping the last st "f" rather than knitting it will smooth it out a little.) A (yo, k1, yo) where you purl the yarnovers through the back on the WS will increase 2 and close up the holes. Using a backwards loop-type of m1 will give the same effect as the "yokyo" without having to ptbl on the WS row: (m1, k1, m1). Either of those two options will have visible twisted sts, but the holes will be mostly closed. Any time you change the increases, you'll want to be mindful of what comes before and after the kyok in the pattern. You wouldn't want the alternative increase to interfere with any yarnovers or other sts next to it.

    Best instructional video on the Internet demonstrating this BO in the round all the way through to grafting the last few stitches and weaving in the ends. Beautifully executed, explained, and filmed in a way that is easy to follow and see... the contrasting colors are a definite plus! Other vids were hard to follow, with distracted, meandering dialogue, fuzzy or hard to see filming, or were filmed without any instructional dialogue whatsoever and/or with loud, distracting music. Thank you for making a vid that made learning this daunting technique so easy... it turned what promised to be a frustrating, dispiriting endeavor into a pleasant venture with delightful results. 🙏👍🏆🧶❤️

    Great video! I appreciate the explanation re: the difference between placing the bead before vs. after knitting the stitch. It’s easier, of course, to just place it before knitting, so I talked myself into believing that it really didn’t matter and that designers were just overly fussy people. Now I understand! The points of the diamonds really wouldn’t have looked right had you placed the beads before knitting the stitches. I was hoping that using the Superfloss would streamline things, but I think I still prefer the first method with the crochet hook. Questions: What pattern are you using? And what yarn? Gorgeous work!
