 <\/p>\n

With Tiphaine, I am at the workshop \u00ab\u00a0Double knitting\u00a0\u00bb by Amy Detjen.<\/p>\n

I am very impatient to discover this technique because I don’t understand how it is possible to make reversible knitted. After the workshop, I can say positively, it is possible to knit a pattern which has two right sides and no wrong side !<\/p>\n

In fact, we knit a positive side and a negative side ; for example, a yellow square with a pink pattern, and on the other side a pink square with a yellow pattern.<\/p>\n

Every stitch is a double stitch with a knit and a purl in two different colours. During knitting, it is very important to put both yarns in the same side (on the right side or on the wrong side).<\/p>\n

Look at the following pictures. In the workshop, we knit a square with a heart.<\/p>\n

In a side, the square is brown and the heart is tan.<\/p>\n

On the other side, the square is tan and the heart is brown.<\/p>\n

\"P1470707\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can see the brown and tan stitches on the needle.<\/p>\n

\"P1470746\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And if you look attentively, you can see a mistake. I forgot to put the tan yarn on the other side and then it make a\u00a0 tan bar on the brown heart.<\/p>\n

\"P1470709\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It is a simple technique but it ‘is neccessary to well understand it, otherwise it is difficult to knit patterns and change colors at the good place.<\/p>\n

Amy Detjen is funny and very nice. We spent a very good moment.<\/p>\n

I already see which use I can make of double knitting : baby blankets or scarves.<\/p>\n

Radical change with the next workshop : \u00ab\u00a0Get organised\u00a0\u00bb. It is the realisation of a knitting book to help us for knitting projects : pattern, yarn, sample. I have already a\u00a0 book for my sewing works, and it’is really useful. Here we are with Laura West, profesional bookbinder.<\/p>\n

And we do all : cut, bonded, bounded !<\/p>\n

Here is the result.<\/p>\n

And Laura gives us cards and pockets to put inside.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Laura. We’ll see her later to Portree at Skie Island where she lives.<\/p>\n

For her part, Tiphaine participates in others workshops : \u00ab\u00a0Taatit rug\u00a0\u00bb and \u00ab\u00a0Felted creature\u00a0\u00bb. Taatit rug<\/a> are a very northern tradition. Those bedcovers were realised especially for marriage by both families and were put together by a seam.<\/p>\n

At \u00ab\u00a0Felted creature\u00a0\u00bb workshop, Tiphaine realizes this handmade creature. It looks like a troll, no ?<\/p>\n

\"P1470749\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And my husband ? He doesn’t do a knitting workshop but a photo workshop to learn how to photograph creations, mine, for example…<\/p>\n

And all together we visit sheep farm. I will tell you about it next time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
