this juxtaposition. One day we were shooting Beach Boho Lace (page

addi Turbo Rockets Sock & Lace Needle Set
When I think of summer, I think of lace. In my beach bag or in my hiking
pack you’re guaranteed to find a project made of delicate fibers, tiny needles, and
yarnovers. So naturally, when planning a new needle kit with Addi for summer, a
set for lace and socks came to mind. Meet the new addi Turbo Rockets Sock & Lace
Needle Set, featuring six fixed 40" circular needles in sizes US 00 (1.75 mm), US 0
(2 mm), (2.25 mm), US 1 (2.5 mm), (2.75 mm), and US 2 (3 mm). Created for the lace
knitter and magic loop sock knitter, this set has every size you will need for tiny
stitches and elegant openwork.

ireflies from your back porch. Here, we have compiled a handful of both classic and new laceweight
yarns in a variety of iber contents and ample yardage. Give them all a try this summer.

Y arn Fest 2016 marked my first Yarn Fest and it was a wonderful
experience! There were new vendors, educational demos, interesting
classes, and talks by leaders in our industry. Classes covered everything
from knitting, to spinning, to weaving, to crochet, and embroidery;
students were sitting comfortably in the “Stitching Den” after class
March 31- April 3, 2016 practicing their new skills. The marketplace was bustling all day with
booths representing yarn shops, indie artisans, small yarn companies,
Loveland, Colorado and fiber farms. Since all our readers were not able to attend Yarn Fest
this year, we’ve brought a bit of Yarn Fest to our readers! Check out the
following companies that were part of Yarn Fest 2016. Please visit their
websites and check out their amazing products. Keep an eye out for
information on our upcoming Yarn Fest 2017!

How To Design
SET-IN SLEEVES

Timbers Sweater
on pg. 62
A set-in sleeve allows a garment to it the body closely with minimal extra fabric to interfere with it or
manifest itself in unsightly folds. he dimensions of the sleeve cap are determined by those of the arm-
hole; here, I will demonstrate how a properly itted cap is drafted for a handknitted garment using the armhole
measurements. I have simpliied the process of drafting the cap by using the same shaping on the front and back
armholes and a symmetrical cap. When you compare the shapes of a sewn bodice and sleeve cap for use with woven
fabrics to those of a knitting pattern, you will notice that the sewing pattern’s curves are more complex, with the
armhole and sleeve cap shaped diferently on the front and the back of the bodice.
Even if you compare sewing patterns for us, because knitted fabric is stretchy the torso and the arm (the break point).

Step 1
7.5" (19.05 cm)
deep armhole
DRAW THE ARMHOLE
Draw the armhole to scale. Do this even if you have already knitted the body, because
you will need to be able to draw the sleeve on top of it. In my example, the armhole is
7.5" (19.05 cm) deep. I need to find the measurement of the armscye (the measurement
of the entire curved edge of the armhole). In order to do this, I can either measure work
around the armhole with a flexible ruler or tape, or I can do some basic math and figure straight
it out. I will show you how the basic math works; doing so clarifies where the measure- decrease
ment comes from. Because this armhole is shaped the same way on front and back, I bind of stitches
can find the measurement for one side and then double it for the whole armscye. The at underarm
armhole shaping consists of binding off some stitches at the underarm, then decreasing
some stitches over a certain length, and finally knitting straight until the armhole is the
desired length.
Underarm bind-off: Divide the number of stitches bound off by the stitch gauge per
inch. I bound off 8 stitches = 1.33" (3.38 cm).
Decreases: I decreased 7 stitches over 15 rows (first decrease row plus every right-side row five times and every 4th row
once). I need to find the hypotenuse (c) of the right triangle formed by the width of the stitches decreased (a) and the height of
the rows worked (b). For this, I use the Pythagorean Theorem.
Step 2
A
THE PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM
Because I want to know what c is, first I must solve the equation for c.
c b
2 2
c =a +b 2
c = √(a2+b2 )
A is 7 stitches, or 1.17" (2.97 cm). B is 15 rows, or 1.88" (4.78 cm). a
Pythagorean Theorem
c = √(1.172+1.882 )
a2 + b2 = c2
c = √(1.37+3.53)
c = √4.9
c = 2.21" (5.61 cm)
Straight section: The total armhole is 7.5" (19.05 cm) or 60 rows. I have accounted for 2 bind-off rows and 15 rows of shap-
ing (17 rows), so there are 43 rows remaining, or 5.38" (13.67 cm).
On one side, the armhole measures 1.33" (3.38 cm) + 2.21" (5.61 cm) + 5.38" (13.67 cm) = 8.92" (22.66 cm). Multiply that by
two to get the entire armscye = 17.84" (45.31 cm).

Step 4
CREATE KNITTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CAP
The sleeve cap is 5.75" (14.60 cm) tall. At my row gauge, that is 46 rows.
I also have determined the sleeve width—13.50" (34.29 cm), or 81
stitches. I will bind off the same number of stitches at each underarm
bind of stitches
as for the body (8 stitches)—65 stitches remain. There will be a section
at top of cap
at the top of the cap that is bound off straight across (the drafted lines
bind of gradually
show more of a shallow curve at the top, but a portion of this curve is
decrease gradually usually translated to a straight bind-off at the top). I will bind off 13
stitches at the top, or 2.16" (5.49 cm).
bind of stitches
at underarm
The number of stitches I must decrease or bind off on each side is (65 –
13)/2 = 26 stitches on each side. I have 44 rows remaining in which to do
this (46 rows of cap minus 2 bind-off rows at the underarm).
I can decrease 1 stitch at each side on the next row and on every
right-side row 17 more times, then work one wrong-side row even—18
stitches decreased on each side over 36 rows; 29 stitches remain. Recall
Step 3, where you reflected the portion of the underarm decreases on
the body onto the bottom of the sleeve cap; I have kept the same shaping
here because I began with every-other-row decreases. Next, I will bind
off 2 stitches at the beginning of the next 8 rows—8 stitches bound off
on each side over 8 rows; 13 stitches remain. The remaining 13 stitches
are bound off straight across.

Theorem. I recommend working in a spreadsheet because
you can copy and paste the formulas and enter new a
gauges for future use. 18 sts = 3" (7.62 cm)
Divide the sloped side of the cap into two triangles, one
for each shaping rate (decreases and bind-offs). Find c of The armscye is 17.84" (45.31 cm), so there will be 1.12" (2.84 cm)

The Crossroads Carryall is a sturdy, lined linen bag big enough to
hold your knitting, books, and supplies for a weekend adventure. The
two-tone color scheme and curved upper body make this bag useful
and attractive. The plaited basketweave stitch worked with two
strands of worsted-weight linen gives this bag its solid construction;
the applied cord edging, leather handles, and sewn-in lining provide a
polished look. Alex Capshaw-Taylor. PAGE 76. YARN Lang Yarn Lino,

Lofty woolen-spun yarn worked in a textured

chase away the chill of late summer
evenings. Set-in sleeves add a bit of finesse
to the Timbers Sweater, which is worked in
