Article Feature on Knitting Daily!

So guess who was mentioned in today’s knitting daily? Me! Hooray! My article on counting cabled rows came out this month and I am so excited that Sarah tipped me off when the article was mentioned on Knitting Daily! You can read the full post here.

I am really excited about this particular article for two reasons – one it is the first article (vs pattern) I’ve ever written for a magazine and two it’s the first article I’ve done illustrations for! You can get it on the magazine stand now – it’s the Fall 09 issue of Knit Scene by Interweave Press.

“…So I’ll bet you’re thinking “Counting rows—why is she talking about this, it’s so easy!” Well, I’m talking about it because I want to pass on some tricks from Kristin Roach about counting your rows in a cable, which, if you’ve done cable work, you know isn’t as easy as it sounds.

All patterns call for cable crossings to be done every such-and-such number of rows, but it’s difficult to count rows from a crossing because the stitches are distorted when they’re pulled across each other. I never used to be sure exactly which row was the crossed row, but I’m confident in my counting after reading these tips in Kristin’s Knitscene article.

Thanks, Kristin, I know we’ll use this tip a lot.

Happy counting!
