[Nfb-krafters-korner] Adding pictures to knits

Mon Jan 29 13:53:41 UTC 2018

I have two design ideas for loom knit shawls with pictures that I would love to make, but not sure how to go about getting it done. Each one has a good deal of detail so it might take more than knits & purls.

That is why it is easy doing the purl stitch and you can find patterns out
there written out row by row.

Finding out the right way to change colors often to make a picture is what
brought me to this list. I have a picture of a lighthouse I would like to
knit, but it has as little as one or two stitches of a color in a row. It
changes color a number of times in a single row. I sure would appreciate
knowing how to do this if someone knows how to do it. It seems like a great
big mystery to me, a secret nobody wants to give up. Maybe some people have
come to the list since I posed this question before. A person that ran a
yarn shop told me a way to change color, but it wasn't workable for changing
color numerous times in a row.

Intarsia is colorwork, and I haven't tried it really.  What I do is just
knit in the pattern, without changing color.
It's a bit tricky to knit in the round, because I have to remember to
reverse the stitches every other row, as dishcloth patterns are written to
be worked flat.  But I've done it often, since I prefer to knit in the
round.

Hi Tracy, this sounds like a form of Entarsia, correct?
I'd like to find a picture of either an Indian, Black Lab or horse that I
could knit into a pull over sweater that I'd knit in the round.
Thanks for the ideas.

I just saw an ad for some dishcloth patterns, which reminded me of a thing I
do other people might enjoy.

I've knitted quite a few tops of various sorts, and on some I've knitted in
a picture, using a dishcloth pattern.  If it's a small picture, I've
repeated it 2 or 3 times, with an inch or 2 between the repeats.  I've done
a peacock, and a couple different kinds of flowers.  I'm keeping in mind for
future projects a Texas longhorn, a goose, a snowflake, and a reindeer.

If I'm not sure how the pattern will come out, I knit up the dishcloth
first.

Free dishcloth patterns are easy to find on the Internet.

Just thought other people might find this method as entertaining as I do.

Tracy
