[Nfb-krafters-korner] Knitting: picking up wraps

Thu Jun 14 11:32:41 UTC 2018

Hi Tracy, Cindy & All,

I heard your request for a "Short Row" technique class.  I will consider
teaching this as a 1 session class, but it will have to wait until next
January.  Again this year I am handling the exhibit hall for our state
convention, on top of all the other things in my life.  I will work with the
person who sets the class calendar and pick a Saturday afternoon in January
2019.  If someone else is interested in teaching it before then, I'm fine
with that.  I'm pretty sure that there is at least 1 other person in KK who
knows these techniques.

Annette

Thanks Annette.  That's a good idea.
I too am interested in the German short-row technique you mention.

Tracy,

As you are creating the wrap, place a locking stitch marker on it.  This
will allow you to find the strand and either pick it up and place it on the
needle or slip your needle under it.  I find picking up the wrap to be a
very fussy tasks, that I have resorted to using the German short row
technique instead of the wrap and turn.

I understand the pattern well.  I know how to wrap the stitches, and I even
know why.  The thing I'm having trouble with is feeling the wraps on the
wrapped stitches so I can "pick up the wrap and knit it with the stitch".
Sock yarn is thin, and the wrapping is snuggled along the base of the stitch
to be knitted.  So, does anyone have a trick for feeling the little rascals?
