She feels ambivalent about my wip. I think she'd rather prefer a nice tuna treat but I don't think she minds being a lil cozier

New yarn means new needles:

Basically just an excuse to buy Tulip knitting needles because they make my favourite sewing needles.

The Tulips are indeed impressive. Bamboo but as smooth as birch. Super sharp, super pale, nice and long, super smooth join.

The only problem is that I thought that Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton was chainette, but it's actually Z-twist! Z-twist is supposed to be great for crochet, but the way yarn is wrapped in knitting, it undoes the Z-twist (I don't know if you can see that in the last photo), making it super splitty and therefore totally inappropriate for my super pointy new needles. I had to go super slow and careful to keep from splitting pretty much every stitch for the first several rows. I'm getting the hang of it now, but I'm going to switch to my HiyaHiyas (which I never use because they're too short for me) to see if it helps.

Comparison of all my bamboo knitting needles:

Top to bottom:

2.25mm mystery fixed that I got at the Chaînon

3mm HiyaHiya interchangeable

3mm Tulip Knina Swivel fixed

3.25mm ChiaoGoo fixed (much edited with sandpaper)

3.75mm Clover Takumi interchangeable

Slow progress. A simple lace, but the start made fiddly by very light yarn.

Frogged so much of my project because when I woke up this morning I realized the entire part I crocheted last night was uneven. I guess I can’t drink and crochet. I have no attention span for counting my stitches, so I guess it’s bound to happen. Pains me because this was hours of work. 😞

The one good thing is that I really love the new ombré colorful cotton yarn I picked for this project. It was so hard choosing!!

I’m currently working on a water bottle holder. The cotton yarn that I’m using is stiff enough that when I take the bottle out, the holder stays standing on its own and this is endlessly amusing to me.

FO: Desert-Inspired K+C Tote

Hallo friends!

You may have noticed I stepped away for a bit on this blog. Last time I posted, it was a couple days before Mother's Day in the US, and I had just had to frog over 10 inches of scarf due to an error. Learn from me - count your stitches. I got too confident.

So I intentionally took a bit of a break, partly because I was about to go on a trip for vacation, and partly because I was on a milestone long-term vacation leave for four weeks and I was intentionally trying to make the time disconnected from work to decompress and relax. I tried not to put pressure on myself to post. But I did try to stay somewhat productive with my crafting. Frogging was an absolute bummer, so I managed ... eh, four rows on that thing.

I regrouped by starting some new WIPs, and one of them I actually finished.

I found myself at the local JOANN (craft store chain in the US) during my time off, and even though I just needed a size up in knitting needles, I had wanted to give their K+C brand cotton yarn a feel, a try if I liked it.

For a quick reference: K+C Cotton - Category 3, 100% cotton, 180 yards, 3.5 oz.

I really like enjoy their labelling, which includes a knit stockinette image of what the yarn will look like worked up. It's a very nice touch, as yarns can evolve in their aesthetic from skein or hank, cake or ball, and in the final presentation of your piece.

As I was there, I was inspired by the colors to prepare a desert themed tote. My vacation in a few days would be to travel to a part of the country I've never visited including the Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce, and the deserts in Arizona and Nevada.

Since I am home now, here are a couple shots from my trip, and you can let me know how well I managed to match colors before ever seeing these places in person! (note, all pictures taken by me - Canon Rebel T8i)

My JOANN had a selection of the colors, and Zion was not among them. But not all was lost. Though some of the names of the yarns are direct hits to the above, I chose four colorways for my desert colors.

For places I was going to visit - Canyon, Red Rocks For complementary colors - Santa Fe, Golden Coast

We're going oranges, reds, yellows, a scattering of grey.

I used the recommended 3.75 mm crochet hook throughout.

I knew I wanted the Golden Coast yellow to be my border, so to start I just started cranking out granny squares. Canyon became the consistent color in each of the squares, and I used either Santa Fe or Red Rocks with the variegated stripes as the main color scheme.

The granny square itself is motif #113 in Beyond the Square: Crochet Motifs, by Edie Eckman, and I love it for that extra bit of variety and those beautiful circle centers that truly show off the variegated yarns.

The layout you see above is a common structure for creating a bag. There are a few different graphics you can use, and this is a 13-square version, and you'll find it in a number of patterns. There is one more Red Rocks square than the Santa Fe, and as you can see I did some rearranging throughout the layout before I decided on the final in the left hand picture. I did some winging it with connecting all the squares together, but I knew I wanted the yellow to pop. So I used a single crochet border to connect all the squares. Since it's the front of the squares, the actually granny sits a bit behind. Some good 3-D flair, in my opinion.

If you've made it this far, thank you so much! I know the exciting part is the final piece, so here ya go!

I know I should have gotten a photo of her out in the desert wilds, but I am afraid I used this bag to hold all of my crafting items throughout the trip, so she was less portable than my purse.

I loved working with this yarn - the variegation was a constant surprise, especially since I worked it up in crochet instead of knit, and the color options give you a lot to play with even with the solids. It was a soft cotton that felt good on my hands. The pattern worked up quickly, both in the granny construction and final assembly, but I did work on it exclusively and for a few days in a row.

Now I just need to choose where to go next, and whether to bring her along or start a new one!

Donnie doesn't really like to hang out with me as much as some of the other cats, so I had to take a rare opportunity to get a WIP pic with him :P

Someone posted a question asking about how to keep your hands from hurting when knitting with cotton, but now I can't find it. So if you see them, can you tell them:

I knit with cotton a lot, and I find the biggest problem is how slippery it is. I find that in order to keep my hands relaxed and just let the needles do the knitting, I need to make sure I'm:

Using very grippy needles like bamboo or plastic, and

Using a really good moisturizer on my hands that makes my skin a little grippier.

Remember to keep your hands relaxed! If your gauge isn't what you want it to be, switch needle sizes. Your stitches won't stretch, so don't pull on them: Let the needles so the knitting.

YMMV, of course.

#applies to other slippery yarns like bamboo and linen too #knitblr #knitting #cotton yarn #yarnblr #slippery yarn
