Stitchlogue Blog: handmade by Calista

In this posting, I'll switch the gear and talk about a machine knitting stitch.
There was a question on how to knit a half milano stitch on the Facebook machine knitting community, so I'm posting a tutorial on it.
A half milano stitch is consisted of one row of full needle rib and another row of jersey. It can be done across entire rows, but a lot of times it is used to stabilize edges of panels knit in jersey. It is often used along the side edges of scarves...

My new(ish) pattern was published on the last winter issue of Knitty last month, and I haven't posted it on my blog for a month now! How time flies especially in December.
I began sketching for this style about this time last year. I initially designed it as a long sleeve tunic at first, but thought it looked more stylish in short sleeves....

Whoa! It was last fall that I posted my last posting, and another fall is already here. :D
I wanted to share the picture of the fall centerpiece that I created.
I love baby boo pumpkins. They are the cutest pumpkins and instantly create modern but warm Fall ambiances. Happy Fall to you all!...

I can't believe my last post was written in December 2013. I'm such a sloppy blogger.
However, this time again I'm back with a free pattern!
I actually made this sweater a few years ago.
