Grafting is one of my favorite techniques in knitting, as it creates a seamless, invisible join.
The technique varies a bit between stitch patterns. The Garter stitch graft is the easiest, because it’s the same repeat on the front and back needle (because there are knit stitches on both RS and WS in Garter stitch):
Start with the front needle:
1) Insert the needle knit-wise through the first stitch and slip it off.
2) Insert the needle purl-wise through the next stitch and pull it through.
Repeat the same two steps on the back needle.
As each stitch should be worked twice, you should do a setup before starting the repeat on both the front and back needle: insert the needle purl-wise through the first stitch and pull it through (same as step 2 of the repeat).
At the very end, when there is only 1 stitch left on each needle, work step 1 (knit-wise, slip off) on both front and back needle once more.
My tip is to not work with too much tension and adjust it to match your knit tension every so often.
You’ll need about 3x the length of the graft for your tail end. If this would be ridiculously long, you can work with shorter lengths of yarn and add a new piece when one runs out.

My Gridlines sweater is taking shape! 🩷
It’s going to be so incredibly fluffy and warm and perfect.
I was probably the first person to walk out of @WollHabitat with the new @DeRerumNatura yarn Bérénice - it was the perfect timing as I was looking for a fluffy yarn to combine with Gilliatt.
Both are an absolute dream!
Pattern coming later this fall.

I’ve been tempted by these colors to cast in a new project! 🩷💛🤍
On my needles is the beginnings of a Shusui Shrug spinn-off, the next chapter, if you will. 😊
I’ve wanted to revisit the wearable shawl for a while and I just love the ease of one-color brioche stripe. Not sure if they’ll be just for the yoke or throughout yet.
What do you think?

I found the perfect buttons to go with my two Baseline Cardigans at my local crafts store yesterday! Yay! 🎉
🧶 The coconut buttons have a stripe design and are a great match for the striped version, knit in Tweedy and Tweedy Soot by @hedgehogfibres.
🧶 The peachy pink buttons match the cuffs of the otherwise uni cardigan perfectly. This one is knit with Corrie Confetti in Aimèe Peach Sweater and Corrie in Fluoro Morganite by @labienaimee.
Pattern coming soon!

It’s blocking day!🎉☀️
I’m making the most of this sunny fall day and blocking some recently (and some not so recently) finished projects.
🧶 First is a Brioche Mode Baby Blanket, for the newest members of my extended family.
🧶 Next is the Baseline Cardigan that I already know I’ll be living in (I was already wearing it before blocking), and which still needs buttons.
🧶 And lastly a Porto shawl that I finished in early summer but never got around to blocking.

Sunny autumnal errands in my SOSU Gridlines!☀️😊
I blocked this one out a little too hard the last time I washed it, so it’s a little extra boxy until the next wash. I’m not mad about it! 😉
Still one of my all-time favorites!

Happy FO Friday! 🎉
Turns out you were all absolutely right: there is no such thing as too stripey! 😊
I finally finished the striped version of the Baseljne Cardigan that I starter back in spring. You may remember it from a time I posted the unfinished and sleeves WIP, unsure about the stripes.
Now I just need to find some buttons…
The pattern has been mostly finished for a while, so you can look out for the pattern later this month!
🧶 I’m still obsessed with Tweedy by @hedgehogfibres.

Throwback to the beginning of summer and the reveal of the Brioche Mode shawl. 🎉🧶🩷
It’s finally getting a little cooler and sweater/shawl weather is just around the corner - I can almost feel it!
So if you haven’t already, now is the time to finish your #SOSUknitsMKAL2023 shawl a or cast on fresh a #BriocheModeShawl 😊

Wishing myself back onto this lovely lake, knitting in the shade on a hot day.
What a lovely and relaxing day - followed by fantastic food! 😊
It’s gray and murky Sunday, full of all the little chores that were put off in the heat of the past week.
There will be more knitting latter, but the view certainly won’t compete.
I hope you have a relaxing Sunday!

It’s finally happening! 🩷
The cozy Gridlines sweater will be out later this year. 🎉
I finally managed to decide on the perfect yarn combination for a perfectly cozy sweater, the warm winter version of the popular Gridlines pattern.
Can’t wait to tell you more!
What is a feature your dream sweater should have?

7月中旬には完成していたのだけれど、ようやく編みたい気持ちが湧いてきました。今年のブリKALなに編もうかな。
きょう履いてるのはパパのデニム。20本くらいあったので全部持ってきた。サイズぴったりなんだよね…w
70歳過ぎても毎日ジーンズ履いてたパパってカッコイイ。自慢のパパだよ☺️
Die langsamste Strickerin der Welt vermeldet #halbzeit beim #travelmodeshawl. 😎🧶
Festgestellt bisher:
📌Das Garn ist ein Traum und verstrickt sich wie eine ☁️ #cashmerino
📌Das Muster ist - obwohl kraus rechts - nicht öde und wird nicht langweilig. Und man kann während des Strickens "Only Murders In The Building" schauen. Double-Whammie!📺
📌Meine Kamera kann kein Neon. Irgendeine Frage säuft ab, während die anderen seltsam aussehen. 🥴
Gut, da müsst ihr durch, ich sehe das Original und freu mich, weil ich im Winter leuchten werde.
Ich strick jetzt noch ein paar Reihen am Lieblingsplatz und genieße den Herbstsonnenschein, bevor es mit der lästigen Hausarbeit weitergeht. Lösungen hierfür werden entgegengenommen 😁

Sonntagvormittag im Garten, der #gridlinessweater ist relativ genau zur Hälfte fertig und wird, soweit man das beurteilen kann, wirklich gut.

I finally used my grenouilleco 2022 advent! I used every color except one and all that is left is going into my Northeasterly blanket.

I’m still a little shocked and pleased when I knit something challenging and out looks just like the pattern 😄. This #briocheandmystery is a lot of fun!

Finally got around to (lightly) blocking both #travelmodeshawl. I didn’t do the edging on either because the idea of icord bind off for that many stitches gave me nightmares.
