New Pattern OberLandForstMeister Cardigan by La Maison Rililie Designs
The last months were quite busy ones here in the La Maison Rililie Headquarters and my latest pattern, the OberLandForstMeister was published just last week! This cardigan pattern is part of the Bricks & Woods Collection, organised and curated by Magasin Duett and which features 8 different designers!
You can see a video of the complete collection by clicking on this link! I am truly honoured to participate this third time in one of the wonderful collections that Petra is organising to showcase one of their lovely yarns.
This year it was the Mohair Tweed we all worked with and I have to admit that I am quite smitten by this beautiful and soft yarn in all those incredible colours and the great hand that allows so many shapes and forms to stand the time.

On another note I wanted to share a super generous offer with you guys!
I was contacted by LoveCrafts with an offer for my readers.... YOU!

LoveCrafts is no new kid on the knitting platform planet: 
As you might remember, LoveKnitting and LoveCrochet were two separate sites, and now they’re combined with some other new crafts into one virtual craft room - the aptly called LoveCrafts!
Of course they still offer all kinds of stuff related to knitting, crochet and sewing, but now there are also crafts like embroidery and cross stitch covered and they tell me that there are more exciting crafts to come! Their aim is to create a home for all like-minded people to explore the family of crafts. 

I was with LoveKnitting since 2015 and am still updating my patterns there. You can find me amongst many others as a designer on their site... together with a huge offer on yarn that you can order together with any pattern and a big choice on haberdashery, notions and tools and lots of other stuff.

So in short, they offer a celebratory discount code for you to enjoy!!!
You can use the following 20% discount code on the LoveCrafts site:

MAISON20

Keep in mind that the code can only be used once per person and that it is valid for a month from today (until the 29th of September 2019). It can't be used on pdf patterns, sale items and e-gift cards but you can go wild on anything else!
Both new and returning customers can use the code as well which is great.

Thank you so much Sarah from LoveCrafts for this lovely gift to the knittingtherapy blog readers!

The Soft SHAPING of An I-Cord

16/8/2019

Comments

 
For my upcoming pattern (one that shall be published in the next week) I needed a different approach to work the renown i-cord bind off, the professional looking edging we already cherish and love...
How to work an i-cord BO with a low volume start and ending - a tutorial by La Maison Rililie Designs
I wanted something, that allowed this very neat border to flow discreetly in and out of the fabric, whenever I should choose for it to do so.... this means that I wanted to allow the cord to get to its full volume and shape after having worked some rows of it and not right from the very beginning (as is the case when we immediately cast on the 3 needed stitches for it) and also to subdue softly at the end of it's cording existence.

Whenever the i-cord bind off is not worked in a complete and eternal, grafted circle, it starts and ends abruptly with a thick wulst when constructed in the common way. In these sad cases one often tries to hide it's bulk by sewing parts of it into place and pulling some sections out of the way while doing all kinds of stuff that are never really too efficient in hiding all of it's hideousness!

So!
Fast forward to today...
In the case that you are one of my fellow knitters that had similar unfortunate i-cord experiences before when finishing your (otherwise) hand-knitted masterpiece, you might be happy to try out this tutorial I just uploaded.

Hopefully my suggestion for a softly starting and discreetly ending i-cord bind off can help you keep those edges of your very own masterpiece as neat as possible!
