Bobbles






Machine Knitting bobbles can be fun and add a new look to your hats, sweaters and more.
First I removed 4 stitches off the knitting machine needles leaving a center stitch on the machine. I mean that I am removing 2 each side of the center needles onto a double-pointed needle. Leave center stitch on machine
I manually knit one stitch (center stitch)with a contrast color
I then e-wrapped one needle on each side of the center. contrast color
I manually knit 3 stitches. contrast color
I e-wrapped one needle each side, manually knit 5 stitches. contrast color
I decreased 1 stitch each side and knit one row,contrast color
repeated down to one stitch contrast color.
I then put up the 4 stitches that I removed of the main color and continued to knit.

Heart Pillow Cover



This heart Pillow cover I designed will just slip over your pillow and wala you have a Valentines Day Pillow. Knit on the knitting machine with 2/24 yarn (or 1/12) knit 2 strands for each color. I knit double bed using the ribber and on my Brother, Knitking machine I push the MCrib button for double bed knitting so I would not have any floats. I added beaded trim on the edges.
