打個很快就可完成的小圍巾 Knit a “Vite Cowl”

Knit a vite cowl for yourself especially when you get a yarn as a gift!

用一顆毛給自己打個小圍巾 !

Friend went to Machu Picchu, Peru and got a nice yarn for Miloh’s mom. why just one yarn ? because this is Miloh’s  mom favorite color but only one left in that yarn store 🙂

麥寳娘親的好友 去 秘魯 旅游。 給她帶回了一球毛 娘親最愛的顔色!

因爲店裏只剩一顆 還是買回來了 哈哈

這 擺明了 就是要讓 麥寳娘親挑戰 打毛織品的巧思與能力 :)

So here comes challenge, what to knit with this beautiful bulky yarn ?

記得在網路上看過這個小圍巾 , 剛好設計給一個粗毛線的。 於是 就動手吧!

Miloh mom remembered seeing this quick knitting small project “vite cowl” , so it may be really fit for this yarn, the only one yarn.

Half way…

打到一半出門玩 也帶在車上繼續打

knitting during a road trip…

Done! 坐在車上 一邊幫忙看路 一邊打毛線,還要小心數針。 也完成囖。

Instead of sewing the piece together as a cowl, Miloh mom decided to use it as a small scarf.
決定不把兩邊給接縫起來 ,就當個小圍巾。 美嗎?

Curl it up.. isn’t it beautiful ?!!

Special thanks to Miloh mom’s friend who is so thoughtful and dare to bring back only one yarn 🙂

結尾時 還是要再次感謝好朋友, 帶回了這一千零一個毛線回來。 這顏色 這設計的花色 麥寳娘親 真的很喜歡 也很滿意!

It has been so many raining days this winter, mom knit a lot.  Miloh, I , got so bored.

今年入冬 下了好多雨,麥寳有好多日子都不能出去院子挖土。

棒針編織 星星花樣 Knitting “Star Stitch” pattern

Twinkel twinkle little star.. 一閃一閃亮晶晶.

麥寶娘親 想要打條小圍巾 有 星星的花樣..在網路上找到了打法.

Miloh’s mom want to knit a scarf with star pattern.. and she found the star stitch pattern online .

Starting this with a pink yarn while waiting outside a physical checkup..kill some time.

在等著 健康檢查時.坐在外面 喝著咖啡.打打毛線

後來 又找到幾款毛線 打一樣的針法 看起來都很不錯ㄡ

Star Stitch 星星針

Cast on multiples of 4 + 1 so for example, I casted on 21 stitches (20+1)

Row 1: Knit the entire row 全部織下針

Row 2: purl 1, purl 3 together (keep on needle) then yarn over and purl together, repeat this start stitch to the last stitch then purl the last stitch. 

打1 上針, “把3上針 同時擺在棒針上, 掛一針 再一起打上針”, 把 ” ” 的針法重複打到剩下 最後一針打上針 

Row 3: Knit the entire row 全部織下針

Row 4: purl 3 stitches separately,  purl 3 together (keep on needle) then yarn over and purl together, repeat this start stitch to the last three stitches, then purl the last three stitches separately. 

打3 上針,  “把3上針 同時擺在棒針上, 掛一針 再一起打上針”, 把 ” ” 的針法重複打到剩下 最後3針,   打3上針 

repeat this pattern from row 1 to 4 until you finish your project.

這樣重複 1 – 4 直到 你要的長度.

(you can actually reverse the Knit and Purl depending on how you like the way to knit)

Neith, you want a ball of yarn to play ?

Neith is Miloh Sister’s cat, and she stay with us this summer.

Curious Neith!

麥寶姐姐的貓咪 Neith 暑假回家來住幾個月..她對麥寶娘親的毛線很感興趣.

簡單輕便的保暖物 Lightweight Simply knitting pieces

Have spent just a few days for all these very simple , quick knitting pieces.

The hat and smaller ,thin scarf are designed to put into handbag  as a handy  warm object.

The hand warmer is designed to put in front of computer, iPad while typing or swiping the screen. or, while you are knitting with needles in hands 🙂

花了 短短幾天晚上  打了些 小又輕巧的保暖物.

帽子和小圍巾 可以塞進隨身包 .無指手套是給打字.刷平版或打毛線時 用的.

IMG_1129.JPG

The yarns in recent years appear to be more designed in the skein so you don’t need to knit special pattern.. simple knit and purl pattern will create beautiful pattern by the yarn color itself!

這幾年來的毛線 真的是越來越美..即使 只打簡單的平針 ..不需多花時間..就可打出美美的花樣ㄡ~~

新年新希望和決心: 多打毛線,少做家事!  🙂

91歲「毛帽爺爺」91-year-old man in hospice care knits hats for the homeless

Being a long time knitter, I know the figures will hurt after long hours knitting even you are in love with knitting.  The hat man knit all day long for homeless people.When I read this article , I am touched!

This story remind me that a man I met before. He came to talk with me when I was knitting in the Doctor office waiting room. He told me he wish he know how to knit. His wife used to knit hundred of hats and sent over to Africa for kids before she passed away.

I bought the knitting loop for Miloh’s daddy years ago and hope he learn how to knit a hat. and He did! he ended up knitting 2 hats and one is still going on.. (for years… )

The loop actually can be great gift for young children or who want to knit but hard to learn how to pick up the knitting needles.

Can I say.. If Miloh’s dad can knit, so do you ?! 🙂

The Hat Man said, “There is a purpose of living..” Yes!

讀到這文章的時後..我真得很感動.看了很多關於他的報導, 他在病床上.整天不停的打毛帽給流浪漢們.

我很喜歡打毛線..知道常時間打..手指也會痛的! 他打的花色也都不錯.有設計.

多年前我教了兩小孩 拿棒針打毛線.他們也都各自完成一個簡單的圍巾.

幾年前 我決定送個 打毛線的工具給 麥寶的爸爸.他..不負眾望 (哈哈)..也完成了兩頂帽子

還有一個打了好久沒完成的 :)…

市面上現在有各種不同的打毛線工具  圓的 直的 大的 小的.可以打帽子.圍巾.襪套… 價格也不貴.

FYI,

91-year-old man in hospice care knits hats for the homeless

Morrie Boogaart is in hospice care with skin cancer – but his hands aren’t idle. The Michigan man has knit more than 8,000 hats for the homeless.

The ‘Hat Man’ continues to knit, receives yarn donation from Georgia company

91歲「毛帽爺爺」癌症病床上 為流浪漢織超過8000頂

第一個毛線成品2017 First knitting pieces

Ok.. It had been so low production for Miloh’s mom knitting projects 🙂 The inventory of yarns are more than the finished project 😦  Time to knit more especially it’s raining a lot recently that make more sense to pick up the needles.

麥寶娘親, 我, 不知在忙甚麼.. 車庫的毛線比打好的成品還多呀!

終於在2017年居然打出了些成品:)

 

Flower ? 花 還是…..

2017-01-10 11.39.59.jpg

再等一下 就有答案..

2017-01-10 11.42.40.jpg

 

ok.. It’s a scarf, head band and hooded hat set. Love the set ?

圍巾, 頭套 和 帽子..

2017-01-10 11.46.24.jpg

First Time try to knit the hooded hat, create the same Cable Pattern as scarf. seems ok but may need to improve a little bit next one.

第一次 打 套頭帽子. 設計了和圍巾一樣的花色. (扭繩 花樣).. 雖還有改進空間 但還算滿意.
