EDITOR’S NOTE

Dear Reader,
Colorado is a place where winter spans
October through May and that has 300
days of sunshine a year. Originally from
Kansas, I find this pairing to be nearly
impossible. Yet this is my seventh year
living this reality. I tire of the winter
after about the first month, and I have to remind myself it
won’t really feel like summer until June (got to plan for that
annual Mother’s Day weekend snow, people!). But once June
hits, Colorado is a blissful dream for three full months.
Despite the seemingly endless winters, I am fortunate and
thankful to live in a place where I can knit outside comfortably all
summer. I knit lying by the pool. I knit relaxing on a blanket in
my backyard, or in the park a mile away from my house. I knit
alongside the Poudre River (locally pronounced “pooder,” I’m
not even kidding) just north and east of town, or on the top of a
mountain after a challenging but strengthening hike.
Even in Colorado’s 300 days of sunshine and snow, in
the heart of Fort Collins there is a tropical environment to be
found. The Solarium Colorado Hotel is off the beaten path but
is a beautiful and unique place to stay should you find yourself Photo stylist Tina Gill makes wardrobe adjustments.

in the area. There is, in fact, a solarium in the main part of the
building, which is where we photographed this issue. With
palm trees, wicker seating, and a fishpond, this space proved
perfect for all the shots we needed to capture. Our resources
don’t allow for us to travel very far for photography, despite
off-season shoots and snow on the ground during “summer,”
but this sweet little spot in Colorado allowed us to capture the
look we were going for. Otherwise, capturing this summery
vibe would have been nearly impossible.
In these photos taken in the Solarium, the bright knitwear
really shines, and I found myself aching to do some summer
knitting despite the outside temperature being in the teens.
Shortly after, I cast on Rachel Brockman’s Golden Tamarin
Tee (page 29), because I felt the need to be ready for summer
with a beautiful summery knit. Sure, my yarn is black, like
my soul, but that doesn’t mean I won’t wear it at least once a
week this summer, soaking up all the sun I can.

Happy summer knitting,

P.S. Interweave just released a new podcast, and I’m

hosting! It’s called The Knitting Nerdcast, and my friends
and I get deep into some super nerdy knitting topics. Find it A big thanks to the Solarium Colorado Hotel in Fort
wherever you listen to podcasts! Collins for hosting our photo shoot. See their offerings

 A PRIMER ON KNITTED LACE

Traditional laceweight yarn yields beautiful lace patterns, but sport,

worsted, and bulky yarns can be equally effective. A smooth, light-
colored fingering or sportweight yarn worked on a needle three to
four sizes larger than you’d normally use creates a fluid fabric in
which the lace pattern is clearly visible. But fuzzy yarns and dark,
variegated colors yield impressive results, too. Experiment with
different yarns and needle sizes when you’re swatching lace patterns
to see the variety of effects that you can create with a single pattern;
you’ll quickly find out what appeals to you.

GETTING STARTED—YARNOVERS AND

DECREASES IN A SIMPLE LACE PATTERN

A yarnover is a stitch made by a loop or strand of yarn placed on

the right-hand needle as you work. On the return row, this loop is
worked as you would any other stitch; once knitted, it leaves a small
opening in the knitting. Each yarnover is counted as an increase
of one stitch. Every yarnover is paired with a decrease that may LACE PATTERN #1
immediately precede or follow the yarnover, appear several stitches
away from the yarnover in the same row, or even be worked on a
later row. The decreases used in lace knitting are standard: k2tog,

two knit stitches and is worked as follows: After knitting the stitch k2tog

that travels over the top of the needle is the yarnover, and it counts k1, p2sso
as one stitch, so the stitch after the yarnover shouldn’t be counted
as part of the yarnover. pattern repeat

FIGURE 1

Note that in this pattern, you are working the yarnovers and
decreases for lace patterning on the right-side rows. The wrong-side
return rows are considered “rest rows” because they are worked
without any yarnovers or decreases. Although some lace patterns
have patterning on every row, it is quite common for lace patterns
to have rest rows that alternate with pattern rows.
Check your work often. If you discover a mistake, correct it right
away. (See pages 50–51 for how to fix and prevent mistakes.) After
you have knitted a few repeats of the pattern, finish with Row 6 of

tells what to do for each square; for example, a plain square

represents a knitted stitch and a circle represents a yarnover.
A right-slanting line represents k2tog and means that you knit
the stitch that corresponds to the k2tog square with the stitch to
the left of it. Note that in this lace pattern, the chart shows that
the number of stitches stays the same in each row—for every
yarnover, there is a corresponding decrease, and vice versa. On
Row 1, the right-slanting k2tog decrease is paired with the yarnover
that follows it, and the left-slanting ssk decrease is paired with
the yarnover that precedes it. On Row 5, the centered double
decrease (sl 2 as if to k2tog, k1, pass 2 sl sts over) decreases two
stitches, and the yarnovers made on each side of the decrease add
two stitches to compensate.
The chart is read from bottom to top, and right-side rows are read
from right to left, in the same direction as one normally knits. The
first stitch on the left-hand needle as you’re ready to begin a row
corresponds to the first square in the bottom right-hand corner of
the chart. Notice how wrong-side rows have no lace patterning; they
are rest rows.

YARNOVERS WORKED BETWEEN DIFFERENT

TYPES OF STITCHES
FIGURE 2
Whether knits or purls precede or follow a yarnover determines the
way it’s made. In Lace Pattern #1, the yarnovers always fall between
two knit stitches. The three other yarnovers are made as follows:

Yarnover between a knit and a purl (working yarn

begins in back)
Bring the yarn to the front of the work between the needles. Then
bring the strand of yarn over the right needle and between the
needles again to the front, ready to purl the next stitch (Figure 2).
Because the yarnover between a knit and a purl stitch uses more
yarn than for a yarnover between a knit stitch and a knit stitch, the
yarnover holes will be larger. If both types of yarnovers will be used
in a project, the size differences may be noticeable. The size of the
yarnover between a knit stitch and a purl stitch can be adjusted by
FIGURE 2a
wrapping the yarn differently to make the yarnover holes smaller,
as shown below:

Yarnover between a knit and a purl (alternative

wrapping method)
Bring the yarn to the front of the work over the right needle
(Figure 2a) and then purl the next stitch. On the next row, it will
be necessary to work into the back loop of the yarnover so it won’t
be twisted.

Bring the strand of yarn over the right-hand needle to the back
(Figure 3) and knit the next stitch. FIGURE 3

RAVELINGS

“ am not an arts and crafts kind of person.”

That’s what I kept telling Jill. She’s a knitter and she wanted
me to be one, too.
I put her off. I made excuses, but she wore me down. She
came over and taught me using a children’s rhyme: In through
the front door, once around the back, out through the window and off
jumps Jack!
My first row of stitches was awkward, loose, and slow. That is where
I usually quit and decide that knitting/piano lessons/natural childbirth
is not for me, but Jill was so excited that I didn’t want to ruin the fun.
You can guess what happened next. I got better. And here is the funny
part: I love knitting. I love it like creamy coffee, Saturday mornings, and
fluffy kittens all rolled up together.
For the last few years, I have knitted up a storm. At first, all I could
make were dishcloths. Then I tried scarves, which are just very long

KNIT,
dishcloths. I knitted a baby blanket for my ex’s pregnant girlfriend because
my life is complicated. I’ve started donating newborn baby hats to the
maternity ward.
I’m still not an arts and crafts person, but I am a knitter. The control
freak in me loves the rules, the rows, and the repetition. There is the

PURL
comfort of yarn slipping through my fingers and around the smoothness
of the needles. And the yarn! When I see stacked skeins of yarn, I get a
rush like a child with a brand-new box of crayons.
Speaking of yarn, did you know that the word “clue” used to be the
name for a ball of yarn? In Greek mythology, Ariadne gave Theseus a
BY ANGELINA VAQUERA-LINKE ball of yarn to find his way out of the Labyrinth after he killed the
Minotaur. Clue figuratively means, “that which points the way.”
I’ve discovered a community built around our common threads. Now
that I can spot a handknitted piece, I find that I stop strangers to ask
about their hat or sweater. Not one person I’ve approached found this
odd. I once had a conversation with a lady in the produce department,
among the strawberries and tomatoes, about knitting versus crocheting.
We had different opinions, but there were no hard feelings. Needle-
workers stick together like that.
I’ve knitted my way through good news, bad news, and the daily
detritus of life as a mother, wife, friend, woman. Sometimes I make a
mistake and have to ravel a few rows, but I’ve learned there are always
second chances in knitting. I don’t know where this habit of knotting
together strands is leading me, but I know it fills some need I have to
construct, create order, and commune. Sometimes, it feels like prayer—
my hands offering up the best and worst I have. I find no more peace
than this: a quiet moment in the gray hours of early morning, needles
clicking softly, as I whisper to myself, “knit . . . purl . . . knit . . .”
ANGELINA VAQUERA-LINKE is a nonprofit program manager living
in the mountains of northwest Georgia. She loves to knit hats and
blankets for babies.
