Typotricot 9: jacquard son crossed

The jacquard son Crusaders ( intarsia English), more appropriate for thicker letters, is often used for initials, logos, slogans ... Sometimes for whole alphabet books.

The original polo not missing, I will mention one, who has had some success in recent years: the Weasley sweater , inspired by Harry Potter books.

Another classic use of initials, layettes and other baby blankets. Also for children, traditional cubes covered letters of the alphabet can be knitted. Two examples among many:
- alphabet cubes Debbie Bliss (A?)
- dados de letras of Malglam,
- cube or coverage choices Diane Zangl (available free here ).
And a pretty sweater from Zoe Mellor, who draws on these cubes, luxury coat letter, book The Big Book of Kids' Knits . (A?)

Where things get complicated (since there will be more color, more difficult it will be knitting) is when the letter is accompanied by a picture to be a primer. Again, three examples among others:
- baby blanket from Wesleleypiffy,
- alphabet blanket in RYC Classic Mother and Baby (A)
- vests the alphabet No. 100 ideas 119 (September 1983) (warning, if you want to buy it from a bookseller, the grid for the alphabet is complete, but he missed 8 of 26 animals, need to be ordered separately). (A)

Still in the Registry childlike, very beautiful typeface designed by Little Cotton Rabbits . (A)

Significantly more adult scarf "Crime of Fashion" Marnie McLean, published originally in the late Magknits . (A9)
Published in the journal Craft, a scarf very similar concept, Police Tape , (grid here) .

Review Knit1 offers grids for words "cool" and "wool" (pdf).

I like the nod to the comics with bubble "Damn!" (Ravelry) on a sweater for dog Lady Wyvern, who ad ' other dog sweaters to text (Ravelry).

Finally some examples of use of jacquard son crossed into logos:
- kelp (how she knitted and touched the banner of his blog),
- Today (BBC program that provides a template and a grid knitting his listeners).

For political slogans, I'll let you do a search on Ravelry with the names of candidates in the last election Americans. You will find several examples, some quite elaborate, as sweater Laura Birek , adapted from a poster the creator is also the author of the propaganda campaign / marketing / street art (delete as appropriate) "Obey Giant" which inspired scarf Andre .
Less politics, more knitting, the motto "Cool boys knit" on the pull Hardcore .

And as it is not only alphabets in writing, a few characters: Lickety Split , knitting socks with the ideogram of the Chinese zodiac.

I'll finish on a self-referential wink: the jacquard bobbins that spell the word "bobbins."
