Typotricot 3: textures and reliefs

I continue to review knitting techniques that can be used to represent letters and other typographical symbols. I leave voluntarily for the good mouth the various types of jacquard. Chapters 3, 4 and 5 will therefore be devoted to letters knit without using color.

The simplest method is to use the difference in texture between the mesh location and purl. In general, use letters to point to Jersey on a background of stockinette stitch (or otherwise), or the jersey on a background of moss stitch (or vice versa), or finally the jersey on the garter (or vice versa).

The structure of the knitted fabric is that the jersey appears to place horizontally on the jersey, but the latter has the upper hand on this first vertically. This feature explains the vertical lines and horizontal component of certain letters are underlined some hemming, while the diagonals and curves go much better (This is probably why it is best to choose a substantive point of rice or garter, but that some details may be difficult to separate from the background.).

My pull-bib is a good illustration: it is clear that the letters are the most successful A & R, while T is quite a failure, it is surrounded on all sides for some hemming (best seen in the shadow of hemming the animated gif) .


EXAMPLES
This method of terrain texture is used to write initials on ganseys English, Danish nattrøjer , knitting damask "in Dutch" and other traditional fabrics using effects textured mesh caused by alternating right / purl. In general, in these cases, it is fairly thin letters, the features of a cell of thickness. In
of piecework January-February 2008, was an example of alphabet to decorate this type of initials and dates the reproduction of traditional Danish gloves. (A)

upd: I just (re) discover a copy impressive damask knitting letterpress in the excellent section on knitting on the site of the Victoria and Albert Museum: a panel covered with a prayer (27 lines of text that you see a detail here ) knitted by a blind man in 1851.
Another early example: the signature on a bedspread Victorian Hannah Smith 1837.

More recently, the method is often used on blankets layettes containing either the entire alphabet, or the initials of the baby. In the latter case, the letters are fairly thick. A good example is the custom cover [Ravelry link] in the book by Erika Knight "Little Baby knitwear (at Solar), translation of" Simple Knits for Cherished Babies ". But
also knitted more ironic as the mop "I do not do dishes" .

Finally, in bulk, some scripts available on the internet (all paid for, and sometimes very expensive when the letters are sold separately):
Army of Knitters (A)
Spyra Designs (A)
Knit A Little Store (better pictures here - Ravelry link) (A)
Pattern Alphabet Beanie With matching scarf (A)
Alphabet pigs (A)

upd: I found one free (same missing 2 digits and a few photos):
