Using Expired Vigamox

Typotricot 10: Reversible Jacquard

jacquard reversible (double knitting in English, even if the term means in this language several concepts quite different from each other *), we may as well knit letters fine letters thick as a priori and thus use both screens for the Jacquard son learned to those for the jacquard son crossed.

When the pattern contains letters, the usual technique jacquard reversible causes a slight defect: the letters on the back will be reversed (mirrored). There are ways to remedy this by using two different grids, one for the mesh that will end up on the spot and another for those who find themselves on the back, but it greatly complicates the task.

There are relatively few models for content written specifically for letterpress technique, but I can at least cite a beautiful scarf designed by Bridget Zeuner: the letter scarf (which is back on Etsy). I still leaves a link to his blog and another to plug Ravelry in case. This scarf is knitted in the usual way, so that the letters are reversed on the back.

I did not find much else, apart from this felted bag "HSKS5" and of course the ubiquitous syllable "om" . So even if in fact it is a traditional Norwegian reason I mention this scarf with flowers Vigdis (Ravelry) that remind me of the cul-de-lamp and other typographical ornaments.

Regarding the technique to two different faces, let alone recent occurrences. There are Alwen has knitted her name on the front and his real name on the back, but it only shows the front, unfortunately.

By cons, in the traditional knitwear, it was less rare. Montse Stanley has collected several examples dating from the English eighteenth and nineteenth centuries: the upper belt of this portfolio has a name and date on the front and a floral motif on the back, middle, ramp shows "la primera of Labor mi mano es para mi hermano "on the front door and a geometric design on the back, bottom, one sees only one side of the Garter with "viva mi Dueño" (image from the book Knitter's Handbook ).

* The day I have the courage, I promise to post my links on the issue and an explanation of different techniques.
