Frequent Urination Ovulation

Typotricot 14: hook

I'm not going to hook that I made for knitting. I'll just make a list of possible approaches to crochet letters.

Crochet
independent letters can be found in the book Japanese Remaining Threads or book 201 Crochet Motifs . (A)

Freeform
I do not know if the above is considered the freeform or not, so I added some beautiful examples of typography freeform signed Lis Paludan in his book Fri virkning :

Hook net
With this grid of 1912 example. There are a lot of grills available commercially, I believe, and then cross stitch grids are also probably the case. (A9)

Jacquard Crochet ( tapestry crochet English)
With this grid Hook Kim example. Grids jacquard knit are probably also the case. (AA9)

Tunisian Crochet
I have only one example, but we take those with eyes full of typos very very seventies.

knobs to hook
Finally, we can also make letters with knobs bracketed species: like on this baby blanket . Please do not let the baby sleep on it: the remake of Princess and the Pea Guaranteed! (A)

Typotricot 13: knit embroidered

THE JACQUARD embroidered
The largest embroidery "consubstantial" is of course knitting jacquard or embroidered mesh point, as it is with a needle and thread to reconstruct the path a mesh while covering it. We can use it to add small details or to bypass a technical difficulty (not knit two color jacquard and embroidered by adding the third, for example). It can also embroidered the whole pattern. In short, many grids can become jacquard knitted grids embroidered jacquard, depending on the level or the choice of the knitter. The reverse is true, too.

Two small examples among many others, the mops Back to School and coverage alphabet Chameleon Knits.

THE DOT EMBROIDERY COUNTED
When it comes to really embroidered knit, a traditional method (I think it is used in knitwear Bavarian Am I wrong?), Is to use the cross stitch. Sts knitting up the grid on which embroiders. Two fine examples
layette sweater with a twisted cartridge where the initial stitch the alphabet sweater from the book Special Knits by Debbie Bliss sweater and embroidered cross-stitch the entire alphabet from the brochure Baby Dearest of Patons. The

camisoles Poveira (Portuguese fishermen sweaters) rarely wear the text (even if it happens ), but traditionally they are embroidered with symbols conveying meaning. To learn more, read another article Portuguese or explanations Luisa forum Nordic Knitting.

THE EMBROIDERY AT POINTS LAUNCHED
can also be embroidered with the knit stitch, as in the sweater above cons inspired the poem "Vowels" Rimbaud ( 100 ideas No. 149, March 1986).
It amuses me to see that many of the fabrics that I found to illustrate this topic wear embroideries inspired by tattoos:
Knucker (mittens embroidered in chain stitch, stem, "Beijing", etc..) ,
Horatio (pull child),
Winged tattoo heat.
Another heart but inspired by a candy store, him Valentine candy pillow.

HOOK
Even if it looks like chain stitch needle, the maxims which cover the beautiful jacket Margaret (page 2 of the pdf, see also the prototype with a cursive calligraphy ) by Mary Neal Meador published in the book Mason Dixon Knitting : Outside the Lines are made with the hook.

APPLICATIONS
Finally, we can "embroidered" letters by sewing knitting applications, like on this cover Gretagrip where some letters are backing knitted or sewn strips of knitting on the back cover.

Limit off-topic, but I do not know where the squeeze, otherwise the pillow tribute to Shei Shonagon of Larissa Brown .

How Much Does A Mulberry Bayswater Bag Cost

Typotricot 12: knit with beads

Nowadays, we use little beads in knitting. We just added a few to highlight a pattern. But in the nineteenth century, knitting with beads enjoyed a real success.

It was used for making reticles entirely covered with pearls, as it marked Monogram A. W . The beads were strung on a thread in reverse order of knitting and were then trapped in the left of each strand of twisted stitches. You could also

use the beads on the ground showed that even on a smooth background of stockinette stitch, like this on aumonière marked names and PAULA FRANCISCO Robira Robira. Or on the alms-cons where they draw the names of pearls battles of the "Peninsular War" (so named on the English side, since the object was owned by a Briton) or War of Independence (image from the book Richard Rutt).

upd: I'll add beaded cuffs monogrammed and dated (seen in Berthi ) and low Bavarian monogrammed pearl (as uncomfortable weird, huh?).

Sports Intimidating Quotes

Typotricot 11: jacquard machine

As I said before, it's a little artificial to the Jacquard machine in a separate category. I did not know anything knit machine, but broadly it seems to me that the Jacquard machine is restarted with a few adjustments the three techniques: jacquard son learned, jacquard son crossed and double-sided jacquard reversible.

This is done only on industrial machines, it seems. The most common example typographical reversible jacquard machine, it's the scarf football fans. I found some pictures scarves sports or advertising on the site Masche Wilde, manufacturer of scarves and blankets on double-sided position (just send them a picture of your choice). On

knitting machines for domestic use, I do not think we can only knit jacquard son to son crossed or jacquard son learned (but I know nothing). It can therefore knitting patterns in the style of those I have listed under question.

can also produce fabrics message as Lisa Anne Auerbach (see also its former site Steal That Sweater and his blog The Little Red Blog of Revolutionary Knitting ). In its knitting, there is almost always the text, which often calligraphy and typography are mixed elsewhere. Almost all fabrics are made by machine, even if it gives a free pattern hand knit mittens, the mittens Body Count (pdf). She has just published a book with several models of sweaters, Sweaters That Talk Back .
Note on its website the banner Agency, nice mix of typos, which was conducted by several "craftivists" the best known. Between them, there Cat Mazza, a member of the movement microRevolt whose generator grids online KnitPro was originally designed to divert the logos of major brands and expose their practices. One can of course be used to tweak fonts characters knitting purposes activist ... or not.

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.

Dune Buggy Plans For Free Sandrails Australia

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."

Project Report To Start A Business

Typotricot 8: jacquard son learned

The jacquard son learned ( stranded knitting English) is probably the technique most rich in examples. It is also one that provides the earliest occurrences.

Indeed, the first occurrences of writing knitted turn out to be the first remains of knitting itself: fragments (picture from the book cons fabrics Egypt), tubes and socks found in Egypt including the oldest may date back to the ninth century. The texts in Arabic (the name of Allah, blessings and cons as above the word "victory") are kufic better suited for rendering knit cursive styles that post. Its use does not, by itself, to date them for sure. Besides, there are also pseudo-abstract designs inspired by the calligraphic Kufic calligraphy.

If you want to reproduce some of the calligraphy, I refer you to Mamluke socks socks reconstructed by Nancy Bush in his book Folk Socks , or as more archaeologically correct in fact Anahita on its site, with its Allah socks. Also at Anahita, the socks with the inscription "barakah" and tube with the name of Allah . The above-knit cons inspired him, Chris Laning who made a bag (Ravelry link).

is also Arabic found on knitting the oldest found in Europe: the blessing "Barakat" on the cushion of the Infante Fernando de la Cerda. I refer you to ticket that I have dedicated three years ago already.
If you want to reproduce this cushion, Richard Rutt in providing grids in A History of Hand Knitting . See also simplified version of Susanna von Schweissguth. We find the grid "Barakat" provided by Rutt in a lot of knits, including the blessing socks Miriam Felton.

The first knitted Latin characters are religious: the monogram IHS on gloves Bishop (cons image above from the book by Richard Rutt), blessings, a New Testament verse (on the masterpiece journeyman hosier Silesia above), or profane wishes, dates and names.

Indeed, in traditional knitting, it is quite usual to mark either the name of the person who knitted the work or the person to whom it is intended (see this pincushion of the V & A Museum ). You can add the wishes of long life for the person wearing the item (See below garters English from the book of Mil anys disseny in punt ).

There are lots of traditional jacquards that we can mark a name and a date. I only mention the Sanquhar-style gloves because the model found on the site tatao.net provides a complete alphabet (A).

Often in traditional knitting, knit the text is discreet and is located at the bottom of a sweater or a glove. We can do even more discreet hiding in the hem as squarely on the sweater Elizabeth Zimmermann's EPS (here version Teklall ).

However, it can be very nice to display letters on the chest, they make sense or not, from elsewhere:
- a Latin motto on this sweater from The Panopticon,
- the alphabet and the name under the collar a round yoke sweater ,
- or around a sleeveless vest (the two Tracy3xl)
- even inspired an alphabet blocks on a childish Iowaknitguy sweater (Ravelry link ).

can also cover his socks on letters like these lovely socks child socks for tots crunch .

It is much rarer to find texts long enough on knitwear. The poetry mittens constitute an example rather mysterious, because we do not know much about these mittens covered with a poem whose multiple copies from the late eighteenth and early nineteenth were discovered in New England. Piecework magazine has devoted an article with grids in two issues: November-December 1995 and more recently January-February 2008. It is interesting to see customized versions (Ravelry link) that knitters have done with poems of their choice.

Even stranger, the letter, uh knitted in 1868 by an insane the President of the United States. She has inspired a contemporary textile artist John Krynicki ( see a video here), which has a range of texts knitted jacquard garter.

More recently, I have already spoken (and rightly so, since I knitted) socks Pearls of wisdom , also known as the "Pablo Neruda socks", created by Jean Newsted and published in the book Socks Socks Socks . There is a grid with the entire alphabet to personalize the socks by adding his name. (A)

Another Hispanic poet Antonio Machado, whose poem Caminante no hay camino inspired a scarf Knititch: to see on his blog (she shows here, she speaks there) or on Ravelry .

More sinister, the invocation of the three witches in Macbeth reproduced on long gloves by Nanette Blanchard Bewitching gloves.

More international and peaceful, even if it is not a long text, but the word "peace" in several languages:
- the Peace blanket of Knitting-and,
- the Peace jacket Bonnie Franz published in the webzine For the Love of Yarn .

This gives me a good transition to the next section where I review the scripts that you can find knitting.

The choice widens enormously when one considers a detail: the mesh jacquard son learned tend to be square instead of rectangular height as plain jersey (well, in theory! In practice, c is far from always true and it depends on the voltage of each). This allows you to use grids for cross stitch, where the alphabets and other samplers do not miss. Sometimes you have to adapt a little, because the form of a point and an embroidered knitted mesh can cause different deformations of the initial letter.

But there are also grids that were designed for knitting from the start. For Latin characters, there is a certain variety of fonts. While the jacquard son learned is indicated for letters rather thin, but there are all kinds, with or without serifs, very simple or convoluted. Some grids

very simple to start:
cap Kaleigh Kap (pdf) (A)
grid Knitting-and (A)
grid All Fiber Arts (A)
first grid Knit1 (A)
second grid Knit1 (a9)
Knit1 third grid (a)

If you love the most decorated letters, we can learn from Purl Union. I'd love her to provide grids for all the letters of her knitted version of the police Mantinia , superb! But for now, the only symbol that can knit, the ampersand is present in its very pretty cap Ampersand Hat (pdf).
However, she generously shares with us the alphabet she created for her Peruvian hat Chullo P (P Chullo click in the left margin of the blog to download pdf 3 parts). Knitting jacquard or jacquard son learned to cross-son. (A)

Just as the Kufic Arabic captures the Gothic letters make it very well in terms of Latin characters. We see the masterpiece companion hosier Silesian reproduced above. Too bad there are few recent examples, although I do not forget the leggings style "medieval punk" from parody.org: sandwich legwarmers. I do not know what scale it used, but I found one that might do the case: Needlepointers' Old Français alphabet. (Aa)

The generator Celtic alphabet, originally planned for the cross stitch is popular among knitters. (AA9)

And originally planned for crochet, cursive letters. (Aa)

Let now the Latin characters to look into other alphabets. For Arabic, we have seen that the Kufic style is one that lends itself best to knit (see previous examples). See also the pretty composition of Kufic Susannhill and the word "bird" in calligraphy cursive Dbennett.

For Hebrew alphabet, I found several here. (Click on "basic", "stick" or "sm block").

For Greek alphabet, I found it .

And I'll end on one of my favorite discoveries in my research of knitted typography: a nineteenth cap found in Isfahan, which bears an inscription in Armenian (image from the book by Richard Rutt).

Milau Artiste By Scott Kay

Typotricot 8-11: jacquard

Good finish beating around the bush! Let us deal with the main way to approach writing in the fabric: jacquard. To not crumble under the avalanche of examples, I sub-divide as follows: jacquard son learned, jacquard son crossed reversible jacquard, jacquard machine. Jacquard embroidered will be briefly mentioned in the chapter on knitting embroidery. This is somewhat artificial distingos because in many cases, when you knit with many colors, mixing techniques to son and from son to the cross, or this one or that one embroidered with jacquard . And then the jacquard machine, whether single-sided or double-sided is a variation on previous jacquards. But this fragmentation will read the following notes to digest.


These two sweaters a "newspaper" from the number 84 of 100 ideas (October 1980) are a good example (mostly white).

Typotricot 7: mosaic knitting

knitting technique that uses multiple colors slipped stitches, the knitting mosaic is not shown on the front of typography.

Jay Petersen, yet it has nevertheless drawn a beautiful alphabet (a) to reproduce using this technique (and then another (a) that could be used as well). Alas, I know there is still no copy knitted. If we see the beginning of a scarf here: the entire text will pangramme English "Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow!", Much more compact than the usual "the lazy fox blah."

upd: Jay Petersen informs me that he also created a new alphabet mayuscules, available as a downloadable font FontStruct on the site, which lets you print a grid from knitting ' a simple word processor. (A)

upd: A alefbet Hebrew is being prepared by Tikkunknitter to follow.

Typotricot 6: optical illusion

The optical illusion knitting (knitting shadow or illusion knitting ) combines the use of color and relief.

If you want to write a half-hidden message mid-visible, know that Meowy drew an entire alphabet available in pdf format, but I've never seen what he gives once knitted. (A9)

Examples of text knitted with the process of the optical illusion is no shortage, however (and I would not include in my list scarves bearing the logos of universities U.S. investors). All grilles and explanations below are free, except for "om": Toni

Typotricot 5: days

Alternatively typotricotique: write "hollow", that is to say, form letters by disposing of days in the knitting. Technically, this poses certain problems and that's probably why the typography girders are rare, but to my knowledge there are at least two complete alphabets:

- The Debbie Bliss, originally planned for a baby blanket, " The Alphabet blanket, "published in" The Baby Knits Book ". You can see a photo here . (A)

upd: Please note that this alphabet was adapted to the Greek alphabet by Rachael_Knits (TLR on Ravelry) and the Hebrew alefbet by Tikkunknitter . The great job they may share if you ask them nicely.
Tikkunknitter also prepares an Arabic alphabet. Meanwhile the only open knit with a text ("Barakat") in Arabic that I found is the pattern on the sleeve of the coat knitted Wry Punster .

- The Bridget Rorem, created for a bridal veil and stunning number published in the May-June 1998 of piecework magazine (still available, enjoy it while Interweave has increased the price of back issues). (A)


I might publish a photo, because you can not find on the internet. And nobody else has apparently started in the task Herculean to another re-knitting.
However, in 2006, Susoolu used this alphabet to write a motto on a shawl ( another photo) and 2007 Franklin Habit has made even a christening shawl for his niece.
upd: If, in fact, someone has knitted a veil, but in a smaller version for a baby blanket: the spider queen shawl (Ravelry).

More recently I discovered this fine example of cursive calligraphy in openwork Jay Petersen (yarnover on Ravelry): Love . (I recommend his blog Fuzzy Logic to all persons interested in mathematical approaches knitting.)

This tissue was not perforated knitted by hand, but the machine type Raschel knitting. It's still an interesting example of text written with days (picture from the book of Mil anys disseny in punt ).

Typotricot 4: torsades

While there, I confess to have found nothing, or almost. Yet, theoretically, when we see the intertwining complex and multidirectional drawn in by Alice Starmore twists in his book "Celtic Collection, Elsebeth Lavold Viking Knits in its , The Girl from Auntie in its Celtic-inspired knitwear or Eunny Jang in his tangled yoke cardigan , among others, we say that this should be a way to design an entire alphabet, preferably in cursive.

I did not laminated, but the book by Melissa Leapman recently published "Continuous Cables: An Exploration of Knitted Cabled Knots, Rings, Swirls, and curlicue" , which follows "Cables Untangled: An Exploration of Cable Knitting ", may contain useful tips for those who wish to undertake this task, since it is devoted to that tournicotent twists in all directions without interruption.

Meanwhile, to my knowledge, the only "alphabet" available in hanks, what are the runes Elsebeth Lavold recreated by in his book "Viking Patterns for Knitting" .

upd: The last Knotions allows me to add another example to my chapters typographical twists: the om eye pillow, is the syllable "om", written in one of alphasyllabaires used in India (I'm savvy enough to recognize which one it is), all in hanks. It really makes you want to explore the concept.

PS: I can not believe that nobody will be fun to write Braille with knobs (which I rank with the twists that are often associated).

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) . pullbavoir Tura


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)

Typotricot 2: Letters independent

There are many ways to approach the alphabet knitted. One way is to make each letter an independent unit, or two-dimensional or three-dimensional. This approach is relatively rare and often limited to items for children or a desire to make something visible, even spectacular (for a logo, banner, a contemporary art installation ...).

Typotricot 1: calligraphy filiaire

Slightly off-topic, because it's not about typography, calligraphy here. And it's not strictly knitting, even if it remains in the wool and son theme. Moreover, the knitters are not the only ones using this string (ha ha, pun of good quality), since we also found on blogs embroidery, sewing, etc.. It is written with thread. A few examples among many:

I myself have used a similar trick for the logo of my site Ibérica de punto, but this thread is not calligraphic but mapping:



calligraphy filiaire This process reminds me of the 1970s when they were often seen in books and magazine titles in cursive calligraphy using a rope or string, but this was not drawing pictures. I have not managed to find specimens, but it was quite common. If you have a good example of the process under the elbow, please not to send it to me. I will be happy to add it to my doc '.

Typotricot

Typography is a subject that fascinates me always and it was inevitable that one day I turn on the confluence of the meshes and characters. I stacked and categorized a list of examples in my head. Both post here to benefit others, although I guess it does fascinate a minority.

So before we begin, I share with you all Knitting Letters: A to Z , one of my favorite blogs right now, you can admire the beautiful knits while the typography leaves you cold (Pun unintended but occasional), especially since they are highlighted each time by an extensive bibliography and thorough documentation. A real gem, this Union Purl. The project resumed in the blog is to knit an alphabet, each letter being the initial technique used to reproduce or police or illustrated style knits mentioned.

If you're in the minority on that passion, I also pointed Wooly Type the Ravelry group she founded to fondues foundries. I put maybe my links there too.

So far, my forays personal in the field are quite limited. While I knitted a pair of socks on which included a poem by Pablo Neruda, but I followed a model where the book Socks Socks Socks.

The only time I created my own "knitting typo" is the last year, when I knitted for the daughter of Jennifer and Miquel (from yarn store Knit All You Love Is Barcelona) a version of the pullover bib when I replaced the lines of the first by his first name (Tura) at a rate of one letter per pan. I never posted this photo of knitting, then this is the opportunity to repair this oblivion.
