Blocking knitted projects is an essential step in mindful knitting. Once a project is off the knitting needles, blocking works like waving a magic wand.
In our previous blog, we discussed the power of inspirational words in our Mindful Collection. In this blog, we will take a look at the words imprinted on our needles - 2, 2.25, 2.5 and 2.75 mm knitting needles.
Words are powerful. They carry intent. They have energy and the ability to help, to heal and humble. Positive words impact us deeply, they motivate us and help us to live mindfully.
The whip stitch also called overcast stitch, is a useful stitch to have in your knitting repertoire. This stitch does not need to be knitted by knitting needles but with a darning needle. This stitch is not only used to seam two knitted pieces together but it can also be used to add a decorative edge to a knitted piece.
Lace knitting is an ancient and intricate art. With the right knitting needles and yarn, lace patterns become easy. The basic rule of lace knitting is to create strategically placed holes in the garment you are knitting. From the simplest pattern to the most complex ones, lace knitting looks ethereal.
Neat edges add a beautiful look to your knitting. You feel proud of your labour and the neat project gives you a soothing effect. When we knit scarves, blankets, dishcloths and other projects that have exposed sides, the appearance of those sides can make or break the overall look of the project.
