unikatissimas Lochstrickmuster-Adventskalender 2018
The shawl I put this year for you in the Advent calendar is different from the previous ones (which you can find here in the blog or at ravelry): it shows 7 lace patterns looking similar to their counterpart, i.e. the first pattern matches wonderfully the last pattern, the second pattern the last but one, the third the fifth and you can repeat the middle pattern as often as you like to make your very personal Advent calendar shawl as long as you like :)
You can also define the width of your shawl by knitting the repeat of 20 stitches as often as you like.
Again I wish you a relaxed and relaxing Advent knit! :)

The photo gives you an idea about your shawl (hopefully) without spoiling the surprise.
(And if you should be curious: there are more pictures ;-))

Note: at ravelry you can find the group unikatissima where you can discuss this pattern and my other patterns, too and where you can show us your wip (work in progress).
You can register at ravelry with your username and a valid email address only, with all other information about you it’s up to you whether you give them (at least it was like this when I registered ;-)).

About the pattern:

This year the shawl has
* 7 different consecutive lace patterns which mirror each other harmoniously,
* a 20 stitches repeat which allows you to knit the shawl as wide as you like and
* on day 13 a pattern that you can knit as often as you like to adapt the length of the shawl to your liking.
The pattern
* is a multiple of 20 pattern stitches + 3 start/end stitches + 2 or more edge stitches, and
* has a total of 386 rows with the day 13 pattern knitted once.
* The day 13 pattern has 28 rows and can be knitted several times if necessary.
* The daily instructions contain each as well charts as written instructions.
To knit the shawl you need
* yarn with needles in appropriate size
(the shawl looks as beautiful knitted in lace yarn as in fingering or bulkier yarn),
* know-how about knitting yarn overs and different decreases and
* if you like stitch markers to mark the repeats.
If you want to make the shawl
* broader/narrower simply adjust the number of repeats;
* shorter,
    – use smaller needle sizes and/or
    – finer yarn and/or
    – knit less loose;
* longer
    – knit the day 13 pattern more than once and/or
    – use larger needles and/or
    – bulkier yarn and/or
    – knit more loose.

About the finished item:

This year I knitted only one shawl.

For my shawl I made/used
* 3 repeats
* with 6 rows in seed stitch at the beginning and end, and
* with 3 stitches in seed stitch at each side, and
* without extra repeats of the day 13 pattern
* with about 142 g or 498 yards/455 m cheeky merino joy from Rosy Green Wool in red (col 058, 100 g have about 350 yards/320 m)
* with US 7/4.5 mm needles to
* a total of 29.110 stitches ;-) and
* got a shawl of about 12″ x 65″ (this are about 30 x 165 cm).
I knitted the daily pattern parts in about 30 min.

Please bear in mind: the size always depends on your gauge and also on the way you knit – I’m always knitting rather loosely.

This year you find here on the 24 days of Advent the instructions for a shawl that is symmetrically patterned lengthwise.
The patterns comprises amongst others net lace, leaf lace and diamond lace parts which I combined to a harmonious pattern.
The repeat of 24 stitches allows you to decide on the width of your shawl by simply knitting more or less repeats.
You can also adapt the length because there will be a lengthening pattern in the middle for you to lengthen the shawl should you like to.
On day 12 you will learn more about this.
And as always: shouldn’t you need a shawl make simply a table runner from :)

Repairing Knitted Lace Errors

I’m very interested in lace knitting, so I can always do with tipps, e.g. for repairing knitted lace errors.

I also found a similar entry (Fixing lace part one and Fixing lace part two).

Sock Heel Knitting

Links of entry

There seem to be countless ways to knit sock heels. I find one of the most interesting the subsequently knitted heel, where you simply knit at the right place with a scrap thread which will be taken away later and then you can ‘fill’ the opening.

If you don’t even like this heel, simply knit a sock without heel ;-)
