I introduced the Short Row Slide idea in this post<\/a>, it’s a way of making a column of ribbing look as if it were sliding horizontally.\u00a0 The individual slides are all explained with written instructions and charts in the (soon to be released) patterns, but I wanted to explain how and why I dealt with each field. I wrote about dealing with Garter Stitch in this post.<\/a>\u00a0 And dealing with Ribbed stitch in this post.<\/a>\u00a0 And Working with Stockinette here.<\/a>\u00a0 And Reverse Stockinette here.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Short<\/p>\n

All of these swatches have the same number of stitches and rows, so you can see how the different fields vary their dimensions.\u00a0 I’m rather proud that I figured out how to make the stockinette and reverse stockinette out of the same swatch!<\/p>\n

I wanted the shawls and blankets to be made in one piece.\u00a0 A lady from church knit a knit\/purl blanket for Benjamin like that when he was a baby, and it was the best for swaddling. At the edges of the fabric I used ribbing where a knit field would be, and garter where the reverse stockinette would be.\u00a0 The varying widths and heights made the fabric buckle like corrugated cardboard – but blocking (really severe blocking) set all to rights.<\/p>\n

I’ve explained everything that I can think off, now I need to start learn to make a video. What other issues should I address in Short Row Slides?<\/p>\n

My Patterns Andalus and Habibi use these techniques.<\/p>\n
