Hm… After work today I was revisiting Annie Modesitt’s information on combined knitting<\/a>. When I looked at it last year, I’d come to the conclusion that her method matched what I did, but I obviously didn’t pay enough attention! Taking only the knit stitch<\/a>, since that’s what I wrote about and photographed already, the “cloth needle” holding the previous row has S-stitches on it. So far so good, but the other needle has Z-stitches! She scoops\/wraps from the opposite direction, so the orientation of the stitch switches as the stitches go from one needle to the other. Fascinating!<\/p>\n

So that means that if you are working in the round, not all knit stitches can be worked the same way, right? Must do more research… make samples… take pictures!<\/p>\n

Apparently, I don’t do combination knitting after all, but S-knitting. Both Western and Continental are Z-knitting, and combination knitting has aspects of both S and Z. Eastern knitting? In Eastern knitting, which hand holds the yarn? Does it matter (as in Western vs Continental)?<\/p>\n

An unpredicted side-effect of having this blog: I’ve been inspired to figure out what things are as they bloom (after 3 years of looking at them and thinking about figuring out what they are). This one: Centaurea montana<\/a><\/em>, called mountain bluet or perennial cornflower.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
