Shanghai Express – Cardigan
I announce you the release of my last cardigan “Shanghai Express”! It was inspired by the dandy style which makes it a unique design. It is feminine and very easy to wear.
Alternate cable cast-on for 2×2 ribbing
You may already know the cable cast-on method. It is a method that I use all the time, which consists of knitting the stitches. I do not like to cast on the stitches with my fingers as long-tail cast on because you always have to plan some lengths, it’s difficult to give a precise measure especially when you have a lot of stitches to cast on.
Provisional Cast On
The Provisional Cast On allows to knit in both directions without pick up stitches. There are several methods for privisional cast on. Here, you will see how to do a it with a hook.
Video Tutorial: Bind off the ribbing
Like you, I often finish my sweaters with ribs for the sleeves or the buttonhole band or something else. You can see that it’s always a bit of a challenge to bind off the ribs, because when you bind off with the classic technique, that is to say bind off stitches one by one as it is, it’s simple but the rendering is not pretty and lacks flexibility.

Un snood magique
Je viens de finir un snood magique pour mon chéri pour les derniers froids du nord. Pourquoi encore un snood ? Parce que mon chéri a toujours la tête ailleurs et il a déjà perdu le snood Highland que je lui ai offert !!! Je suis un peu frustré car j’ai donné beaucoup de temps à ce snood, je ne l’ai pas seulement tricoté mais je l’ai teint aussi ! Du coup, j’ai décidé d’en faire un autre pour OUBLIER… 🙂
