INVISIBLE INCREASING
Increasing the number of stitches on
the needle in knitting is essential
when creating certain pattern piece
shapes, and useful for things like
sizing, shaping, frills and trims.
The simplest increase is just to work
twice into the same stitch, once into
the front, then once into the back.
This leaves a bump or loop on the right
side. To increase invisibly, (sometimes
called fully fashioned increase or make
1) pick up the loop between the two
needles and work into the back of it. >

INVISIBLE INCREASING
Another invisible increase is created
by picking up the stitch below the next
stitch, putting it on the left hand
needle and working it.
These two invisible increases are
worked one or two stitches in from the
edge, if increasing at the edge, and
are almost impossible to spot, except
of course that there are more stitches.
A very visible increase is to work one
yarn over needle which gives an
additional decorative lace stitch and
hole. more follows >

MAKING YOUR OWN FABRIC
This week I have been taking a close
look at the possibilities of prgducing
your own fabric, both by weaving and
knitting methods.
I loved watching the weavers at work
but felt that the dressmaker would need
a lot of time, and imagination, to
start producing fabric at home.
Knitted fabric was much more achievable
and I became very excited about the
possibilities of using a knitting
machine to produce fabric, either as
simple rectangles or actually cutting
out pattern pieces from the fabric you
have knitted. more follows >

MAKING YOUR OWN FABRIC
With knitted rectangles you can use my
Fashion with a "T" basic pattern to
make front and back and two sleeves.
I particularly liked the idea of
knitting fabric for myself, because
the same machines also knit fancy
trimmings and bindings, which are so
difficult to buy in the shops.
I shall be starting to experiment with
this idea, with the help of a husband
and wife team who live near to me and
have three different knitting machines.
They got in touch with me because they
have been using my dressmaking patterns
on their machines with great success.
