What we liked: The mats have an excellent quality build and are large enough to accommodate large knit works and other projects. The 100-T-pins included are also a huge plus.

Set your iron to the lowest temperature that allows steam. Once it has heated, hover it slightly above the surface of the protective cloth and steam the entire garment in an “up and down” motion. You can also use a steamer for this process if you have one. In this section, we’ll teach you how to steam your fabric and then pin it, so the yarn is pliable first.Yet, even with all the above awesome properties, the foam is superbly lightweight, easy to store, and straightforward to handle. Grid system An easy way to start is to place your first pin at the top of the garment in the center. Stretch the work to your desired length, then place your second pin in the bottom center. Next, add two more pins on each side and pin to your chosen width. The factor of no grids might annoy some, and you might have to buy a second set to do larger knitted things Very sturdy, so place them against a wall without them falling over while your creations are drying! If you want to work on large pieces of fabric, you want boards that can snap together and create a big working area. You will find these boards quite useful because they snap together with ease.

Once the yarn feels moist and relaxed, remove the protective cloth and position the garment according to your knitting pattern. Follow the pinning instructions above to fix it in your desired size and shape. 4. Leave to Dry Haven`t done a knitting-and-walking photo for a while, so here`s a shot from walking the twinnage to school this morning.What’s more, the grids are marked with numbers from 1 to 9. That way, you don’t struggle to know where you started or which parts of the yarn you want to focus on. Whilst I recover from surgery, I`m knitting another Äkäslompolo cardigan (that I designed for @novitaknits yarns) because I want one to keep! Just started the armhole steeks. The thing about having a rubbish memory is that every instruction comes as a surprise, even though I wrote it. Yet, even after lots of use, or rather pin-piercing, the self-healing nature of this mat ensures the pinholes “heal,” keeping the mat looking as new as when you bought it. Of course, you might encounter some holes, but they won’t be big enough to affect the mat’s overall layout. For those using a table surface you’ll also have nothing to worry about, as the mat will prevent the needles from scratching the surface.
