Our September box will feature tuck stitches with a new design from Faye Kennington of UkeeKnits. If you do a quick web search you’ll find that there are a variety of knitting techniques referred to as “tuck stitch.” The technique we’re focusing on for this box is a cluster stitch that is created when a stitch from a row below, with an associated yarn over, is incorporated into the current row. If you’ve ever worked a brioche knit stitch, you might recognize this concept, as brioche is a tuck-based fabric. By varying the number of rows below that are included in the stitch cluster, changing colours between rows, and alternating or stacking cluster stitches, the possibilities extend beyond brioche! Tuck stitches create a textured surface, ranging from pleasing clusters to an all-over quilted or welted effect.

The September box will be all about Tuck Stitches with Faye Kennington of UkeeKnits. Tuck stitches create a textured surface, ranging from pleasing clusters to an all-over quilted or welted effect and Faye will be leading us through learning a variety of tuck Stitches as a guided exploration.

Our last box for this year (though certainly not least exciting!) will be Intarsia with Sasha Hyre of Verona Knits. Sasha will be bringing her bold colour and design sense to showcase this practical technique for creating large blocks of colour, no stranding needed!

We hope you’re as excited about diving into these techniques as we are! If you’re not a club member yet and want to join in, don’t forget to use the code NEWSKILLS at checkout to get 10% off your first box.
