The other day I stumbled upon
Oversize Me, a lovely French blog with beautiful photography, style, and snapshots of fun weekends. I was so excited to discover that the author, Jay, is also a fellow knitter. I spotted this post on the
herringbone stitch, a stitch I've yet to try but always envied, along with an amazing video tutorial. I had to stretch my three semesters of beginners French to pick up the instructions, but I was so captivated by the stunning images that it basically spoke for itself. Even if you don't speak French, I think this video explains the stitch wonderfully. As you know, I am such a fan of
baking videos that the idea of stunning, fiber-filled videos gets me really excited. I might have to try my hand at a knitting video one day too! :-)
What do you think? I've watched it so many times at this point...
It's just so lovely. :)
its lovely.
ReplyDeletei like that blog !

that was the artsiest knitting video i have ever seen! i just learned the herringbone stitch last week or so, man i can get pretty tight if using small needles. and also, do you knit continental or english style?
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this!
ReplyDeleteI just learned about the herringbone stitch the other day and was having trouble following written instructions.
Now I'm inspired to try again!

ReplyDeleteHi! I just found your blog through Mollie Makes and I think its all together lovely. I too enjoy baking and knitting although I find myself crocheting more often. Your blog has inspired me to pick up my knitting needles more often!! Well I hope you are having a swell day. Thanks for posting such inspiring stuff.

This video is great! I started a herringbone scarf last year (twice!) and had to frog (twice) because I couldn't join it correctly. I'll be trying my hand at it again after seeing this :)

Makes me want to start a herringbone something-or-other asap!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cool stitch! I don't play around with fancy stitches nearly as much as I should. I'm always excited to see new ones. :)
ReplyDeleteOhmygosh, it's gorgeous!! :) So inspiring, both yarn-wise and video-editing wise! :) I love the little handwritten fonts...he he.
ReplyDeleteOh my, how lovely! I love videos like that, too. It really saddens me that the herringbone stitch, while it looks so dazzling, takes so much longer to knit than other stitches. Where-as stitches like the color slip stitch take half the time to knit, this one takes twice the time... :( Maybe I'll get inspired enough someday to actually make something with it.
ReplyDeleteMost definetly give the herringbone stitch a try!! I LOVE IT! It's a bit tricky to get, but once you do...you'll be in LOVE too! I'm currently dreaming of covering a chair I have with the herringbone stitch.
ReplyDeleteHave always wanted to give this a go...maybe soon. This video was quite inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to try this stitch and just found this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MRGAavTZ0Q&feature=related
ReplyDeleteIt was a it easier for me to understand... though admittedly it is not as pretty, but it's a little sassy haha, so I like it.
Can't wait to try!
