In fact, it was not until her mid-twenties that she really got into working with yarn, Now she is the owner of Mercedes Knits, an online business that encases her knitwear designs and, until recently, was the sister to Kitchen Sink Dyeworks, her now disbanded yarn company. With an almost untenable work schedule of designing, dyeing, and teaching, she fecently decided to pursue more design work—and to do that work with other dyers’ yarns. Asa fiber art and textile major at Savannah College of Art and, Design, Mercedes learned how to shape and design garments from textiles, and there became familiar with spinning and ‘dyeing fbets, From 2004 to 2009, this parlayed into ownership (of Knit Nouveau, a local yarn store in Homewood, Alabama, During this timo, she developed the knitting-epecific skills she has incorporated into her designs and her effective instructing on particulars of the subject. ‘Though she had designed and tweaked patterns for her own personal use before this point, it was in the shop that she began ‘writing patterns for others’ use. A few of these pattems were published in an online setting, but most of those fashioned during this time were sold in the store itself, Because Merosdes, hhad tailored these patterns to the demands of what the local population would want, she was able to begin publishing more 10. kritscene.com Inspired ty istrial garment, wth its sweet ater palette od aia fe- ‘al embroidery Done ona ger sale than the tn handwor of yesteryear, this isa modern interpretation of ‘cal nen chee, with upizate sith atte anf shr-rm shaping in a snpl Aine shape Yarn Classic Elite Yarns Frey Pattern page 52 ‘experimental patterns and hand dyeing yarn after Knit, Soberg Sweater Mecades says npc by Jan | Seber’ striped wardrobe nthe 1960s ) French lm Beatie this boatneck has a dramate colar an cay sha ing Henmed ges heey the dealing | rip and mader, whitelist dats a a sleek aloe Yar Bonn Seep Coton Flee Pattern page 53 ‘Nouveau clos: its doors.

She has more than. sixty patterns posted on Ravelry, some with upward (f 2,000 likes, and an Interweave Knits cover feature designing patterns for yarn already under hér belt.

It’s easy with duplicate stitch, a surface embellishment that mimics the underlying stitch structure of your knitted fabric. Once you know the basics, you'll be able to use it not only for colorwork embellishment, but also as a handy technique for repairs, too. Duplicate stitch rolios on the structure of stock nette, as the stitching follows the undulating rows of yarn that make up those knitted stitches. Duplicate stitches appear as individual V-shaped knit stitches ‘on the surface and, when done well, will completely hide the stitches beneath. Your fabric will look like it ‘was made using intarsia or Fait Isle! You'll be stitching with a length of yarn on a tap- cestry needle. Even though it may be tempting to cut ‘these strands longer to avoid having too many ends, to weave in, a lngth of 18 to 24 inches will keap your yarn manageable and tangle-froe. How to Work the Stitch Hold your threaded tapestzy noodle atthe back of the work. Bring the needle from beck to front through the base ofa knitted stitch, “Identify the etitch above this knitted stitch, Working right to lft, pass the needle {n and out under both logs ofthis second stitch (Fig- ‘ure 1), then insert it back into the base ofthe fst stitch ‘To work sideways (ight to left), bring needle back out at the base of next stitch to the let, Repéat from *. To werk. upand down, work as fr horizontal duplicate stitch, ending by bringing the needle back out at the base of ‘the stitch directly above stitch just worked. ‘Tension is key. Just as with Kitchener stitch or binding off, you'l need to find a happy medium with Springt2 Knitscone 35, your tension to get a good result, and this may take some practice. You may want to consider practicing on a swatch, When to Use Duplicate Stitch Duplicate stitch can be used to mimic stranded knitting or intarsia motifs, to adda third color toa row } ‘of stranded knitting (so thatthe actual knitting only requires two colors per row), or to cover flaws in the underlying knit fabri, be it stains or damage or an “off stitch that needs to be camouflaged, For images, you can use any pictorial knitting chart or create your own using knitter's graph paper. Once you have your chart, you can plan your approach. To avoid having to backtrack or leave long strands along the back of the work, I normally aim to ‘work bottom to top, in back-and-forth rows, covering ‘each color area before moving on to the next motif. For repairs, you'l normally choose the same yarn 1s the underlying fabric, or as close a match as you Tene eee are good x duplicate stitch’ 26 knitcone.com ce ee Hi a hi Use duplicate stitch to create a latice over intarsia diamonds and you have argyle! OR you can create raunded motifs or simple lines with duplicate stitch, ccan find. I once heard of a knitter who, with too-vigor ous scrubbing, felted a small area of a sweater trying to remove a spot, and with duplicate stitch, was able to hide the fuzzy patch under a new layer of faux knit stitches. Do your best to match the tension of the surtounding fabric. Finishing ‘Once your stitching is complet, all ends should be woven in neatly on the back side of the work. If your yarns contrast greatly, take extra care to avoid shov-through Even with a great match on yarns, duplicate stitch does create a slightly raised, “puted” texture on the ‘embroidered stitches, because of the addition of a second layer of yarn. Most ofthis extra height can be lessened by a good steam blocking. Pin your work out to its finished measurements and, using a thick press ‘loth, give your stitching a shot of steam from an iron or clothing steamer. Avoid pressing down, which can flatten your work. hope you'll begin to see your knits as blank ‘canvases for duplicate magic!
