Suminagashi Ink Marbling
Jody Alexander
Suminagashi, or “floating ink,” is an ancient paper marbling technique that involves alternating ink and a resist to create a beautiful sequence of rings. The effect can be subtle or more pronounced, and the resulting prints can be used for book and art projects. One lovely aspect of this process is how unpredictable it is, with the water determining the pattern so you will be surprised every time.

Steeking can be downright terrifying, because it requires taking a pair of scissors to your precious knitting. But once you watch this workshop with Kristin, you’ll wonder what you were scared of. Steeking makes fancy colorwork patterns much easier to knit, because you can knit in the round and then open your work up to lay flat. Kristin shows step by step how to knit in the round, reinforce your steeks, cut them and then add mitered corners to create this stunner of a pillow and shed all of your steeking fears once and for all.

I knit continental style and it is much faster. I hold the yarn in my left hand, around my pinky and across my fore finger. As I put the needle through the loop, its just a small movement to put the tip of the needle behind the yarn and pull it forward back out of the loop and slip it off. I pull slightly with the fore finger to make sure the new loop is the proper tightness on the needle as use my two other finger/ palm to slide the other loops forward. It was ackward at first, as learning new skills always are, but now its so smooth and simple. For my old hands flipping that yarn over is painful and hard on my joints. I'm glad I took the time to learn the better way while I was young. Pearling is easy too, much easier than throwing around a yarn.Again the needle is doing the work of wrapping the yarn and pulling it through, but my thumb assists the process. I probably do it all wrong as I never had anyone show me how. I just read that it was possible as that was the continental way, and played around until I found a way that worked for me. Those were the old days of no internet. The only time I use the wrap around over the top method is when showing younger kids how to knit and for special patterns such as cable. I just flew through making a large blanket with a lot of eyelet work, seeding and cables. It was only the cabling and the first couple of stitches in the new row after turning that used the yarn around the top method as you can pull a little more firmly on tightening those stitches. Those are my slow spots and then I can fly. I think this video does a disservice as it may make you unwilling to learn a better way as this was is good enough and feels fast. Its just looks busy fast with yarn wapping around. I have friends who can knit fast that way but are unwilling to learn a better way. Obviously believing its not better. Fine, better is in the eye of the knitter. But for arthritis and getting projects done faster, yes, there is a better way.
