I discovered that I had enough yarn in my stash to start this beautiful blanket. So, this morning, with a fresh cup of coffee I began and just love how it is...
Make sure you've found the errata for the 30-somethingth row or you'll pull your hair out (as I know from experience). The Rainey Sisters have the corrected...
Hi, Depending on what version you are using there may be an error in row 35. If row 35 on your version reads: 35th rnd: yo, k1, yo, * sl 1, k2tog, psso., yo,...
I hate to simply put up an ad, but I did get the yarn this way last year for a wedding gift. Webs aka. yarn.com is having their anniversary sale and the...
One of the other members said she used a wool yarn and it worked very well. I think the animal fiber has the stretch needed to block out properly. Virgi ...
HELP! I feel so silly that I cannot figure this out. I used both the feather star doily pattern and Jerards (sp?) comparing the two as I knit. Things seemed...
There is also a pattern available thru Raverly that the original designer of the Hemlock inspired someone to rework it so that it can be adapted to non-wool...
Assuming you are using the chart from Brooklyn Tweed's Website, which looks like an upside down triangle (trapazoid really but who is counting) It Starts in...
Hi there, I'm planning to start this project soon but was curious about people's experience using yarn other than the Eco wool. I was thinking I would get...
I tried a less bulky yarn and it did not look good. Since the dimensions even with the eco wool is small, I would just stick with that. Currently, I think...
I say BREAK out of the box!! Shake that fear of yarn substitution. All you need to do is use a little common sense and if it helps to make the leap SWATCH....
I finished my lap blanket and thought I'd share a few tips.  I started on a #9 on a light worsted wool.   The star was really tight so I blocked the star...
Hello. Although I have knitted lace before, it has always been something like a flat scarf. I have some basic questions about this hemlock ring blanket and if...
Hi, Alan, I would call 18 stitches per 4 inches a nice worsted weight yarn. I think the yarn Jared used was bulkier. It should knit up fine, if it's wool,...
The written pattern goes through the whole thing beginning to end. If you are used to charts (or want to learn about using them) there is a companion chart...
I just cast on with Eco Wool on Sunday. I must admit that I'm having a ball with this pattern. I've never done a lace project before, other than some simple...
Hi Everyone!! I totally fell in love with the Hemlock Pattern but it is intimidating me. I'm in the process of making my first round table cover now that is...
How do you....Carefully. Remember you should have created 2 loops worth of yarn over in the previous row. You drop one loop and then keep making stitches and...
Hello. I am Beth, I am a short/quick project addict and I am going to try to break this horrible habit with this beautiful pattern. I have admired it for...
Well, I grabbed yarn from my stash and cast on last night. I am working with LB Wool-Ease in the Violet colorway. I worked up to row 25 before bed. Today I...
Hey Beth, Enjoy the ride. For a "Big project", this is a pretty easy knit. Once you get to the F&F part it's basically up to you how big you want to make it....
Congratulations Beth! I hope you enjoy knitting your Hemlock as much as I did. I finished blocking mine over the weekend and posted photos to my blog...
I have nearly finished - about to start the border on mine. I used Cascade 220 in duck egg, which is beautiful, but I needed more than two hanks of wool....
