"Bilberry Girl"

"Bilberry Girl"

Portrait of my kitty Jagoda, drawn to celebrate the first anniversary of her becoming my cat.

She's holding a bilberry shoot in her mouth, because bilberry is commonly refered to as "jagoda" in Polish. I actually chose this name in reference to her black fur.

Here's to many more years together!

German short rows

My favourite kind of short rows, because they are the easiest, require the least movement and are the same no matter which side you are on or whether you are knitting or purling.

After you turn, you make a double stitch, which is subsequently treated as a simple stitch.

To make the double stitch, slip the “pivot” stitch purlwise without bringing the yarn in front. This is the equivalent of a purlwise slipped stitch and a yarn over. In practice it is done in one movement and the result looks like a double stitch. Make sure to pull the yarn to get a tight pivot stitch.
