Knitting device for your own hands

Knitting for each needlewoman is a continuous process. Real fans of their business are engaged in their favorite hobby always and everywhere - on a trip, in transport, in nature and on a walk with a child. And if the hobby has developed into work, then there is no way to do without special adaptations that make life easier.

Assortment of tools

Modern stores for needlewomen offer a huge selection of different devices designed to facilitate and simplify the process. Separators of threads for knitting by jacquard, fingertips, protecting hands from damages, special holders for yarn. Most of the devices can be made by hand. Need for this, materials and a little imagination.

Thread Holder

A useful and necessary device for knitting is a holder, which will not let the balls roll around the whole apartment. Especially useful is this device for those who have knitting from several threads. And to work with the jacquard, when the yarn is constantly confused with each other, this device is irreplaceable.

To work, you need a few plastic bottles. Their number depends on how many threads of different colors are simultaneously in operation. The volume of the bottle affects the size of the coil that can be put inside.

First, a bottle cuts the neck with a clerical knife. The marker indicates the lines by which the container will be cut off. Most of the plastic is cut off, there remains a thin strip about 2.5 cm wide. To make the tip take the form of a hook, a match or lighter is gently placed under the strip of plastic. Do this very carefully, not allowing the material to melt. When the strip at the end takes the form of a loop, you will need to wait for the mold to solidify completely. This hook is conveniently attached to the back of the chair or to the handle of the drawer of the desk, but inside put a tangle. Conveniently packaged thread can not roll into the far corner.

Yarn Separator

Often when knitting, the question arises about how to make sure that the threads do not intertwine with each other. To achieve this, a knitting device consisting of a conventional plastic bucket (you can take a large food container or a container from under-water) will help. On the perimeter on the edge of the container are attached clerical clamps. The clamp loop is removed and threaded into it, then the clamp is attached to the container. Passed through such a device yarn will not be confused.

To prevent tangles from thrashing one on top of the other, inside you can make dividers from cardboard. To do this, cut 3 or 4 strips of cardboard length equal to the diameter of the container, and the width should be chosen with a margin, so that it is enough for the size of the tangle. These bands are inserted one into another. On each middle there is a cut, and they put each other on a tree.

Specific devices

Specialists offer this kind of device, such as a ceramic bowl for knitting. Similar devices for knitting by hands are made by masters working with clay. However, it is possible to make a similar design from a plastic container from shampoo or from a bottle. For this, 2/3 of the neck is cut into the container. The remaining part is put on its side and a marker is marked with a slit line. It should be a twisted line, rounded down. Due to the shape of the thread, the thread that enters it will not tend to escape, but will get inside and not slip.

The edges of such a device are better to be processed - pasted with adhesive tape or colored adhesive paper. If there is a thermo gun, then a layer of glue applied in two or three approaches will perfectly close the sharp sections. The slot should not be too shallow. As a rule, 0.5-0.7 mm is enough for even a thick yarn to lie perfectly in the container.

Portable Organizer

For those needlewomen who can not spend a minute without a favorite business, an excellent solution will be an organizer or a handbag for yarn. Such devices for knitting with knitting needles are convenient in that they take up little space. They are attached to the hand and do not drop. Inside it is possible to put a skein of necessary yarn - so it will always be at hand, will not fall and get dirty. To sew your own hands of a similar bag, you need to draw a pattern. It consists of two parts - external and internal. You can do only one layer - it all depends on the wishes.

Organizer pattern

For the construction of the pattern, it is necessary to remove the dimensions - the wrist circumference. On paper, the letter "T" is drawn with a wide hat and a thinner perpendicular foot. Pattern must be symmetrically mirrored. The edges of the thin stalk are immediately treated to avoid shedding.

To do this, glue material is used, or the fabric is drilled or hand-stitched. Then the handbag is stitched from the wrong side, without grabbing the narrow "legs". This bag is very light and comfortable.

Knitting Socks

Almost every knitter has the first product after the scarf - socks. Knitting them is easy enough, but working with several knitting needles simultaneously requires a certain skill. For those who want to tie socks, a knitting device called luma or Tenerife will come to the rescue. It looks like this device is one row from a knitting machine. In the adaptation there are hooks or rods on which the thread is fastened. Then, with the help of a hand hook or a special hook, the thread is thrown, and a cloth is formed. The hook can be simple, for knitting. Too big bend, which is in the classic hook, does not let the threads come off. However, there is also no possibility in this way of weaving to transfer the thread quickly. The hook can also be made independently.

Such a device for knitting socks at home is made from improvised materials. For example, to make a rectangular stand, you need a board 3-4 cm wide and about 50 cm long. Carnations are driven along the perimeter of the board. The distance between them is chosen independently, however, the optimal option, which will fit most of the yarn, is not more than 1 cm.

Depending on the intended pattern, the shape of the machine and the location of the fixtures can vary. In order to tie socks on such a device, it is better to use another variant of the form. Need a foam plastic or plastic round base. A silicone cover is suitable. On the perimeter, pushpins are inserted at a distance of about 0.7 cm. A hole is cut in the center, the diameter of which is 5 cm.

The process of knitting

Suitable is a device for knitting socks and mitts. To fasten the loop, it is necessary to move clockwise. In the left hand hold the tail of the thread, and the right button is the turn. After making a complete move, another row is executed. And in the third row, the previous loops (loops of the first row) are thrown through the loops of the second row. For this purpose, the hook of the lower row rises, crochets or hand, is slightly pulled up and discarded from the paper clip. Series after row of yarn, tied together, lengthens. Knitting in this technique turns out to be loose, but elastic. Due to this, you can not untie the heel on the socks - the fabric comfortably sits on the leg.

Knit so until the sock or mitten reaches the desired length (up to the thumb or heel). To reduce the loops make the omission in the knitting - throw the yarn not on each axis, but through one.

An unusual, but useful device for knitting can do for everyone. The main thing is to understand what is needed - convenience, functionality, speed of work. The device for knitting mitts, socks, scarves can be designed according to the needs of the master.
