OUR GRANDMOTHERS’ WOOL: A CENTURY OF PROGRESSION
OUR GRANDMOTHERS’
WOOL
A CENTURY OF PROGRESSION
BY SOPHIA MINAKAIS
Wool is one of the most ancient fibers known to man—from ancient Egypt, across the African
continent into the Middle East and cities of Medieval Europe; from the oldest Mayan settlements to
the villages of the Navajo; from the farthest corners of the earth. Over millennia, a tradition of wool
production has developed with its earliest roots dating so far back that they cannot be clearly traced.
Shrouded in mystery and the passage of thousands of years, wool crafting is among mankind’s
earliest traditions. It’s amazing to think, given our modern age of conveniences and technological
advances, that we still share this common bond with our ancient ancestors. But over all this time,
how much has the trusty medium of the craft changed? The answer is a fascinating one.

You don’t have to look to ancient Egypt to find wool that was much
different than it is today. Many people, especially those outside the
knitting community, consider wool to be an antiquated fiber. They
find it rough, ugly, and all-around irritating. Offering them a wool
garment would probably be met with a polite refusal and an excuse
to run as far away as possible. This negative response to wool is not
altogether unfounded. It is, however, outdated. Few people realize
just how far wool production has come. The idea that a wool sweater
could become your favorite winter piece or a wool blanket could
become a treasured family heirloom is, for many, still difficult
to fathom.

Discover
a new knitting tradition with
Galina Khmeleva
For over 300 years, the elegant lace shawls from Orenburg,
Russia beguiled knitters and collectors alike. While many lace
knitters may be acquainted with the delicate “gossamer webs”
for which Orenburg is famous, in this online workshop Galina
Khmeleva focuses on the “warm shawl,” a much sturdier, yet
more luxurious cousin seldom found outside the region.
Through a series of instructional videos, interview segments,

and archival photographs, this online workshop will cover a
brief history, tools and materials, 10 basic motifs, the unique
construction of the warm shawl, how to wash, block, and ﬁnish
your shawl, and so much more.
Plus, this online workshop also features downloadable charts

and 2 full patterns for an Orenburg warm shawl.

A KNITTER’S GUIDE TO GRAFTING A KNITTED CABLE PATTERN TOP-TO-BOTTOM
Grafting a Knitted Cable Pattern

TOP-TO-BOTTOM BY JONI CONIGLIO
The prospect of grafting a cable pattern makes some knitters very nervous, even those who might
otherwise feel comfortable with grafting. If you are one of these knitters, perhaps it will ease your
fear (at least a little) if I tell you that, even though cables can sometimes make a pattern look
complex, the basic structure of most cable patterns is composed entirely of knit and purl stitches.
So, while the cables can’t be discounted completely (because they will have some effect on the
grafting), the grafting process itself is relatively simple, consisting of just four grafting steps for
stockinette stitch and four steps for reverse stockinette stitch (that are the reverse of the steps for
grafting stockinette stitch).
There is, however, one important thing that needs to be consid- cables near the cast-on row can be mitigated by using waste yarn to
ered when grafting a ribbing or cable pattern, and that is the secure the cast-on stitches and how running a lifeline through the
knitting direction—in relation to the grafted row—of both pieces cast-on stitches before removing the waste yarn can keep the cast-on

Grafting instructions that are written for top-to-top grafting will have in the same vertical column of stitches (see Grafting Chart Symbols

although there is a certain amount of flexibility when it comes to that no stitches are missed (Photo 4).
deciding which pattern rows to use for the grafted row and the pro-
visional cast-on row, there are some factors that should be taken into
account: PHOTO 3
• The grafted row and the provisional cast-on row need to be

inserted into the cable pattern as two consecutive rows: one
right-side row for the grafted row and the following wrong-side
row for the provisional cast-on row.
• Choose the two simplest rows possible, such as two non-
cabled rows.
• Place the two rows as far away from a cable row as possible.
If the cable rows are far enough apart, the grafted and provi-
sional cast-on rows should be centered between two cable rows,
where there will be minimal distortion.
PHOTO 4
• If there are cables on every right-side row, the right-side cable
row should be assigned to the grafted row. It will be necessary
to rearrange the cable stitches before grafting them in their
new configuration—a process that is similar to cabling without
a cable needle. If there are a different number of cables in
each right-side row, choose a row with the fewest cables.
Example 1: The cable pattern used for the Devonshire Beanie

brim (Chart 1) has seven plain ribbing rows between cable rows.
Of these seven plain rows, two can be used for the cast-on and
grafted rows. This limits the possibilities to Rows 1 and 2; 5 and
6; 7 and 8; 9 and 10; 13 and 14; and 15 and 16. Of these six pairs

Using Waste Yarn for the Provisional Cast-on PHOTO 7

There are a couple of ways to cast on provisionally using waste yarn,
but I prefer to crochet a chain with waste yarn and then pick up
stitches into the back of the chain with the working yarn. (Some
people find it easier to work the chain directly onto the needle and
then knit across the stitches with the working yarn. Either method
is fine and will achieve the same result.) Use a cotton waste yarn for
the cast-on that is sturdy enough to hold the stitches securely to
minimize distortion. When working across the waste yarn stitches,
don’t work them in pattern because doing so will make the waste
yarn more difficult to remove. (And there’s no need to work this row
in pattern because the pattern will be created when the stitches are
grafted.) Using waste yarn that is a very different color than the
working yarn and knitting across the waste yarn stitches on a
wrong-side row will make it easier to see the cast-on stitches when
placing them onto the knitting needle.
I don’t recommend using Judy’s Magic Cast-on or the Turkish
Cast-on when grafting cable patterns. Judy’s Magic Cast-on will add
an extra row of stockinette stitch that can disrupt the cable pattern.
And, while the Turkish Cast-on will not result in an extra row, the
stitches tend to be large and loose, and they may shift out of their
correct order when you graft them.

transitions (Photo 5). Stitches may cross on top of each other used for the chain) into the stitches before picking them up and
(Photo 6). And stitches may even be oriented with the left leg of the removing the waste yarn. That way, you can simply follow the lifeline
through each stitch as you place it on the knitting needle, without
PHOTO 5 even thinking about how it’s oriented. Leave the lifeline in until after
the stitches are grafted so that if you make a mistake, you can simply
undo the grafted stitches without losing any stitches in the process
(Photo 7).
INSERTING A LIFELINE
With the right side of the work facing, insert the tapestry needle from
right side to wrong side into each working-yarn loop on the chain,
beginning with the half loop at the very edge (Photo 8). Continue
working across the row from right to left (Photo 9), making sure to
spread out the cast-on stitches wherever there is a cable twist so that
no loops are missed (Photo 10). Some of the working-yarn loops
under the cables may look more vertical than horizontal (Photo 11).
As you go, count the loops to make sure the lifeline is going through
PHOTO 6 exactly the same number of loops as the number of stitches that were
cast on.
Once the lifeline is in place, undo the waste yarn chain beginning
with the last chain worked (Photo 12) and place the stitches on the
needle, following the path of the lifeline through each stitch
(Photo 13). When all the stitches have been placed on the needle,
thread the cast-on tail onto a tapestry needle and create an extra
stitch on the knitting needle (Photo 14). You will need this extra
stitch in order to work all four grafting steps for the last stitch.

PHOTO 10 PHOTO 11
PHOTO 12 PHOTO 13 PHOTO 14
GRAFTING THE STITCHES
To graft, hold the knitting needles parallel, with the wrong sides
together, the needle holding the provisional cast-on stitches in back,
and the needle with the grafting yarn in front. Then work four graft-
ing steps for each stitch, depending on whether you’re working
stockinette stitch, reverse stockinette stitch, or garter stitch. Once
all the stitches are grafted, remove the lifeline, weave in the ends,
and admire your perfectly grafted cable pattern!
