Store Message
Thanks everyone for your support of our custom knits. We look forward to 2024 being a great year here at The Knit Tree. As Sharon Nani, owner, prepares for retirement, she is training her son, Ken to knit the items in the online store, plus the ones that were removed. Ken is going to take over The Knit Tree and its equipment so we can continue to offer these unique custom knits to our customers. Ken is not new to machine knitting - he earned his high school and college spending money by filling orders back in the 1990's, and has continued to help in maintaining the equipment. Ken is creative in his own rights with his "Custom Wood and Land Works" business where he falls the timber, prepares the lumber and creates unique wood items and projects: custom storage sheds, fences, decks ect. So we may add new catagories to this web site when the time arrives. SO LOOK FORWARD TO ADDING THE CAMO KNITS BACK INTO THE ONLINE STORE THIS YEAR.
Another group of Machine Knit America articles that I wrote are posted on The Knit Trees ‘article page’ http://www.theknittree.com/articles.html These are all under the Knitting Machine Basics Category.
Travel as You Knit is a series of three articles giving detailed instructions on how to knit necklines by the short row method. These are written for machine knitters, but hand knitters can use the same techniques by slipping stitches. This technique is how I try to finish most of my knit garments because it gives a very smooth and polished finish which makes assembly even easier. I suggest you knit each mini sample from parts 1 thru 3 because it starts with the simple rules then advances unto the round necklines – learning these knitting skills will give you the foundation to add the procedures to any of your own knit garments. Have fun Knitting
