World's Biggest Sock

Knitters at The Village Yarn & Fiber Shop in East Rochester, NY are hard at work on what will eventually be the World's Largest Sock. According to blogger LJC, who helped out for a spell, they'll have to knit 12 feet before beginning the heel turn. You can still stop by today if you'd like to help add some stitches, visit the shop's website for info. [via] Link.

Duplicate Stitch Tutorial

The Purl Bee has a tutorial on how to make a duplicate stitch, a great way to add some patterns to your knitting without the fuss of intarsia.

From the site:

Duplicate Stitch, or Swiss Darning as it is sometimes called, is a really simple way to add personality to a project. The basic concept of Duplicate Stitch is in its name. You sew over your finished knitting with a contrast color, "duplicating" the original knit stitches. It's much easier than fair-isling or intarsia.

To find out how to do the duplicate stitch, visit The Purl Bee. - Link.

Contest : Design a Pattern for Chronicle Books

Christina at Chronicle Books writes:

We're putting the finishing touches on our latest knitting book, Picture Perfect Knits by Laura Birek, and want to see your ideas. The book pulls together more than 50 intarsia grids for adding fun designs into any knit project. We have lots of patterns already, but we want yours! This is knitting for the people, by the people. We're looking for the five most creative, most dream-worthy intarsia knitting patterns. It could be anything, from a jaunty anchor to a geek-chic argyle pattern to a killer alphabet. Whatever pattern you would want to see in a knitting book. Five winners will have their name and pattern printed in the book and be promoted here on our Handmade Thursdays. Winners will also receive a free copy of the book when it comes out next fall.
