Fibonacci and Knitting

Some time ago I learned that Fibonacci can be applied to knitting. If you are not familiar with Fibonacci, he was a mathematician from the middle ages. He figured out the relationship of proportions, now known as the golden ratio (or number), Fibonacci sequence or 1.618 or Phi. This sequence is seen in practically everything. I’ll link to several articles if you wish to learn more. From reproducing animals, to sea shells and galaxies, the human form and sunflowers. (Mona Lisa, Parthenon, and the pyramids of Egypt, just to name a few). This ratio is present in many, many more surprising things. The first time I used this was in my felted bag. I loved the random look of it. This pattern is The Big  Bag Pattern (free on Ravelry) by Maia Discoe (link ) Below are a couple of links if you wish to learn more.. Fibonacci Numbers and Nature The Wiki and Fibonacci Mona Lisa -- Da Vinci's Use of Sacred Geometry (you tube link) In mathematics, the Fibonacci numbers or Fibonacci...

Hills and Valleys Cowl/Hood (free pattern)

I was searching for the perfect cowl that I had in my mind to knit. Trawling on Ravelry, I wanted one, just the right size around, only once around my neck and not too tight, loose enough to pull up around my face and tall enough to get it around my ears during a windy dog walk, but able to squish it down into my collar of my coat and not be too thick and bulky. About a third of the way into the pattern I decided to make it long enough to pull up as a hood also.  I finally just un-vented this one, as Elizabeth Zimmerman would say. Add caption This is a simple stitch textured cowl/hood (you decide the length). Suitable for beginning knitters. Purl ridges make the cowl easy to scrunchy down or pull up. You can wear the ribbed end on top if you are wearing it as a cowl to make it snuggie around your neck or, wear the purl ridges on top if you are pulling it up as a hood. If you have any questions or find an error please let me know so I can correct it!  I’ve added some tuto...

Knit Cardigan (free pattern)

Who isn't trying to decrease their stash or get more organized these day? I'm trying to use what I have, although often I "need" to purchase more yarn to make the project I'm planning "work" hehe. While shopping my stash I had an idea to mix two strands of yarn, one solid and one dk weight multi color together and knit a simple cardigan. (and use even more stash up)  It was easy and fast to make.  I used a worsted weight yarn Lion Brand Fisherman's Wool in Beige 100% Wool, which I love, always a workhorse yarn for myself and always available at big box stores.  The lighter weight (Yarn Bee Dee-Lish Boutique in the color almond bark, a Hobby Lobby brand yarn).  I loved the long color change of this yarn and it seemed like it would be nice to add to the first without making the result too bulky.  This yarn is listed as a DK weight but I think it is closer to fingering weight)  it is 90% Acrylic and 10% Alpaca, so it has a little halo to it. I'm a...
