ART OF DARKNESS GOTHIC, AESTHETICS, AND KNITTING
ART OF DARKNESS
Gothic, Aesthetics, and Knitting
BY JULIA PILLARD
Everyone has a different image in mind when

they hear the word Gothic. Some picture the
soaring edifices of many of Europe’s most
famous cathedrals, while others imagine those
cathedrals in ruins and inhabited by windswept
maidens dressed in white. Still others may
envision the barbarian tribes that plagued the
Roman Empire, or the goth fashion movement
popularized in the latter half of the twentieth
century. Where, then, does true Gothic lie?
The answer is a complicated labyrinth of history, terminology, poli-

tics, and culture. The term “Gothic” derives from the Latin term
for a barbarian tribe in Northern Germany. It is perhaps no surprise
that, given its association with barbarians, when Gothic was used
to describe the towering architectural style that emerged in the
ISTOCK / GETTY IMAGES PLUS/GRAPE_VEIN

mid-twelfth century, it was meant as an insult. Most people are now
familiar with the trappings of Gothic architecture: Flying buttresses,
pointed arches, and ribbed vaults were developed to give more
height to structures and increase natural light. Gothic architecture
flourished from the late Middle Ages through the Renaissance, and
the term that originally was meant to insult became just the name
of that particular style. Several of the designs in this issue were
inspired by the towering, dramatic style of Gothic architecture.
Fiona Munro’s St. Machar Wrap (page 30), for example, was inspired
by St. Machar’s Cathedral, located in her hometown of Aberdeen,
Scotland. The church, which was completed in 1530, today sports
stunning stained glass and pointed Gothic arches. You can read
more about Fiona’s exploration of St. Machar’s in this issue’s
Ravelings (page 80).
But Gothic aesthetics did not stay in the world of architecture. that the book was a translated manuscript from sixteenth-century

In 1747, he purchased his house, Strawberry Hill, which he trans-

formed into a neo-Gothic paradise. However, the word became
associated with many of the set pieces of Walpole’s story, not the
least of which was the aesthetic: a crumbling manor house in spooky
environs. Several designers in this issue pursued that aesthetic with
their own haunting designs. Jennifer Miller Comstock’s Thrushcross

they appear in another Gothic tale, Wuthering Heights.
But, you might be thinking, hold on. Why are you telling me all
of this? Sure, Gothic is certainly an aesthetic style. But this is a
knitting magazine. Where’s the gosh-darn knitting?
Don’t you worry, my friend. Gothic literature and knitting have
tangled together, too.
When women began writing in the Gothic genre, knitting found
its way into those texts. In Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre (1847), the
titular character receives help and advice from Mr. Rochester’s
housekeeper, Mrs. Fairfax, who is almost never seen without her
knitting. When Jane later runs away from Thornfield Hall, she again
Author Horace Walpole’s manor, Strawberry Hill, embodies the encounters knitting in the home of her helpful cousins. By contrast,
spooky, ornate environs of the Gothic genre. her nasty cousin Eliza Reed is “stitching, with gold thread, the
border of a square crimson cloth” when Jane comes back to the
Reeds’ house after many years of absence. The perceived difference
during the Victorian period between knitting and other forms of
fiber craft was that of usefulness. Knitting was a necessity for the
lower-classes, when embroidery and other “fancy-work” were
reserved for upper-class ladies. The distinction for authors was
clear: If you want your reader to recognize a character’s moral
strength, set her up with some knitting needles.
Perhaps the most notable exhibit of knitting and Gothic, however,
comes from Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness (1899). The main
character, before departing down the Congo river, sees two women
knitting black wool. As he looks at the older of the two, “An eerie
feeling came over me. She seemed uncanny and fateful. Often far
away there I thought of these two, guarding the door of Darkness,
knitting black wool as for a warm pall, one introducing, introducing
continuously into the unknown, the other scrutinizing the cheery
and foolish faces with unconcerned old eyes.”
Gothic art has gone through many, many transformations through
the centuries, but throughout it all, there has been a balance of
light and darkness. From the soaring cathedrals meant to bring in
more natural light to the Gothic novel, where the main character—
often a woman—is threatened but always emerges victorious, Gothic
traditions present us with an important balance between the familiar
and the uncanny, the light and the dark. Many of the pieces in this
issue explore that balance: Lucy Westenra’s Wrap (page 22) by
designer Susanna IC is a stunningly lacy wrap interspersed with
glinting beads, giving weight to an otherwise airy design.
As you peruse these pages, let us take you into the realm of the
uncanny. Let your craft become mysterious once more and explore
the uncharted—or, in the case of Kristen Jancuk’s Vaulted Swoncho
(page 25), meticulously charted—waters of these Gothic knits.

CONTROLLING LADDERS
CONTROLLING
LADDERS
WHEN WORKING CABLES
BY DONNA ESTIN
C
ables are one of the most impressive design elements in
handknitting. The raised stitches of a cable pattern cross
and intertwine in intriguing ways, making the knitting
look incredibly complex (even though cables are not that
difficult to knit). However, while the cables themselves are the
primary focus of the design, the background stitches are equally
important because they provide a platform on which to display and
accentuate the cabled stitches. Cables can be worked over a back-
ground of stockinette stitch or a textured stitch pattern such as moss
stitch. More often than not, however, cables are worked on a back-
ground of reverse stockinette stitch so they will really stand out.
But the relationship between the cables and the reverse stockinette
background stitches can sometimes be problematic. One of the most
common problems is the appearance of ladders between the cable
stitches and the adjacent background stitches. These ladders detract
from the gorgeousness of the cables and can even affect the gauge.
In this article, we’ll talk about how ladders are formed when working
cable patterns and ways to avoid them (or fix them after the fact).
WHAT IS A LADDER?
A ladder is a vertical column of running threads—the horizontal

strands that connect stitches to each other—that have been elongated
in some way so that there is a space between the two stitches that
are connected by the running thread. Ladders can sometimes be
intentional. For example, when working drop-stitch patterns, a stitch
is dropped from the needle and raveled down to create a gap that
is spanned by the running threads that connect the stitches on either
side of the dropped stitch. But most ladders are unintentional and
should be avoided because they can make a garment look less
polished. For example, ladders can appear between groups of stitches
on separate double-pointed needles when you’re working in the
round because of the greater distance that the working yarn has to
travel from the last stitch on one needle to the first stitch on the
next needle.
Miss Eyre’s Cape, Ladders can also appear when going from knit stitches to purl
pattern page 72. stitches because more yarn is used than when going from knit
stitches to knit stitches. When a knit stitch is followed by a purl

CONTROLLING LADDERS WHEN WORKING CABLES
stitch, the yarn goes from the back of the

work after the knit stitch is complete to the
front of the work and then counterclockwise
around the right needle before completing
the purl stitch (Figure 1). The extra yarn
between the stitches either works its way
back into the preceding knit stitch—making
the stitch larger than the other stitches—or
creates an elongated running thread
between the stitches (Figure 2). (And the
FIGURE 1 FIGURE 2
effect is even more noticeable if the purl
stitch is worked too loosely.) You often see
this with ribbing, and it’s why seed stitch
can have holes or look uneven. It’s also the
reason why a ladder may appear in a cable
pattern where the last column of knit stitches
on the cable meets the first column of purl
stitches on the background (Photo 1).
The slack in forming the purl stitch can
happen each time you change from a knit
stitch to a purl stitch (which is why the
ladder appears on the left side of the cable
and not the right), but the stretching is more
exaggerated on the rows where you’re cross-
ing the cable stitches because the act of
crossing one group of stitches in front of or
behind another group draws in the extra
yarn from the background stitches and
extends the running threads even more,
leaving gaps.
The ladder on the left side of the cable
also skews the cable to the right and makes
the reverse stockinette stitch panel on the
left wider than the one on the right. This
not only creates a messy, asymmetrical cable
pattern, but it also has an effect on the
gauge.
LADDERS CHANGE GAUGE PHOTO 1
Ladders can change the stitch gauge of a

fabric and make a garment wider than
intended. Notice, for example, the width
difference between the two swatches in
Photo 2. Both swatches have the same
number of stitches, but the swatch on the
right (with no ladder) is narrower and the
cable is centered. By contrast, the swatch
on the left (with the ladder) has a cable that
is off-center and the reverse stockinette
stitch panel on the left side of the cable is
wider than the panel on the right. The extra
width in one panel may not seem like a lot,
but if you are working multiple cables across
the width of a garment, the small difference
in each cable repeat can add as much as
7½" across a 20" back (or 15" to the total
circumference).

CONTROLLING LADDERS WHEN WORKING CABLES
PREVENTING LADDERS
There are a few different methods for preventing ladders in cable

patterns, and they all involve taking up the slack in the purl stitch
that comes immediately after the cable. Here are four common
methods:
METHOD 1
After knitting the last stitch of the cable, bring the yarn forward
and pull downward rather snugly before purling the next purl stitch.
METHOD 2
After knitting the last stitch of the cable, bring the yarn to the front
and insert the right needle tip into the next stitch to begin working
PHOTO 3
the purl stitch, then give the yarn a firm tug before continuing with
the purl stitch.
METHOD 3
Instead of wrapping the yarn counterclockwise around the right
needle when working the purl stitch, wrap the yarn clockwise
(Photo 3), which won’t add quite as much yarn between the knit
stitch and the purl stitch. This technique is very effective and will
tighten up the stitch even if you’re a loose knitter. But make sure to
knit the stitch through the back loop on the next row to prevent it
from being twisted.
METHOD 4
Work the first two or three purl stitches after the cable close to the
needle tips, where the diameter of the needle is smaller so that the
stitches will be smaller.
When I’m working cables, I usually use a combination of these PHOTO 4

four methods. For example, I work at the needle tips, pull the yarn
downward, and tug a bit. If I’m working a large cable, such as a
10- or 12-stitch cable, I will use the third method, wrapping the
yarn around the needle clockwise.
FIXING LADDERS AFTER THE FACT
If you notice ladders after you’ve finished knitting, you can minimize
their appearance by using a tapestry needle or fine knitting needle
and pulling up the slack on the ladder, then working the excess
yarn back into the knit stitches on the cable (Photos 4 and 5).
As you pull up on each stitch, the slack in the looser purl stitches
will move to the tighter cable stitches and the stitch size will even
out. Blocking the garment after making this adjustment will help
to “set” the stitches. This time-consuming process should be used
only as a last resort. It’s far better to avoid the ladders in the first
place. But things happen, and if you find yourself staring at ugly PHOTO 5

RAVELINGS
Gothic Knits
Inspiration
GETTY IMAGES/ GERARD VAN DEN AKKER

BY FIONA MUNRO
I
never know where I will next find inspiration for new knitting-
pattern designs. Often it will be when I am out for a walk or
when I let my mind wander as I’m falling asleep.
When I saw that the theme for this issue of Interweave Knits
was Gothic literature and architecture, I was excited but not imme-
diately sure what kind of design to propose. Initially stumped, I left
it there and figured inspiration would find me.
The next day, I went on one of my long walks in Aberdeen, Scotland,
where I live, as I often do on the weekend. With no particular route
in mind, I walked along the sandy Aberdeen Beach until I reached
the River Don, where I took the riverside path as it followed the
meandering river inland. I found myself in Old Aberdeen, a former
burgh of Aberdeen, filled with beautiful, old buildings. My favorite
of these buildings is St. Machar’s Cathedral, set amongst the trees on
the banks of the river. Completed in 1530, it is technically no longer
a cathedral, because it has no seat for a bishop and is, therefore, a
fortified high kirk, which is Scottish for church. It is striking, with its
twin towers in the style of fourteenth-century tower houses, stonework,
and stained-glass windows. I walked up the stone path and wandered
inside. Although I had walked past the cathedral, I had never ventured
inside before. As I entered, I was surprised by the beautiful interior,
which I had all to myself, and the contrast of simple stone walls against
the ornate wooden pews and paneled oak ceiling adorned with 48
heraldic shields. The simple shapes of the columns and natural
materials of the wood and stone contrast with the stunning stained-
glass windows bringing beautiful colors of light into the kirk.
This mesmerizing structure made me pause, and I realised I had
just found my Gothic architectural inspiration!
Moved by the dramatic shapes and ornamentation of the Gothic
style, as well as the incredible skill and craftsmanship, I sat and
started to sketch on a piece of paper that I had in my pocket. Once I
finished wandering around inside and outside, taking the building in
from all angles, I made my way home with my mind full of thoughts
of how to translate my rough scribbles into something that resembled
a Fair Isle chart. I knew I wanted to design something using two
strongly contrasting colors that would mimic the stone and wood
materials of the cathedral to show off the shapes and details of its
architecture and translate it into a softer medium.
Once home, I started working out the design from my initial St. Machar Wrap, pattern page 71
drawings. With some refinement, these turned into an intricate Fair
Isle chart. In order to best show off the beautiful pattern, I decided FIONA MUNRO is a knitting-pattern designer living in
that this complex design was best suited as a large rectangular wrap. Aberdeen, Scotland. She has been an avid knitter since she
