Image Crochet.jpg thumb 220px Filet crochet Filet crochet is a type of crochet ed fabric. This type of crocheted lace is gridlike because it uses only two crochet stitches the chain stitch and the double crochet stitch United States U.S. terminology known in some other countries as chain stitch and treble . Old filet patterns used a treble or triple stitch vertically but chained two between the vertical stitches. This was to prevent distortion of some patterns. Chain stitches use less yarn than double crochet stitches, which results in a visual difference in appearance between the two kinds of stitch. Filet crochet forms patterns by filling in parts of a mostly chain stitch mesh with double crochet stitches. ref Eckman, p. 264. ref Filet crochet is usually constructed from monotone crochet thread made of mercerized cotton Mercerised cotton in white or ecru, and worked in rows. Filet crochet is used for decorative applications such as window curtains, tablecloth s, and place settings such as coaster s and placemat s. Filet crochet is most often worked from a graph or a symbol diagram. Patterns are created by combining solid and open meshes, usually working the design in solid meshes and the background in open meshes. The size of the space is determined by the number of chain stitches between each double stitch. ref Eckman, pp. 265 266. ref Filet crochet may also be worked by alternating chain stitches with another type of crochet stitch such as U.S. terminology half double or triple crochet, and may be worked from yarn instead of thread.

Crochet thread is specially formulated thread yarn thread usually made from mercerized cotton for crafting decorative crochet items such as doily doilies or filet crochet . Crochet thread produces fabric of fine gauge knitting gauge that may be stiffened with starch . Differences from yarn and sewing thread Crochet thread is almost always produced from cotton and has a denser pile and smaller diameter than ordinary yarn . Most crochet threads are thicker in diameter than sewing yarn. Crochet thread can withstand considerable stresses from pulls with sharp hooks. Crochet manufacturing conventions treat thread and yarn quite differently manufacturers designate different sizing scales for thread and yarn. Thread is generally packaged on spool s instead of skeins or hanks and is offered for sale in a separate section from ordinary yarns or threads. Crochet hooks for use with thread are also sized according to a different scale from yarn hooks. Thread hooks are also manufactured differently from yarn hooks modern yarn hooks are usually aluminum or plastic , while thread hooks are made of steel and have smaller hook heads and shorter shanks. The division between yarn and thread is somewhat arbitrary crochet thread at its thickest is similar in diameter and behavior to fine cotton yarn.

Image Tunisian crochet hook.jpg right thumb 200px a Tunisian crochet hook. Tunisian crochet , also known as Afghan crochet , is a type of crochet that uses an elongated crochet hook hook , often with a stopper on the handle end, called an Afghan hook. It is sometimes considered to be a mixture of crocheting and knitting . As such, some techniques used in knitting are also applicable in Tunisian crochet. One example is the Intarsia knitting intarsia method. The work is begun with the traditional starting chain, a series of slip stitches. Once the chain is completed, the first row is worked by inserting the hook back into the previous link of the chain, and a loop from the free end of the yarn is grabbed with the hook and pulled back through the link. Unlike traditional crochet, however, this new loop is not then pulled through the initial loop. Both remain on the hook and then the process is repeated, working from right to left, until each link in the chain has been worked. At the end, there will be as many loops on the hook as there are stitches required. This process is called Casting on knitting casting on . This is the first of two parts for creating a row. The work is never turned. Once the correct number of loops is obtained, the process is reversed with each loop being worked off from the hook by pulling a fresh loop of yarn through each stitch, working from left to right. It is both parts of the process which form a completed row. The tension of the yarn is much looser than in standard crochet or knitting. Tunisian crochet can also be worked in the round, as when making a seamless cap. To work in the round a double ended crochet hook and two balls of yarn are used. The first ..., to name a few.

Crochet patterns have a mathematics mathematical basis, so stitch markers serve as a visual reference that takes the place of continuous stitch counting and reduces a crocheter s error rate. Common uses for stitch markers include noting the first stitch on a crochet round, marking increase or decrease points, or identifying key locations in a complex repetitive stitch pattern. ref Eckman, pp. 21 22, 154. ref Beginning crocheters may use stitch markers to identify a turning chain . ref Eckman, p.90. ref Stitch markers can also designate attachment points for components of a multi part project, such as a sleeve on a sweater . ref Stoller, P. 23. ref Crochet often employs complex lace lacy patterns where stitch markers are helpful.

A needle valve is a type of valve having a small port and a screw thread threaded , needle shaped plunger. It allows wikt precision precise regulation of Fluid dynamics flow , although it is generally only capable of relatively low flow rates. Construction and operation A needle valve has a relatively small orifice with a long, tapered seat, and a needle shaped plunger, on the end of a screw, which exactly fits this seat. As the screw is turned and the plunger retracted, flow between the seat and the plunger is possible however, until the plunger is completely retracted the fluid flow is significantly impeded. Since it takes many turns of the fine threaded screw to retract the plunger, precise regulation of the flow rate is possible. The virtue of the needle valve is from the vernier effect of the ratio between the needle s length and its diameter, or the difference in diameter between needle and seat.

Located in the Superstition Mountains east of Phoenix, Arizona , Weaver s Needle was created when a thick layer of tuff fused volcanic ash was heavily eroded, creating the spire as an erosional remnant with a summit elevation of 4553 ft. It is set in a desert landscape of cactus and mesquite bush, with large Saguaro cacti particularly prominent. The peak was named after mountain man Pauline Weaver . Weaver s Needle has played a significant role in the stories of the Lost Dutchman s Gold Mine . The Needle s shadow reportedly indicates the location of a rich vein of gold, and many treasure hunters have searched for it. The hunt for gold around Weaver s Needle has been pursued by hundreds possibly thousands of people. Weaver s Needle has a large split in the side that makes it look like it has two tops, not one. This can only be viewed from the side.

File Thomas Bresson Ice12 by .jpg thumb Needle ice pushing up soil particles File Frost column 2.jpg thumb Packed needle ice Needle ice is a phenomenon that occurs when the temperature of the soil is above convert 0 C F and the surface temperature of the air is below convert 0 C F . The subterranean liquid water is brought to the surface via capillary action , where it freezes and contributes to a growing needle like ice column. The ice needles are typically a few centimetres long. While growing, they may lift or push away small soil particles. On sloped surfaces, needle ice may be a factor contributing to soil creep . ref name isbell Isbell, D. http epod.usra.edu archive epodviewer.php3?oid 254144 Needle Ice on Mt.
