I am new to the Knitting Guild...it is wonderful. Anyway, I am on Level #1, Swatch #6. I am unfamiliar with "lifted increases".. Can you all point me to a good instruction resource on how to do this increase ...thanks so much

Bonnie,
Welcome to the best knitting related board there is! Do you have the Vogue Knitting Ultimate Knitting Book? It's a really good reference book to have. Page 38 has lifted increases. Have you tried googling "lifted increases"?

Montse Stanley's book also shows lifted increases, but I can't remember the page number and I don't have it handy. The book is called Knitter's Handbook and I found it invaluable, along with Vogue's book for working through Level 1.
You might want to look in the Masters Forum, a bit further down the main page. I'm sure there are posts regarding lifted increases in there.

Here is a link to a website that shows you how to do the lifted increase:

Thanks to all, I did find what I needed....
On to swatch #15...

Hi,

It sounds like you found what you needed. I have one more resource that I have found more helpful than those mentioned.

The Knitters Book of Finishing Techniques
by Nancie M. Wiseman

Just in case you are interested this is a wonderful resource with great pros and cons of each technique and photos.

Best of luck!
