Wednesday 13 September 2017

Today is a 6” my own pattern square again

but finished off for my next scarf Shawl with collar the first of 36 I’ll need. I used 2 strands of black DK to crochet round it. This will make the edges nice and even and link up all the different patterned squares. I’ll do the collar in black too.

Wednesday 2 August 2017

Today is some knitting practice

My first go at a colour slip stitch pattern, Aster Flower stitch. After 2 false starts I managed it fairly easily, I found the vid to do it on You Tube. My first false start was forgetting how to cast on after 2 years of not knitting I did worry I might be rusty. 2nd false start was using wrong colour on 2nd row. But finally managed it. I'm gonna make a new needle caddy for my first go probably in fairisle and using the bottom of my large water bottle to line the bottom.

Wednesday 26 July 2017

I know its similar to the others but I wanted to use these big beads first before I went mad on other back patterns., Next one will be completely different. I did make this one with an ant type thorax. No back done yet as I ran out of time so next ones won't have fancy back but just the words as the others have.
