I haven't posted anything for awhile because I have been just knitting bags. Bags and bags and bags. I can't believe how well they are selling. Here are some of the bags I have completed lately.
Now I have to get back to my needles and bags.
Adventures in Knitting in the Colorado Foothills (with two little kitty cats)
I haven't posted anything for awhile because I have been just knitting bags. Bags and bags and bags. I can't believe how well they are selling. Here are some of the bags I have completed lately.
Now I have to get back to my needles and bags.
I use size 5 needle. I add two stitches on each side and two rows on the top and bottom and knit those in a contrasting color. Probably going to have make a few more of these. The chart is 30 stitches (the green area) so add four stitches for a total of 34 stitches.
One of my favorite patterns is Alaska by Camille Descoteaux. It is actually a hat pattern, but I modified it to make a potholder. It is a paid pattern, but worth every cent! I have made a couple of hats as well. I took the chart and selected a set of trees. I repeated the small tree on each side. I gave this one to my sister-in-law and she just loves it.
This is made in double knitting so the other side is a negative of the other side. This pattern seems appropriate because we had 12 inches of snow here in the Rockies this past weekend.

Truthfully, I am not a fan of bugs, but ladybugs don't really fall into the 'dislike insects' category (butterflies and dragonflies fall into that too). I would not have made this potholder either but I have a friend who wanted a ladybug potholder. It was really a fun one to do and I might even make another one. Just don't ask me to make a spider.
The pattern is double knitting, but I used Daisy and Storm's pattern as a base and modified it a bit. The link is https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ladybug-square-4.
