The pattern for these dishcloths can be found at the Yahoo! group Knitted Kitty Dishcloths. They were made using various cotton yarn in varying needle sizes.
Needle: Size 8 16inch circs and size H crochet hook
Yarn: Bernat Softee Chunky in Faded Denim 2 skeins
Seed stitch the button band for about six rounds. Crochet the straps with size H hook because I was sick of knitting by this point. :) I just need to find some pretty fabric for the lining.
Pattern can be found here.
Needles: Size 8 29" circs
Yarn: Lion Brand's Vanna White in Navy & Linen
First time working fair isle and it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. My tension was tight so the bag came out a bit lumpy. :/ Other than that, it was an easy knit and I most like will make another bag with a different yarn.
This has probably got to be the easiest fair isle pattern I've ever came across. It's not too much and it's only two colors. A perfect beginner's pattern. And it's Harry Potter, a definite plus. I'm loving it. I'm doing it it Ravenclaw colors, of course. The pattern can be found at Rosemary Waits.
So, I finally have some more FO's to post. First is Mason-Dixon's Ballband Dishcloth. I was a very easy knit and I plan to make a few more of these for gifts.
One ball each of Lily's Sugar & Cream in Midnight Magic & Hot Purple on size 7 needles.
Next is Zephyr Style's Wicked. I took such bad notes on this pullover, I'm surprised I was able to finish it. I started it in February but I put it off because the weather in Miami was way too hot to work on a sweater.
6 skeins of Lion Brand's Wool-ease in Chocolate.
Size 44"-47"
Size 8 29" circs for body
Size 8 16" circs for sleeves
Size K crochet hook for binding off.
Mods: I made the short sleeved version of Wicked instead of the long sleeved version. I used one circ for the sleeves instead of dpn's. I also added increases for my hips. Next time I'll add the increases immediately after the decreases then knit a few rows. I probably do the crossover rib instead of seed stitch to match.
This was my first sweater and the pattern was very easy to follow. It won't be my last.
I haven't been able to post any recent photos of my projects because my batteries died. But I finally did it and you can check those out on my Flickr.
I'm finally on Ravelry. I got my invite the day before my birthday so that was a nice surprise. I swear, that place so addicting. So many patterns, different takes on patterns and groups....I can stay on there all day. I'm rockcandy if anyone wants to friend me (I need more friends).
One of the first patterns I completed since being on Ravelry is this Saturday Market Bag. The pattern can be found at Magknits and the mods can be found at Disdressed. I've been looking for a nice bag to make since I'm trying to get out the habit of using plastic when I shop. This pattern was perfect. The only problem I had making this particular bag was that I made the handles to small and I hated the acrylic yarn. I'll use cotton next time.
Yarn: Red Heart Super Saver in Light Blue (I skein)
Needles: Size 15 for the body and size 10 for the handles
I'm almost finished with the Ballband Dishcloth and who knows what I'll do next. Probably finish Wicked.
