Baby Sweater

A while ago I filmed the creation of a baby sweater with a hood, I have now posted the pattern here. I hope you like it. Remember I do take donations to cds.studios.07@gmail.com thru paypal, if you like my patterns no amount will be turned down.

My Floppy

I am currently working on a floppy hat. I will post a photo and the pattern when it is finished.

Soft Pill Box Hat

This is my latest creation. It is a soft pill box hat. It is made by machine. If you need a pattern done with knitting needles let me know. pattern is to the right. At the end of today I will update the final version of this hat. It came out real nice. I like it. I have converted it to knitting needles so look for that if you need that instead.

Knitting Calculator - Calculate Yarn Requirements for a Variety of Projects at Jimmy Beans Wool

I thought I would share this.

Cheat Sheet

I wanted to share my Knitting Cheat Sheet with you, or at least  how you can create your own. I use a spread sheet to start, then
Col A I label rows
Col b  I label stitches
Col c I label comments

In col. a i list all the rows (or just the ones that I have to do something other than knit
col B I list what I have to do i.e. inc 1 or dec 1, or ssk (what ever the pattern calls for)
col C I list things like for left side or additional comments like change yarn, should have 23 rows etc. I will upload a blank for you.

You can find it here: Or to the right of this page under patterns.

Square on square up date

I have started uploading a video on the Square on Square. I am using Bernat Baby yarn in light blue with keyplate 2. (I did not want a tight knit). I will take a close up so you can see what I am talking about.  This is not working out as I planned, I still like it but it is more rectangles than squares. If you want squares you would need twice as many rows as you have stitches. Also I think when I do this again, I will put the boarder on after then it will all be going in the same direction. I like the stitch I'm using. I will post a photo of it when I get closer to being done.

I have finished the square on square.

the boarder I used makes it a bit mis shaped.

adjustments I would make:
1. not do the boarder as I do the afghan, I would attach it after
2. use 90 stitches and knit 180 rows for each block.
3. then add the boarder, cast on 12 stitches, using seam as you go add the afghan.

4. I would either square off the corners or miter them.

I am adjusting the pattern to match my findings.

You can use what ever strip pattern you would like, what I used on the second square was:
At row 1 start with blue
starting with :
row 17 starts with pink
row 31 starts with blue
row 37 starts with pink
row 47 starts with blue
row 57 starts with pink
row 67 starts with blue
row 77 starts with pink
row 87 starts with blue
row 95 starts with pink
row 105 starts with blue
row 115 starts with pink
row 125 starts with blue
