Better flowers December 21, 2007
I found a different flower pattern that has a very similar feel to yesterday’s (at a glance it looks almost exactly the same), but is easier to knit, and I like the over all look of it better. I knit several repeats of this new pattern late yesterday, then pulled it all out and knit the rows again, adding an additional stitch between the last flower and the edge. It works better, and I’m much happier with it.
The light is horrible, so it’s really hard to see those knit flowers on the left. Sigh. Well, they’re there. Really!
Oh, and something else that I’ve been working on—totally exciting, at least I think so—The Loopy Ewe is going to start carrying a few of my patterns (not that I have a lot of them)! They’re off getting printed. I hope to be able to mail them to her late next week, or early the first week of January. If you’re in the market for pre-printed patterns, keep an eye out. I’ll let you know when she has them in her store.![]()
I got another newsletter from Berroco early this morning. This one has a free pattern for a knit star for the top of your tree, Celestine. It’s a fun-looking geometric puzzle. Looks a little heavy for the top of most trees, but perhaps if a very lightweight yarn were used… Or maybe a gold or silver metallic yarn to make a star that sparkles.
That’s it for me today. Dave just left to pick up a computer then go to an office Christmas party, run errands, that sort of thing. That leaves me the morning for running my own last minute errands, wrapping packages… You know. Have a great weekend!
