another pattern!

Posted in Guestbook at 2:09 am by mmb

Just found your blog b/c I’m trying to trace apattern.

stery lace 

Have you seen this pattern at masondixonknitting archives “mysterylace”? It is in the Jan 13, 2008 blog posting. It is a picture of a friend’s curtain. Beautiful. I hope to knit this and am trying to figure it out…

I know what happens, just not how to accomplish it:

-pattern is garter, they say,

-repeat is only four stitches long,

-repeat is nine rows deep,

-every other column is plain knit stitch,

-the other columns are the same pattern, but offset by 4 rows. This pattern consists of a plain stitch for 5 rows. On the 6th row, the 5 previous rows are knit into/under/deep-stitched/ pulled up so that a flower is formed. On the next row, the stitch directly above the loop holding up the flower is twisted. The row above that one is plain knit stitch, and then the pattern starts again.

_so, the chart would be :

columns 1 and 3: knit all stitches

columns 2 and 4: knit a pattern of 5 plain rows, pull up all the stitches into one stitch, twist the stitch in the next row above it, knit a plain stitch in the row above that, and then begin the repeat again.

How could I do this w/o having all the stitches fall off my needles???

 

any ideas?

Enjoy!

increasing before and after markers on circular needles

Posted in Guestbook at 4:58 pm by sunny77

I have a raglan sweater pattern that I am knitting from the top down ( sweater pattern generator)

I have knitted the collar but  it says at each side of marker, increase 1 st by knitting into the front and back of the st..

I have 4 markers - one  for the sleeves, one for the back, one for the other sleeve and one for the front, so by increasing into the back and front of each st. that would make an increase of 8 sts..

Does it matter which marker you start to increase at?

 

Awaiting your reply,
