I'll link to the pattern once I decide. I'm also in the midst of a baby boom, I have FOUR baby blankets to do before the end of the year, and TWO are due in October. YIKES! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-knitters#post-209104 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 18:20:55 +0000 chewyspaghetti 209104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Feel free to do a crochet project or a different knitting project, too.<br /> Here's a pic of my scarf after the first full pattern repeat.<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chewyspaghetti/4949122538/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/c.....949122538/</a><br /> I managed to fix my mistake, so I am off again. I will probably be working on this tonight as I sit at the dance studio for dd's classes (and at the park tomorrow). It's really a fun pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-knitters#post-209098 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 17:55:52 +0000 Jen 209098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a crocheter, and I just finished a cute drapey cardigan that I need to post pics of so I can get some help styling it. I envy you knitters though, I just can't get that beautiful drapey solid fabric - I have to use lacey stitches. Nice, but not always what I'm looking for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-knitters#post-209095 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 17:51:29 +0000 chewyspaghetti 209095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly- yours turned out gorgeous!<br /> I messed up the pattern, and now I am having to rip back<br /> grrrr...<br /> or rather ribbit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-knitters#post-208915 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 11:19:53 +0000 bj1111 208915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>mumtojessandluke</p> <p>try <a href="http://www.knittinghelp.com/videos/knitting-glossary" rel="nofollow">http://www.knittinghelp.com/vi.....g-glossary</a></p> <p>there are short videos illustrating many of the common stitches including the ones in the scarf pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-knitters#post-208914 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 10:26:22 +0000 mumtojessandluke 208914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Darn! I'd love to but it does look a little complicated for this first time knitter... any chance you could post a few pics of how to start the first bit? I'm unsure how to double over the needles iygwim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-knitters#post-208609 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 18:39:00 +0000 Cathy G 208609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sure is tempting. I'd like to knit it but later in September. Hope you'll share your project with us! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-knitters#post-208597 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 18:16:48 +0000 rute 208597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! Good luck! Sorry but no kniting skills here.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-knitters#post-208527 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 16:07:08 +0000 Kate 208527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lynne, I don't knit socks! However now that I'm in AZ I don't knit much of anything - I gave most of my bulky scarves to my sister so they can get some use. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-knitters#post-208514 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 15:51:17 +0000 Veronica 208514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>very nice scarf pattern, I don't knit but I can crochetalong a scarf pattern I have been eyeing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-knitters#post-208504 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 15:41:15 +0000 lynne 208504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in. I just bought yarn for 2 baby blankets, but I'll look around for yarn for this. Am I the only knitter who doesn't knit socks? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-knitters#post-208502 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 15:38:40 +0000 kellygirl 208502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your wish is my command, Khris. Here's my finished Lace Ribbon. It was a teacher gift last year or the year before. It's a great portable project and more fun than socks (IMHO.)</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/53433481@N00/4189148674/in/set-72157624848904196/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/5.....848904196/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-knitters#post-208491 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 15:21:31 +0000 Barbara 208491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dang, chewy, you have some mad knitting skills if you can tackle that! I definitely crochet more skillfully than I knit. I just bought some lovely indigo/turquoise variegated wool blend yarn at Joanne's yesterday and plan to start designing a scarf. This yarn has some gold flecks so I'll edge it with matching eyelash yarn. Happy knitting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-knitters#post-208489 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 15:16:05 +0000 chewyspaghetti 208489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly- do you have a pic of your finished scarf? It would inspire us :)</p> <p>Kate and bj- one of the nice things about scarves is that you can substitute a different weight yarn. You will just end up with a wider scarf (or you can do less repeats).</p> <p>MPJ- my printer is out of ink, so I just wrote the pattern out. It's fairly sihort.</p> <p>I got through a whole pattern repeat yesterday, and I can see how it will look. I'm starting to memorize the pattern already, and am taking it to my son's doctor's appointment today to have something to do while waiting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-knitters#post-208479 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 14:57:10 +0000 kellygirl 208479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I made this awhile ago and it's very nice! I'll be here to cheer you on and ooh and ahh at all the finished objects. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-knitters#post-208351 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 04:22:49 +0000 Kate 208351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>knitty is my favorite, and a knit along would be great! I need to search my stash before I can commit for sure... I'm trying not to buy any new yarn until I've used up at least some of what I already have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-knitters#post-208176 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 00:56:05 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 208176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Argh - foiled by Knitty...I can't print out the stupid pattern...will have to try again tomorrow when feeling more clear-headed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-knitters#post-208173 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 00:53:16 +0000 bj1111 208173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hey, khris, i'm still a bit leery of sock yarn or fingering yarn. </p> <p>i'll knit along by finishing the baggy bolero and starting either this <a href="http://www.vogueknitting.com/free_patterns/oversized_cable_pullover.aspx">drapey cable sweater with a turtleneck</a> (although without the sleeves, still scared of sleeves) or this <a href="http://www.vogueknitting.com/free_patterns/basketweave_cape.aspx">basketweave poncho</a> totally cool!</p> <p>i'm just hoping i can finish in time to use them this season.</p> <p>ps: both those patterns are free through vogueknitting.com and are from their 25th anniversary edition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-knitters#post-208167 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 00:43:28 +0000 Cookie 208167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chewy - may I just say that I am so jealous of your talent! And if you weren't so kind and funny I might find it hard to like you with all of these posts of "what I created"! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-knitters#post-208113 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 23:54:56 +0000 chewyspaghetti 208113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My knitting speed depends on a lot of variables, but we don't have to have a timeline or keep up with each other. I actually started this a couple of times before I really got going. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-knitters#post-208104 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 23:50:54 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 208104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, FUN. And something to make me get off the computer and get creative! How fast do you knit though? This may take me a few days just to get started!</p> <p>ETA Off to print out pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-knitters#post-208096 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 23:40:08 +0000 chewyspaghetti 208096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just started knitting this fun little lace scarf,</p> <p><a href="http://knitty.com/ISSUEspring08/PATTlaceribbon.html" rel="nofollow">http://knitty.com/ISSUEspring0.....ibbon.html</a></p> <p> and I wanted to see if anyone was interested in joining me? It's a great way to use up some pretty sockyarn that you don't want to hide under your boots. </p>
