Had some fun drawing kitten mittens on stitchfiddle.

Formal request for knitting chart makers to include numbers for blocks of one colour/stitch longer than 5

I forgot to post my finished gloves! Selbu style mittens I cobbled together myself with leftover patons kroy socks yarn :-) These are made in linen and black colorways because I couldn't find white when I bought the yarn.

Hard to photograph but I managed to continue the palm pattern into the back of the thumb >:-) muahahaah.

Definitely feel like I've leveled up as a knitter because the combination of a knit gusset AND like 10 fucking stitches casted on over the loop (and then decreasing half of those later), one fucked up practice mitten I had to undo, combining these motifs in a way that fit my glove base (which I also had to change), plus figuring out how to chart all of it including 3 drafts. The pattern's under the cut but I've never made one before so I apologize if they don't made sense.

The first pattern is blurry because it's tiny in ms paint. Zoom in or open it there and turn on the grid. I'm like 90% certain that grey part in the middle where you decrease some of the stitches is supposed to go up to the top and there's Maybe a row missing Somewhere where the ribbing comes before a CC line but I can't fucking tell right now lmaoo. Have fun everyone and hope you enjoy.

The perils of not keeping a stash mean that sometimes, while waiting for yarn to arrive, I turn to charting and tinkering with old patterns because I'd like to listen to/watch something, but need a project to keep my hands busy.

This is #30, "Lace for Collar Band" from The Rose Lace Knitting Book, by M. Hargrave, from 1889.

The chart is translated from the directions in the book. I isolated the motif - that's the section outlined in blue - so it can be worked on its own, or added into other projects. (I kinda want to see if I can't mirror it and make it into an alternating repeat but my yarn came three days early, so I'm sharing what I've got so far before I go play with the new stuff)

For the full width: Cast on 35. Knit one row, then work chart

for the isolated motif: CO 19. knit one row, only work the section of the chart that is outlined in blue

*usually I do a CDD/s2kp, but for this one I'm using sk2p. Either will work just fine. *any k2tog on a WS row is still a k2tog. *weird stitch I don't know if there's a name for: k2tog twice, then draw one over the other. *knits up upside down - the top of the rose is the first row.

I made this knitting chart/pattern for Bill!

(He’s bald rn but I’m hoping to change that soon)

Free to use for anyone, but please credit me if you do :>

Took 3 failed attempts but finally satisfied with this chart I drew up for some yarn I got from an estate sale. Gonna make me a doubleknit scarf that makes me smell pineapple and jasmine.

Apropos of nothing, I found this fingerless mitt knitting pattern I drafted a few years ago and figured I may as well share it? The colourwork motifs can be applied to any pattern base, I wouldn't recommend knitting this exactly as written anyway as they aren't a great fit. I was a bit lazy about drafting the mitts themselves. But! The pattern is fun.

Finished socks!  I wanted autumn appropriate socks for myself, and this is the result. I'm very happy with the fit and pattern.

I don't like knitting colorwork very much, but I finally figured out how to comfortably hold both strands in one hand, which is great.

Feel free to use the colorwork pattern for your own projects!

Had to make a last minute mitten pair for a Holiday gift. Would anyone be interested in the pattern?

[rainbowspoopingunicorns]

Had to make this for a friend because I couldn't find one anywhere on the internet, and figured I should share. So here, have a SasuNaru symbol pattern. I hope you enjoy.

Here's the chart!

The bobble instructions ended up too long and it wouldn't let me add them, so I'll put them here instead:

MB5(7): Knit into the stitch, but don’t pull off of the left needle. YO + knit into the same stitch 2(3) times (you should have 5(7) stitches for the bobble). Drop the worked st from the left needle. Turn the work, purl 5(7). Turn, knit 5(7). Repeat the last two rows one more time. To finish the bobble, pass the second st on the right needle over the first st 4(6) times. This will produce a tilted bobble. Press the center inward to form the pupil.

This is my first time making a chart that isn't for my own use, so please do let me know if I've made any errors or if something needs clarification!

Prototype Eye Cables!!

I think this one's my favourite

Yowza! I'm sort of glad that I borked my blog formatting when I changed the layout because I'm realizing that there's so much stuff my goldfish brain forgot to share! I AM UPDATING ALL THE THINGS!

The leg of my Dither socks! Having fun doing some subtle stranded colourwork

Rough pattern: in the green, cast on a multiple of 14, join in the round. Knit for a while.

Switch to your white/yellow: knit five rows. Switch to your red: knit seven rows.

Then do the chart. Good luck with the parts where you’re dealing with three colors at once.

The reverse that (seven rows red, five rows white, yellow, green for… a while.

Repeat until it’s the length you want. If going for a cowl, do some sort of invisible join (like Kitchener stitch).

Finally finished this beast. Not happy with Past Me for thinking I’d be able to keep decent tension while wrangling three different colors of yarn, but overall very happy with how it turned out.
