I've actually managed to complete two projects today. This is a poncho knitted from double yarn with lots of pattern and braiding. It lacked buttons, but got them today: This sweater is knitted in double three-thread alpaca yarn. It's very light weight and soft, and easy to knit. Your typical TV-craft: Now I have to get those hall lights up before somebody knocks me on the head with them.
Oh, Droopy I love the poncho and sweater. Is the poncho a commercial pattern? If so, is there a chance I can find it online somewhere?
Thank you Glenda. Yes it is, but from Sandnes Ullvare, which is Norwegian. Link: http://www.sandnesgarn.no/Hjem.aspx They sell their booklets with patterns at their distributors' and I don't think they put patterns online. I can't even buy the booklets without also buying the yarn for one of the projects in there.
I found a yarn shop not too far from here that carries their yarn and patterns. I feel a "road trip" coming on some day, maybe tomorrow There is a distributor in the U.S. but their website is slow and has several broken links. Not good for anyone's business. If I can't find a copy of your pattern, I will use my measurements and make my own. I loved doing cables years ago, but haven't tried them since I went back to knitting a couple of years ago.
Very nice droopy, i love the poncho, i love the style of the sweater. both look very very nice,, an congrates on ending 2 of your UFO's. (I still envy the knitting)
Biita, you're so good at so much, you can't be good at everything! Netty, I put mine on the sofa, and we're going to need it soon, so I had to.
Thank you. It's never too late to learn DaphDaph. I don't crochet much now. My next crocheting project will be a shawl. I think.
Well I admit that I can't knit for toffee but I certainly can admire work like yours Droopy. I love the poncho and the sweater looks great with its contrasting colours.
Very nice work Droopy! Daph there are online tutorial videos. heres knitting-> http://www.knittinghelp.com/
Thank you all. I've started a similar sweater for the middle girl now. TV-knitting, just smooth and around and around.
