I tried it, and it worked fine. Here is a photo series:

Which pattern are you knitting? Mostly so I can go stalk lol.
justsewit replied to the topic Help me enjoy knitting again in the forum Fiber Club! 10 years ago

Well I started the pattern part of the dress yesterday and after two rows have already stuffed it up. I “yarn forward” ed the wrong way! So I will start again I guess. For some reason I ended up with five stitches at the end instead of three so I will use something as counters when I cast on to make sure the number of stitches is correct. Then it…[Read more]

Thanks for the thoughts and ideas. I think the basting stitch idea might work for some things. Like the punch ing a hole idea too.

I read about carbon and almost bought some, but the possibility that it might not come out is worrisome.

Hi,

I just opened up my pattern that I bought last summer at my LQS. It doesn’t seem to have the cutting layout. I would love to see it as I prepare to make this this week.

EDIT: Please ignore this! I found the cutting layout on the pattern pieces… I just hadn’t opened the pieces up yet when I was reading through the directions!

Tamara, that is exciting – and the answer of course is, “it depends.” In my most prolific (pre-kids) knitting days I could finish a hat in two days, and an adult sweater in two weeks. But I spent hours per day doing it. Now it takes me forever to finish anything – I may knit up to an hour a day when I am very smitten with a project (but I’ve…[Read more]

For someone who doesn’t usually knit and doesn’t consider herself a knitter, I have embarked on a project I hope to finish rather fast. Time will tell. But I have always wanted to have a knitted baby dress so I am making one for Chloe. I actually signed up to ravelry and that has inspired me to knit also. There is this beautiful dress I’d love to…[Read more]

That’s such a fun and pretty yarn!
Jillls replied to the topic Marking the markings–argh!! in the forum off topic 10 years ago

I think with most of the patterns I’ve tried, the dots are close enough to the edge.

A ruffler is a great piece of equipment 🙂
I’ve also recently been using elastic thread in the bobbin as a quick and easy gathering/ruffling method. I like it because I can easily stretch the gathered piece to fit.
Linda replied to the topic Marking the markings–argh!! in the forum off topic 10 years ago

Jillls- that’s interesting, I want to try that. How do you get the punch to reach markings that are not on the edge of the pattern paper???
Linda replied to the topic Help me enjoy knitting again in the forum Fiber Club! 10 years ago

Sarvi is right- I should have mentioned that. You should always block a tension square and THEN count stitches and rows. Row count is often harder to achieve to match the required gauge, so if you can’t get the row tension then go with whichever gauge gives you the correct stitch count. From your post it sounds like you know how to block, but if…[Read more]
Jillls replied to the topic Marking the markings–argh!! in the forum off topic 10 years ago

I usually do the carbon and tracing wheel thing and haven’t been left with noticeable marks. On my PDF patterns I use a hole punch to punch out dots on the pattern and then mark the dots thru the hole onto the fabric with chalk.

Finally getting around to making these again, thank you Heidi for the ruffle link! I really need to get a Ruffler!
