Well, this sock adventure has taken more than one turn, and been ripped at least twice. Finally figured out what I needed to use my 2 circular needles for making the pattern I wanted. (The Jaywalker pattern found at MagKnits.com.) It makes a zig-zag pattern, and with this neat yarn that makes its own stripes, I think it comes out looking pretty cool!
This month’s knit-along on the monthlydishcloths list on YahooGroups. It’s a cute little watering can. Very fun to knit. Pattern can be found here.
This funny looking little thing is a little pot-scrubber that I “invented.” I knit it from leftover cotton yarn. It is three squares with y/o’s placed so that I could thread an icord thru to keep it folded. Each square is separated with a garter stitch (knit) row. so that it folded easily, and the last square (yellow - see below) I left off the last row so that it came out just a tiny bit shorter and would fit better as it folded to the inside.
Leaving a tail of yarn made it a little easier to thread the I-cord thru the holes too.
A closer look at the row of knit bumps between each square.
All three Squares folded.
Three squares knitted, last square (yellow) one row shorter than first two.
I used Lily Sugar ‘n Cream Yarn and size 6 (US) needles.
The squares are about 3.5 inches square.
