Scarves to Vests


Week 5 = Cataloging Patterns
Day 3 = January 31, 2014

     When looking through my patterns, I have found a huge variety and a long list of ideas that have come from these fabulous patterns and talented designers. To continue where we left off yesterday, I will be showing you patterns from Scarves to Vests.

Scarf
Un-Biased Scarf by Cheryl Beckerich
Un-Biased Scarf
This pattern was eye catching. The combination of colors and diagonal slant makes it a mind bending pattern.

Shawl
I have 3 hanks of red/black Mink and am going to do this shawl. I love in the patterns direction that the designer said the real name of this piece is “To ______ With Love” meaning the name of whoever the shawl is being made for gets put in the blank. So I will be making “To Me With Love.”

Shrug
Chickadee Shrug by Tanis Gray
I am fascinated by shrugs. I have several patterns that are long and short-sleeved. A shrug could be very handy to have for a little coverage on a spring evening.

Slippers
Cozy Cosette Footsies by Julie O’Neil
These slippers look so warm and toastie. I like the pattern on the top of the foot. It is very intriguing.

Socks
I have just learned how to knit socks. Knitting with 2 colors is a dream of mine. I will get there one day.

Sweater
Covington by Melissa Leapman
I love Melissa Leapman and this pattern. My mom and I both saw this pattern at the Stitches East Conference last year and fell in love with it right away. I absolutely love V-neck sweaters and have had problems finding open neck patterns.

Top
Chain Letter by Sandi Rosner

This top is very appealing because of the textured green and blue design. It's a perfect example of how to add depth to a pattern.

Toys
The Parlor Cat by Sara Kellner
The Parlor Cat Pattern  
One of these days I am going to make this for my mother-in-law. She doesn't even know how to turn on a computer so I can freely list any and all projects meant for her. She and her husband have about 8 cats so this would be a welcome addition without the added labor.

Vest
Sexy Vesty by Theresa Gregorio

 When I lose 50 pounds, I will make and wear this vest. I love the diamond pattern on the front and again the V-neck.

     So this concludes the patterns on my computer. Tomorrow I will pull out my 3-ring binder and show you what treasures I have there.


Question of the Day
Which of these patterns are you most inspired to knit?
