Blast From The Past (2007)!

The below pattern is based on the Erikas 601 Model F, but was not putblished because the slip stitch crochet along the front inner edges was too tight such that the two front inner edges below the bust puckered (straightened with pins in the below photo). Also, not shown in the photo are the two buttonholes along the left center edge, though no buttons were ever added. Later I learned to use i-cord for the edges insstead, used on the Lyra Adaption that I actually knitted (here). So will reknit the below pattern (and perhaps the additional adaptations that didn’t have the puckering problem and are shown in one of the first posts of this blog). Stay tuned!

The yarn in a worsted weight tubular cotton jersey that was custom made and no longer available. However, there are some cotton tape yarns now available, but like the cotton jersey, will require fabric glue to prevent the cut ends from unraveling.

Happy Spring Knitting All!

Halcón (Falcon) + Incomplete Experiment

Even though I haven’t decided on an adaptation, which might take awhile because I keep getting distracted by other patterns, the above pattern can be purchased by clicking here.

Was trying out a shawl with adjacent extensions for front

Plain wings was monotonous knitting so…

Might make a nice dress – Will see…

Dutch Niebling I

This pattern was named “Dutch Niebing I” because I recharted it in 2011! Life went sideways around that time such that I won’t even try to recall why the publication was put on hold. AND THUS, MY PROFUSE APOLOGIES TO ROCHELLE RIBEIRO, who test knitted the doily in the above photos. Since 2011, I haven’t been able to determine the original publisher (the pattern is not on Ravelry), but I did find it, and Les Anemones, at an auction on eBay, in two apparently separate magazines (shown in the photo below). I only downloaded the photo, since the auction had long ended (the photo is dated 2008), and no publisher information was in the description, but the photo does reveal that both magazines are in French rather than Dutch. Finally, I discovered this pattern because I was planning to rechart two more “Dutch Niebling”s, so stay tuned!

2023 New Year’s Sale Continues – 50% Discount on All Patterns – Expires Midnight 01/31/2023

“Maria” – Variation Added

Variation: “Grand Napperon Rond”
Published around 1931 in Votre Mode Numéro Spécial Trimestriel – Tricots d’Art – Auguilles et Crochet – Model Nr. 21

“Maria”
Published around 1934 in Beyer Band 288: Kunststricken Große und kleine Decken, Spitzen und Einsätze

Since the only difference between the above two patterns is the border, the first 151 rounds of Maria were copied to the Variation. The Variation border consists of 6 rounds of stockinette (with 8 single decreases per round), and finally 6 pattern rounds, for a total of 169 rounds. Thus, the Variation contains 74 fewer rounds than the 243 rounds of Maria! In recharting it, was thinking it might make a relatively quick to knit and very lovely shawl.

Federblüte – Features Another Variation of Hex Mesh

Federblute – Knitted By Ravelry ID Ulla777

Federblute – Closeup of Center

The photo above right shows the ground of the design in more detail. The mesh is made by working multiple repeats of the following starting with “knit 1 through back loop in running thread”, “in same stitch, knit 1, purl 1”, “knit 1 through back loop, yarn over twice, knit 1 through back loop”, “slip 1, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over, yarn over twice, knit 2 together”; alternate rounds are knit plain except in double yarn overs knit 1, purl 1. The person who knitted the cloth in the photos said she really enjoyed knitting it, and in fact, knitted it twice!
