Mez Handarbeitsvorlage 7008

Doily Knitted in 2004 by Doris Gibbons – 1936-2006

I recharted this pattern in 2004 but somehow forgot to add it to this blog. I was reminded when someone asked me about it. Since it is six-sided, I may try to make a Manifold Cardigan out of it, after the current backlog of projects! ;-)

Last Day of Fall 2022 Sale – 50% Discount All Patterns – Herbstblume Added

Beyer Strickschrfit 70635/16 – “Herbstblume” (“Fall Flower”)

Another Niebling with “basketweave” mesh, recharted using two versions of the original charts: the Beyer chart from 1959 and the Burda Special E 418 chart from 1996. There were minor errors in both charts! There was also one semi-significant difference on Round 191: after the first three stitches, the original (Beyer) version reads “p7, k21, p7, k5tog, p7, k21, p7” but is replaced in the Burda version with just “p35, k5tog, p35”. Don’t know which to suggest, so I included both. Finally, “purl 1 through back loop – in running thread” looks to be a bit of a challenge (there are quite a few of them, but only spread across 8 pattern rounds). Since I haven’t tried the stitch yet, am guessing it will help to rotate the left needle towards the body to make it easier to get to the back strand of the stitch. Will post if it doesn’t help, and feel free to comment with advice.

Happy Halloween All!

Fall Sale Ends Midnite 10/31/22 – Kastanienblatt Added

Doily in Photo Knitted by RavelryID Ulla

The issue of Neue Mode Kunststricken is not the most interesting, though there are some nice borders not seen elsewhere. But decided to rechart this one (“Kastanienblatt” means “Chestnut Leaf”) after seeing a much nicer photo than the one in the original publication. Also, below is a triptych I made in order to show the twisted stitches forming the inner blossoms of the design; haven’t seen it anywhere else.

Playing around in Photoshop. Note the twist stitch texture on the blossom

Maiblumen (Mayflower)

Knitted by RavelryID Ulla777

Unlike most of Niebling’s oval doilies, this one is knitted in one piece, that is, there are no extensions added at opposite sides of the center. Also, if the center is worked in two separate halves and then joined where the first center leaves end, it might make a nice poncho, or sleeves could be added at the sides extending from the second set of leaves! ;-)

Erikas 80 – Kunstgestrickte Kostbarkeiten – Pattern 9 – Rosenblatt – Doily in Above Photo Knitted By Marie Shanley

Someone asked for a translation of the text of this pattern, but when I went to copy the original text, I realized how much my recharting habits have changed since 2006! The alignment of stitches in my original rechart was exactly the same as the source publication. However, therein the stitches are aligned to resemble the shape of the finished cloth rather than how the pattern is actually knit, so… I reformatted it, added stitch counts and written instructions. However, I couldn’t figure out where to include the above photo, sorry, Marie! I will include it in the Gallery that is still a work in progress.

Strahlenblume and Star Flower

The first pattern is one of two that I literally forgot I had!!! The other one I forgot is Steinrose, which hopefully will get published in the coming months. The Star Flower is part of my baby blanket series, and is the least interesting one, but is still pretty interesting in that it begs to be knitted with different colors. I just can’t decide on a specific combination for more than five minutes. I did not include instructions for borders worked in i-cord or picot hem bind off. However, am sure there are plenty of resources on the interweb.
