Sweet! Thank you for this.
ReplyDeleteTHANKS...just looking for the first one of the year's worth that I am planning on sending out monthly to Mom and MIL this year and here it is. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteThanks
ReplyDeletelooks very interesting to make & not to hard
ReplyDeleteso cool never seen this before
ReplyDeletegoing to knit a few of these thanks
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI like the pattern but I don't understand what you mean by knit the odd rows. Do you mean knit the whole way on the back then the pattern on the rs or what? I'm still learning as a knitter. Thank you for the help.
ReplyDeleteHi there! Sorry for the enormous delay in response...we've been battling the stomach flu at our house and I had my wisdom teeth out earlier this month....YIKES!
DeleteBut thank you very much to the person who commented below -- spot on! After you cast on, knit Row 1. Follow the pattern for all the even rows (2, 4, 6, etc) and knit all the stitches on the odd rows (3, 5, 7, etc). Happy knitting!
I love this idea, but when I made it, my numbers don't "pop" out as they should; any ideas? Maybe tighter knitting would help? I'd like to figure out what the problem is because I see you have so many other "theme" patterns - so cute!!
Deletethanks
A big thing would be needle size. The smaller the needle, the better the design stands out, which is why I use US#3. Also, try to keep your tension even as you are switching between knitting a stitch, then purling. I think the blocking process also helps out a ton! I'll be posting on that later this week. Hope this helps!
DeleteHmmmmmm.....needles were size 2...hmmmm, I'm gonna try another one and see. And I look forward to the blocking info. Thank you!!
Deletean odd row is rows 1,3, 5 etc as opposed to even row which would be 2,4, 6
ReplyDeleteLove your dishcloth patterns. I keep a small knitting bag in the car for when I have a few extra minutes to knit while waiting. I live in Milton, Wisconsin.
ReplyDeletehi i am making an afghan for my grdson to go to college and it is made with panels. so far, i have two 48 st. panels with large cables. in the center i want to put his initials and the year 2012. i started one with white background and black #s and i am not a bobbin knitter dont know how to get back neat so i am now going to make everything letters and background in white.i see you make cloths with letters if i follow your instructions will my letters be on the right sid3e of the afghan? and then i want to put in his initials a j p or just a p according to my cable panels i have 319 rows. (big boy) i appreciate any help you can give me. thanks so much and have a good day.
ReplyDeleteWow, sounds like quite a project! =) The instructions for the 2012 cloth are written from left to right, as you are looking at the right side of the finished cloth. The SNOW cloth is written the same way, if you are looking for an example with letters. If you chart your own "J P" letters, read the chart left to right, knitting all stitches on the right side and creating the letters on the wrong side. I hope that makes sense!? Let me know if this doesn't help and I'll try to explain it better. Good luck!
