The Jaywalkers, now completed

Small Lace Bag [corrections added]

My newest pattern! Shh! It's for SP12. I'm hoping that she doesn't spot it, otherwise I'm done!

The stitch pattern for the lace is taken directly from the Big Book of Knitting Stitch Patterns

To make up:
Seam sides of bag.
Thread a length of ribbon through the eyelets in a manner which pleases you.
Pop some cedar balls in to protect your stash!
If you wanted to use lavender instead, I’d recommend lining the bag.

Manly Sweater, done.

Manly Sweater, started back in December 2007. Originally I was going to give it to OH for his birthday (February!)

It's finished now though, and it looks great. I'm really pleased with it!

Ankh Socks

Yes folks, it's my first real live self-designed pattern!




[update]

The Download for the Ankh Socks is now available on Ravelry! (If you’re a knitter or crocheter and you’re not a member, go sign up! It’s well worth it)

So, if you’d like the pattern, click here (I hope!).





Please note, this pattern is designed to be a bit slouchy, due to the cotton content of the yarn I used. If you want it to be a bit tighter you might want to adjust it slightly.

I hope to knit another version a bit tighter in a plain yarn, so watch this space!


Errata:

lines 6 and 16 of the pattern state:

*k6, p1* repeat

but should state

*k5, p1* repeat



If I figure out how I made the pdf and how to upload a new one then I'll fix it in there too, but in the meantime it will have to remain as is.
