So I'm on row 102 of 414 for the baby blanket. For those of you who didn't want to bother signing up for lion brand free patterns, here's how it goes:
Use a US size 8 circular needle for this, higher gauge = bigger results if that's your fancy. You'll need about 1lb yarn with the size 8 circulars. the circular is being used to hold all the damn stitches - 207 across adds up you know!
Cast on 5 sts
Row 1: knit
Row 2: k3, yo, k2
Row 3: k3, yo, k3
Row 4: k3, yo, k to end
repeat until you have 207 sts on
Next: k2, k2tog, yo, k2tog, k to end of row.
repeat until 5 sts remain.
bind off, weave in ends.
If you don't know what the jargon means, go here and scroll down to the part that says "knitty standard book of british birds" and it will give you the lowdown.
It basically works diagonally instead of lengthwise, and the yarnover (yo) bits makes for a nice edging. It's pretty!
YAY LOLA IS COMING SOON
I caved and told the kids, but only because they are super-sleuths (aka eavesdroppers) who deducted from clues that it was her coming. I wouldn't say when though so they'll be surprised by that at least! Insert smiley face here.
Bleh, I don't wanna go to work.
