This past weekend was really great...learned a lot and now... it's time to apply what I learned to real life...that's the hard part!!! The projects that are underway in the pattern-writing stage are "Risotto - Made to Order", "Swinglet Cabled Cardi" and "Bella Color-Yoke Tee". These all need to be drafted, charted, have a schematic created and graded (technical term for sized)...the schematics are what's making me nervous right now. I have gotten a technical drawing package off the web but don't know how to use it yet - not being one of those twenty-somethings that can just play with new software and figure it out - yikes! I still need a test knitter for "Bella Color-Yoke Tee" if anyone wants to volunteer - bottom-up, in the round, simple shaping and colorwork...
Two projects are in the design / swatch stage: "Dragonfly Wisp Cardigan" and "Elemental Jacket" ...pictures coming soon:) These will be the first of designs completed in actually the "right" and most efficient way - NOT on the needles...this is really tough to not just take a few measurements, make a few calculations and cast on ... much self-discipline required!!! :)
Have a great day - wish me luck!
