Smiling Diamonds Square Cloth

  • Jul. 4th, 2009 at 7:35 PM
I haven't posted in a month because I've been unpacking from a most stressful move and that's all I'm going to say about that.
I have been knitting though. Here is a cloth from Nightly Knitter's Lotza Stitches.
The pattern only cost $1 and is a great way to experiment with lace without a huge commitment.
I made the cloth out of Aunt Lydia's Quick Crochet Denim cotton.
I think I bought it at a thrift store or it was given to me.
It would have been much more lacy if I had used a lace-weight yarn, but I was just practicing and this is something I can actually use.
Instead of double-points called for by the pattern, I used a circular needle with the magic loop.

Move
Hi Cindy,

Sure do miss you. I, too, am recovering from a most stressful move, and still have more boxes to go. I know you will settle in, and if you come to FL for anything please let me know, so I can meet up with you.

Pretty Cloth
Looks great C! How do you avoid the issues with magic loop of the cables stressing the knitting and causing more open stitches, or sometimes a ladder?
Glad to see you are back online! - W in CO

Re: Pretty Cloth
When I make the first stitch where a ladder might occur, I always give the yarn a little extra tug to tighten the stitch on the cable part of the needle. It may look like a ladder for a few rows, but they always disappear.

Ram Loom
Hello nice to meet you.

I was out at my cousin's farm today playing with my horse and then feeding the farm cats, when I threw the cans away found a Ram Loom in the trash.

I couldn't believe it! His wife had just thrown it away.

It is now in my living room, safe and will be cherished.

I'm delighted that you posted the picture of your loom on your site.

Would it be possible for you to send me copies of the instructions?

I live in the States but have a friend who has a Canadian Post Box and you could send it there is that would be more convenient for you.

I can be emailed at luna2@nemont.net.

Thanks so much.
