Do you know this cat?

Do you know this cat? I saw him/her near Rider College. I hope this sweet cat finds it's way home soon. The poor thing seems friendly yet lost & frightened.

More Patterns

I recently made a blanket, but was unpleased with the size. I, in the end, frogged the whole thing, but before I did that I wrote out the pattern and have it on Ravelry as a free download. http://www.ravelry.com/dl/audrey-bochantin-designs/19340?filename=Canterbury_Baby_Blanket.pdf

While I felt the pattern was simple, many others (90 on the first day available) thought it was good enough to download. Now I've come to the conclusion that I don't know what people want when looking to knit something. With that said I made a poll at the bottom of this page asking you to pick the type of knitting pattern you would like to see from me. Voting ends on 5/10/09. Thanks for your help!

(please note there is no clothing option. sorry but I've yet to master that one)

Flat knit socks (Basic Pattern Idea)

These socks are made on two standard straight needles. (I used us size1)



After finding your gauge, cast on a multiple of 4 +2; to meet your size.


Leg:
r1- k2, p2, to end
r2- slip 1, knit the knits and purl the purls
r3- repeat from row 2 till leg length is reached

Ankle: stockinet for 1/4 to 1 inch (Depending on size of the wearer) slipping the first stitch of eack row.

Heel: short row shape on half of the total number of stitches (left or right, your choice) til you have 1/4 the total number of stitches left unworked. finish the short row shaping.

Foot: continue as ankle portion for the length of foot.

Toe: short row shape on half of the total number of stitches (same side as when you did the heel) til you have 1/4 the total number of stitches left unworked. finish the short row shaping.

finishing: kitchener the toe and mattress stitch the side.

This base pattern will work on any size foot.
