Pat's Projects

My notes on knitting this jacket for my daughter are here.

knit in Cotton Patiné and modeled by granddaughter Faith, age 8.

got tired of waiting for the right colors of yarn to come in, so used the colors currently in stock. Knit in Jamieson Chunky. I did use less yarn than pattern called for ... 2 skeins of 3 colors, and 1 each of the other colors. Only made one color change, replacing the cedar with one of the marl colors.

from current issue of Knitters in Kureyon #124. Interesting to knit, came out smaller than I expected, had tried to enlarge and it came out to 44"??

knit in Kochoran

knit in Chunky Nature Wool.

knit in Silk Garden #65. I added a little bit to make it longer.

in different colorway, yarns left over from another project bombed and decided to use them in this jacket...fun and quick to knit.

knit in heather merino. Took 7 balls in the x-large size.

worked in Jamieson DK yarn. Largest size took 4 main color and one contrast color.

from Sally Melville The Knitting Experience, Book 1. Knit in Iro from Noro, with a few modifications, like the slip stitch pattern in the top, found in the book on a later pattern. I also used a modified set in sleeve to give a better line and fit to the coat. Took 10 balls in a 56" coat.

my version is knit in Noro Silk Garden. read more...

knit in Jamieson Chunky Shetland. My sweater finished out about 56" and used 7 balls of yarn.   I used a 10 needle at 3.50 stitchs per inch. read more...
