About Me

I have loved knitting ever since I was a little girl.I use to make dolls cloths for my dolls just out of the top of my head...I love making socks,slippers, mittens, dishcloths etc...I love drawing & cartoons & making patterns out of them...

My Grand Mother Burhoe & My Great Aunt Marjorie McCoubrey taught me how to knit when I was a little girl...When I use to go to my Aunt Marjorie's house I would stay over night she live in the high rise across from market square & we would knit & look out her window & watch the boats...Some times we would go out on the board walk...Then we had our walks to Market Square, we would go in all the little shops & look at all the ornaments & novelties...Some times we would buy something & get a piece of fudge at the fudge stand in the center of market square... When I would go to my Gram's house I would also knit when i was there...Gram was always knitting socks, mittens & she made me a blanket witch I still have...lol It has come apart several times & she would always fix it for me...I still use it to snuggle & the kids are not allowed to use my blanket because it is so warm & cozy...lol I actually made my daughter her own blanket & I will have to make 3 more for all them to have one...My mother inlaw taught me how to follow knitting patterns. God rest her soul. She is truly missed.

I love the 80's...Especially the 80's Cartoons, tv shows, Movies etc...When ever I come upon something from the 80's I gotta have it...lol I have uploaded pictures of things I have collected over the years so far...I hope to collect more...None of my items are for sale...I am just posting them for your viewing pleasure...Enjoy

Note: Please excuse the preview. I ran out of the red yarn I was using & thought I would try the sparkle yarn(10% Metallic Thread) so that I could finish the preview but lesson learned because it makes the pattern harder to see & it does not take a good picture:(

Preventing Stockinette Stitch From Curling

When doing Stockinette Stitch it curls on the top & bottom edges.
Row1(RS):Knit
Row2(WS):Purl
 To prevent Stockinette Stitch from curling on the top & bottom edges you need to do either the garter stitch (made by knitting every row) or the seed stitch.
Seed Stitch
Row1(RS): *K1, P1; rep from * to end of row.
Row2(WS): *P1, K1; rep from * to end of row.
Rep rows 1 & 2 for desired border.

Two-Strand (Long Tail Cast On) or Knitted Cast On

Well I always hated doing the first row with the way that I was casting on so I searched youtube for Two-Strand or Long Tail Cast On. Vary easy to do but I did not know how much yarn to use so of course I got out the Knitting for dummies book & it says the tail should be approx 1 inch for every stitch plus a little extra:)
The dummies video says to measure off 3 times the width of you piece but I would go by 1 one inch method if you do not know what the width of you piece will be:)



Or you can use the slip knot method...



Then there is the Knitted cast on that I thought was easy

Bed Of Books

I still do not think I have enough books...
