Pattern has gone to Patternfish

I changed the picture slightly, and up loaded it today.  It will likely be available on Patternfish sometime tomorrow.  I have really been honouring my pledge yesterday and today, hopefully it will keep on down the road.

Front Page of Pattern - Ready to Go

I will finish reading it for the last time today and post it by this evening.  MommaBearKnits on into the future.

Pretty Little Preemie

The Preemie pattern is ready to go.  Just need to place the pictures on the cover of the pattern, read it one more time, and then off to Patternfish.  Happy April Fool's Day.  This post is not a prank, it really is going up on Patternfish later today, so it likely will be available within 24 hours from this posting.  The pattern is in 4 sizes ranging from 4 to 7 lbs.  Tiny Preemie to a tiny full term Baby.

Cable Pullover is still on the Plate

I am working on the Cable Pullover with a Provisional Cast-on Neckband.  It is a little more difficult to write but the reason I prefer the Provisional Cast-on Neckband is that the neck is much more stretchy and does not make the child uncomfortable when being pulled over the head.  That means that you can work the neckband a little smaller to fit better when being worn.

Back View, Front is not done yet!

It is a little more complicated than No-Sew Top-Down but I love Multi-Directional No-Sew Knitting soooooo much.

Pretty Little Preemie

I am working on a Preemie Cardigan and Hat pattern.  It is almost ready to post on Patternfish.  Two more days at the most and it will be out there.  I just need to finish one more cardigan and hat and take some pictures. There are 4 sizes: 4, 5, 6 & 7 lbs.  It will fit a tiny Preemie right up to a small full term baby.  There are  three options; Lace, Garterstitch & a Garter/Seed Stitch Border. The pattern is in DK weight yarn so does not take too long to knit.

This is the last sample:

Smallest size

Pledge!!!!

I PROMISE NOT TO BE SO LAZY ABOUT POSTING.  I KNIT AND DESIGN ALL THE TIME.  WHY HAVE I FALLEN SHORT OF POSTING MY PROGRESS?????

Jayden

I am posting a new pattern today on Patternfish.  It is a Hoodie or Collared Cardigan.  It is a Worsted Weight version of Hoodie Bear which was for Preemies to 18 Months worked in DK yarn.  This one is size 2 - 12.  Its name is Jayden and works for both boys and girls.

I left it on the plate way to long, but now it is out and I am working on the Cabled Pullover for toddlers.

Still Knitting!!!!

Yes, it has been a while since I posted last.  I am still knitting.

The Cable Pullover has been set aside until I finish two patterns that are on my plate, then the Cable Pullover will take off.

All the samples (way too many) have been finish and now I just have to finish the buttons, wash the samples and photograph photograph photograph.

It is a children's version of Hoodie Bear.  It is worked in Worsted Weight yarn in sizes 2 - 12.  Like Hoodie Bear it has two options, collared or hooded. 


Hoodie Option works for Boys and for Girls

Collared Option in many sizes and colours.
I promise you and myself that it will be up on Patternfish within 1 week.

The second pattern samples are also completed and just need to be photographed.  It is a basic cardigan for ages Newborn to 3 years.

Catch Up on my Projects!!!!!

I have been playing with the sticks and string, as I always do.  I am working on a new pattern - a Cable stitch Pullover for sizes 1 - 8 Yrs.

This one has a provisional cast on for the neckband, then it is worked multidirectional from the top down.  Still, no sew knitting.  It will be a while as it is kind of complicated, it may be listed as Advanced, instead of Intermediate, not sure yet.


Of course I am still working out the final numbers and knitting more samples for the Basic Cardigan, size Newborn to 3 years.  It will be up and running real soon.


I still have to end the threads and sew on the buttons on the three to the left.  I also have other samples in my stock that are ready for photo ops.    There will be lots of options for colour and yarn.  It will be in DK weight. 




I also have socks on the sticks, these are for me, YEAH!

Next I have begun a pair of heavy warm socks, that will be donated to the local Conservation Club for draws at their upcoming Zone Meeting January 15.  They are knit in 100% wool worsted weight.  They will require careful care but boy will they be warm.


Last but not least, I have finished a pair of woollen mittens and two more Huggy Bear Cardigans for my stock.

MommaBearKnits on and on into the night!!!!!
