Cabled Pullover Progress Report

The initial sample is coming along.  I have started working the sleeves.  The pattern will likely be a little simpler to accommodate the sizes.

It does help that it is the only project on my needles at the present time.  When I finish the initial sample then I can sit down and start writing the pattern while knitting another sample concentrating on each section with details for the changes in the sizes.  Not sure yet, how many sizes, hopefully  2 - 12 yrs.

MommaBearKnits on into the night and continues in the morning.

Progress Report

Progress:  I have worked past the underarm and started working the body.  Still a lot of work as this is the first sample, still have to write the pattern in detail allowing for all sizes.  A lot of work ahead but I love knitting and designing for babies and toddlers.

Front View

I am now working on the body in the round.  Yes it is multidirectional, but also goes Round & Round.

Back View

This sample has a cable running down the side where there is usually a seam, oh yeah, no seams in my work!!  Hope I can keep it worked in the numbers for all the sizes.  We will see how that works out soon.

Side Cable, hope it stays!!!

In the meantime MommaBearKnits and Designs day and night.

Cable Pullover Progress

I am making progress.  Not sure yet how it will work for all the sizes but I think I have solved a few problems.
I LOVE MULTI-DIRECTIONAL NO-SEW KNITTING!!!!!  It is especially fun when you combine the two.

Cabled Pullover

Well I had to frog it and start over, too many cable patterns and it was a little awkward to adjust the numbers for the sizes.  I have now decided that the sizes will be 2 - 12.

Frogged this one:

Started this one:

Keep in touch, I will post the progress, I hope it won't be another frogging.
MommaBearKnits on into the night and early in the morning too.

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.

MommaBearKnits forever.

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.
