My First Contribution…
October 6th, 2007
My first contribution to the LibriVox *Exercises in Knitting* project is done! I love it, and it’s tied around my head right now. The project I signed up for was just a stitch pattern, so I decided to knit it into one of my favorite knitted objects: a kerchief. I have like 5 or 6 of these things now, yeesh! Soon I will be writing up the pattern for the kerchief, and sharing on the [KnitWik](http://knitting-and.com/wiki/Main_Page). In the spirit of the project, my pattern will be released into the public domain.
You can find the instructions for this stitch pattern [on the KnitWiki here](http://knitting-and.com/wiki/Chair_Cover_11_-_Leaf_Pattern), which includes the original *Exercises in Knitting* text, and my rewrite.
Next, the baby bonnet…
*Edit: The pattern is complete and can be found [here](http://knitting-and.com/wiki/Leaf_Lace_Kerchief). I have not proofed this yet, so if anyone would like to either knit this or chart it out to make sure my instructions are correct, I would be very grateful! I’d be willing to send some stitch markers to the first person with photos of it knitted.*
I love it! If I can find suitable yarn, I’ll make one right away and send photos.
This is so pretty! I like that you decided to make a kerchief out of it. I think this is such a cool project – but I’m quite intimidated by all the sections that remain unclaimed. They all seem pretty incomprehensible! But I may still step up and claim one of them – I have to go back through them again. In any case, well done!
OMG!! I absolutely love it!! I so have to give this a go!! LOL I have relatives that would go nuts for it!!
