My First Contribution…
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. 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, 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. 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!
