Sock Monkeys Attack!

I had something fun happen to me at my last "class" at Jitterz in Kenton.

What classes did they want me to teach in the fall? They wanted me to teach a Sock Monkey Class.  Ew. Did you know there is an entire website dedicated to knitted sock monkeys?

Gasp! Did you catch all the things I said?

I bet you can come up with lots and lots of monkey references.  Leave a comment in the blog post. Perhaps the best comment wins a prize? Perhaps. Post by August 22, 2010. Random Number generator selects winner.

Flower Basket Shawl Lace Class

Hi,
I wanted to offer some clarification on chart two of the Flower Basket Shawl. I wasn't clear on chart two. In the written instructions, there are details on the number of repeats that need to be repeated for chart to to create a shawl in the suggested size. You will repeat all the rows for chart two multiple times before moving to chart three.



I suggest that you place a lifeline each time you complete a chart. Here's a video that goes into more details. You can also use a tapestry needle and thread through with a contrasting colored yarn on the last row of the pattern repeat. The last row of chart 2 (row 34) will always end with the K2, P to last 2 sts, K2.

This video is for the provisional cast-on as described in the pattern.
See you on Monday!
