Wave hello to our good friend James folks. He knits so beautifully and has been such a long time supporter of us here at Bridge and Beyond. Thank you James for your thoughtful donation, and for your on going support.......all the way from California, The Golden Gate Bridge State. We sure appreciate it.
James knitted 4 hats, a cute pair of slippers, 4 pairs of mittens and a darling little mitered square afghan. The afghan will be so appreciated by some little boy. Hey Jim, I loved how a couple of cotton washcloths came out using the mitered square method. How did you figure out how many to cast on? Did you wing it, or have a pattern?

ReplyDeleteThanks! The cotton washcloths are just a cast on of 3 sts, then you do the increases on either side of the center st. This pattern is so easy I was able to teach my mother to do it. ^.~
ReplyDeleteThank you all. I used Teresa Richardson's "adult slipper' pattern and her tutorial on You Tube.
ReplyDeleteThis is the written pattern.
