scarf pattern? ... knit, tapered, eyelet

Sorry Signe Could you send some kind of Drawing ? i couldn`t imagine what you had in mind, ? mirjam

Thanks for your responses. I'm pretty much a beginning knitter. I could probably come up with something similar but I am looking for any helps and hints. I don't have a picture as I saw it around someone's neck. It appeared to be just smooth, what I would call sweater knit, with small eyelet holes in it in a planned pattern. I was thinking that maybe it was CO with 4 or so stitches and then increased/decreased to the other end. The tiny holes have me a bit buffaloed. Thanks, Signe

Okay, I have two options for you:

1. Try Lion Brand Yarns to see if the pattern is there:

See if any of these stitches look like the pattern you remember.

Sorry -- I forgot about one other place for knitting stitches:

of luck in your endeavors. I found to be a great help to learn how to do things -- lots of videos there that you can play while you copy what the video is doing.

The small holes would just be eyelets, a k2tog, yo combination. You're probably right about the construction - CO with just a few sts and increase on both ends of the RS rows until it's the width you want, then just knit straight for the length and dec both sides till you're to the same number of sts you CO. Sweater knit is called stockinette st, btw, knit one row, purl the next and alternate.

Chris I curated an exhibition about knitted art works which i called "The Magic Wands" , because i claim, that there is no difference between a magician waving a wand saying:" Adra Kadabra!" or us `waving` our needle[s] and saying:" 2 purl , 3 knit!". mirjam

Chris If you will send me your email i can send you my Curator`s words , mirjam

I'm kind of a beginner to...well not really as I have been knitting for

40 years but in this group I am the small child in the play yard wanting to play with the big kids as there is so much talent here. I can't even knit in the round with double points or hold a yarn in the left hand and one in the right hand but Mirjam throws out a nibble or sends me a beautiful photo or two and it's enough to make me jump and I'm off trying something new. Right now I'm trying to design a dishcloth for a Christmas contest and I'm struggling with it, with every stitch and writing down the pattern but I haven't given up yet. You have to understand I have to have a pattern in front of me to knit anything and I have never knitted from a chart in my life but I am trying now. Mirjam has that effect on people. :-)

Oh Mirjam...I forgot to tell you I love to knit dishcloths. Don't use them but I love to knit them. Well e-mail you.

I know the feeling. I make smaller ones and use them for coasters, make MUCH larger ones and use them for throw rugs, afghans, shawls, etc.

This weekend I am working on a sweater knit bottom-up in the round in worsted weight yarn because I am bored out of my gourd after my anticipated company had to cancel at the last minute. Honestly, I would rather be sewing, because I have more unfinished sewing projects for things I could wear to work and because when I'm sitting knitting my doggie wants to take over my lap, which she doesn't do when I am sewing, but until my son has the time to cut the legs of this portable table down so it's the right height for sewing, I just have to wait and grit my teeth.

your experience of 40 years is very respected, and is to saluted.

Every one and every body, who joins[ed] this group,brings their own tastes , flavours, experiences and we all become richer and more glad with our common interest. >=A0I can't even

[shhhh don`t tell anybody it tooooooooook me years to master this as well , and i still learn new things.]

i just like to share nice things ,,, the nasty ones come anyway witout invitations. But thank you Linda for this beautiful compliment !!!

Aha but if you `struggle ,,` i am sure it is going to look marvelously original. ,,,

I thought about your dillema , and think you might either write both the pattern in words and have the chart ,than take colored pencils and paint on the chart each k st with color A , use the smae color for every time the pattern says k st. use color b for both the chart showing a purl st , and both the written purl st.. etc , this way the colors of both become more clear and you will be able to find your way on both !!!

Thank you for the Compliment i am blushing ..

as long as it pleases you !!!! Do it ,,,,,, i am now knitting an art work that relates to the fact that the Hebrew St is called Ayin =3Dwhich is also an Eye in Hebrew. mirjam
