Wasn't me.
wasn't me either
one i know is a cable stitch that's the long one beside the squiggly one
This I know for a fact...t'was me!!!
There is a diamond, a cable and, I think, a double moss stitch.
The reason I know it was I, is because if you look closely at the hem of the two front panels you will see that I had tried to fashion the pointed ends of a waistcoat. There was no pattern as such, and I improvised, at your request, if I remember correctly.
That's right Anne. I am sure you are surprised to see this resurface in such good condition after all these years. You certainly did a good job on it and it has many , many years of wear on it yet. Probably more than me, but then I am used a little more often I am happy to say.
I knit that sweater.
Slantywise pearl.
Reverse slantywise pearl
Double-cross underhand
hitching Cable, hook and tow.
That's all I can remember. I was riding my 10 speed in the rain at the time.
Ha Ha....brilliant. I love that.
Mam, you are so talented!!!! Why have none of these fantastic knitting skills been passed on .... meaning me of course!!!!
