[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Successful Saturday

[Ramona W]

The design on the completed sweater might not be good for tweed. It is 
sort of a narrow garter stitch line on both sides of V's all up and down 
the front.  One on each side of center.  The pattern is 23 stitches, and 
I think shows up best on a solid color.

The one I am now making is an all-over design, quite simple: Purl  rows 
1 and 3.  Knit row 2;  Knit four purl 2; across on fourth and sixth row 
    with four knit at end of row.  Then you can decide how many rows 
between designs.  Then run design between the first ones:  Knit 1; purl 
2; knit four across.  think it would look good with almost any kind of 
yarn.  But you can readily make a small piece of it to see what you 
think.  It is really just a 3 row design that moves back and forth to be 
a little more interesting.  I can take a little more time to write it 
better if you are interested.

Headed to Arkansas tomorrow to; check on my 101-year-old mother.

BEst,

Ramona
