[Nfb-krafters-korner] cardigan and ponchos: was What isnew out there?

[Annette Carr]

Henry,

You have permission to use my description in your class.  We will be all old
and grey if you wait for me to have time to teach the class.

By the way, I will be teaching a 1 session needle knitting class on picking
up dropped stitches in late January 2016.  Stay tuned as I will post info
about the class in a few weeks as there is a little bit of homework prior to
the class.

Annette

Congratulations Annette, you are the winner and you get to take over
teaching my poncho class for next year. Lol. Henry

I do not know the earlier part of this conversation, so if what I am about
to add is off topic, please give me some leigh way.

There is a poncho pattern that is made up of 2 rectangles.  I've only made
them for my daughter's 18 inch dolls, but they would work for humans as
well.  Let's see if I can describe it in a way that makes sense.

1.  Make 2 rectangles.  The size of these rectangles will have to be
discussed at a different time.
2.  Lay rectangle #1 out on the table so that the long sides are horizontal
to you and the short sides are vertical to you.
3.  Lay rectangle #2 on the table above rectangle #1 so that the short sides
are horizontal to you and the long sides are vertical.
3.  Match up the top left corner of rectangle #1 with the bottom left corner
of rectangle #2.  The rectangles will create the shape of the capital print
letter "L".
4.  You now sew the 2 rectangles together where they touch.
5.  This next step is the hardest part.  You have to match up the short side
of Rectangle #1 with the long side of rectangle #2, and then seam it


Once all seamed up, and laid out on the table, you will have 2 layers of
fabric that sort of look like the shape of a squared off heart.  One layer
of fabric is the front of the poncho and the other is the back.  Your head
comes out between the 2 bumps at the top of the heart.  The bumps at the top
of the heart rest on your shoulders and cover your arms.  Your arms come out
at the top of the sloping sides of the heart.  The bottom point of the heart
is pointing down to the floor.

HTH,
Annette

Hi Courtney,

It was nice to meet you on the chat tonight.

As for the poncho class, if you ask Henry, I know his answer will be "never
ever again!"

There was sewing involved because it was loom knit in three pieces and
getting the pieces lined up and sewed evenly was next to impossible.
Hmm, if someone does repeat this class, let's all send our pieces to Karen
to sew for us. <grin>

Meanwhile, why not plan to join my loom knit shawl class in January. All you
need to know how to do is to knit and purl.
Cathy F
