[Nfb-krafters-korner] Random Lace Patterns - WAS: Weather Blanket

[Henry Osborne]

Good Morning Annette, by what you said about ravelry, I gather that you 
don't like that site very much?
I can't see myself tying up a pair of needles or a loom for a year to make 
such a blanket. could any of you?

I had never heard of a weather or temperature blanket before either.  I do
like things with interesting construction and/or patterns, so I could not
help looking it up.  I can assure you that as interesting as it sounds, I
will not be making it.

There is a book by Myra Wood called Crazy Lace: An Artistic Approach to
Creative Lace Knitting.  It is not available on BARD nor BookShare.  I would
love to find an accessible copy.

Knit Picks has a pattern for purchase, $1, called Roll of the Dice Shawl.
Rolling the dice determines your lace pattern.  Now this is on my To-Do
list.

There is another pattern for $1.98 called Dice Roll Shawl.  The description
of this one says that the roll of the dice determines the width of your
stripes, and there are no purl stitches.  I could not figure out what
website I was on.

There does appear to be a free downloadable dice roll pattern on Ravelry.
For me, getting patterns off of Ravelry ranks right up there with weaving in
ends.

Annette

Hi Annette, and all,

Wow, I had never heard of weather blankets before, so appreciate both the
question and answer.

As most of you know, I love to learn and the more I learn, the more I want
to learn.


Have a great day!!
Cathy F
