Tracy, thank you for the book number. It turns out there are two versions of
that same book on Bard. The other one is br07677. I do not know if there are
any differences between this version and the one you have. Truthfully, I had
to look several times, and it is not obvious by looking at the synopses of
the two books. But now that I know which one you used I will search for
those patterns. Thanks.
Jeanette

Sorry Jeanette, I haven't actually looked at the title recently.
It's A Treasury of Knitting Patterns, by Barbara G. Walker. The library
number is br14111.

I have Volume 2 of the Treasury. It's different from Volume 1.
The diamond patterns are in the first section: patterns using knit and
purl. There are quite a few of them. So far, my favorite is Diamond
Brocade, which is big diamonds outlined in seed stitch.
The Traveling Grapevine is in the lace section, as I recall.
I have the book in digital braille in my notetaker, so I just search for
diamond or grape, for example, and up it comes. Or I look at the table of
contents, and then check out patterns that sound interesting.

Took some pattern suggestions from that book. So where did you find the
diamond ones and the grapevine ones. I do have the Braille but didn't find
those yet.

The diamond patterns, and the traveling grapevine, are all in A Treasury of
Knitting Patterns, by Barbara Walker, available in braille from NLS. It
might be in audio, too, but I much prefer braille for patterns.
That book is indeed a treasury. I've got many beautiful stitch patterns
from it, which I've been able to use in creating my own designs for sweaters
and tops.
For my rectangle, maybe I'll do a bit of the grapevine and see how lacy it's
coming out. If it doesn't seem good for a blanket, I'll take it out and
switch to diamonds, or whatever excites me at the time.

Tracy,
Would love to have a couple of your diamond patterns and the grapevine one.
If you can make rectangles out of them, great. I would stay away from lacy
stuff, as the fineness and the additional yarn overs etc. would create more
frilly consistency, and that seems not to be recommended for afghans. When I
chose the 7 I sent I made sure that they were considered good for afghans,
and none of the lacy patterns I looked at fit that description.
I can be reached directly at
Kutash-jm at comcast.net
If you are interested in sharing pattern stitches with me.
Thanks and have a great day.
Jeanette

The diamond patern should be good. I think we disided to not use lacey
patterns.

I'd like to make a couple rectangles for the afghan project. Some of my
favorite patterns create diamond shapes using knits and purls. Can I make a
rectangle with one of those?
Another pattern I like is Traveling Grapevine, which is long zigzags of
eyelets in a solid fabric. Can I do that?
Or I have lace leaf patterns-solid leaves outlined by lace holes. How about
that?
If all of these are "out", please send me the approved patterns. I'm a
fairly advanced knitter.
Thanks.
Tracy
