One of my goals is to eventually get some patterns written for knitting, and possibly crocheting too.
I get custom requests from family or I'll make gifts, and think: I should be writing this down as I go so I can :
1) remember how to do it for the next time;)
and/or
2) get it printed up to sell or possibly publish it.
This time around, after another request, I decided to do just that.
I'm always surprised that it takes much longer to figure things out than I originally thought.
For example, I've redone this one a few times. I actually have one version completely finished and ready to wear, but decided to go ahead and redesign/experiment it with a slightly different look and see what happens.
As you can probably tell from this photo, I am a very visual person. I have to literally see the stitches and physically count them to make sure that I have the right amount. I've worked things out on a calculator far too many times and had it not work out when actually knitting-why is that? Anyway, now I just write it out and physically count them on paper, lol . Sometimes I use graph paper but the squares are a bit too small.I'm pretty sure there are specific graph papers you can print from online.I'll have to check.
