I used the Anne Alexander stitch pattern shared by Eileen Montgomery ( http://www.eileenmontgomery.com/Freebies/Patterns/tuckpunchcardafg.html ) called Tuck Punchcard Afghans. But I used my Brother 260 bulky, instead of the standard. Cast on L51-R50 (there is a typo in needle setup in the original standard directions for the smallest size). Light steaming was all that was required along the edges. I knit about 300 rows (forgot to reset when I had to frog a few rows)

Bernat Baby Sport, it used about 200g of the 300g ball. Final, washed size - about 26x42.

I cut the card with my electronic cutter (the KNK Zing) using Bonnie Bell's PCGenerator ( http://www.brendaabell.com/pcgenerator )

Lovely! What tension did you use for the bulky?
I used Tension 4++

Could you tell me how to do the border? It looks like two punch cards were used.
Yes, if you look at the pattern, the top and bottom are done with card 1. Start bottom with card 1, then you switch to the punched card. It has the side borders built in, switch back to card 1 for the top.

Electronic cutter?? Is there another tool I haven't heard of? Sharron
Not a machine knitting tool (well, it IS now! :sm02: ) It is usually considered a paper crafting tool. Many brands out there, including the KNK line (mine, the Zing), Silhouette, Cricuit, Brother Scan and Cut (yep, same Brother company) and more. It has to be a machine that lets you import svg files to cut.
