These are all of the items that I made since I got back into knitting.

It's not really that hard. All I can tell you is to try and see what happens. Basicly with the thumb in the patterns that I have is that you increase between the purl stitchs.

Thanks. I've been knitting for at least 30 years. Have gotten away from it for the past 10 years or so. Decided to start again as it's easy to pick up when it gets slow at work. I love doing it. So all of these items that I made were for christmas gifts for friends.

Thank you all. I had this pattern for the lope sweater years ago, but lost all of my patterns in the last move. All of the lopi patterns that I had have been discontinued, but I got lucky when I found this pattern at my local yarn store.

 

[Doreen]

Thank you all for your kind words. Am working on a child's cardigan now. Will post pics when it's done.
Thanks again.

The slippers are not hard at all

 

[Doreen]

It was a varigated yarn that I got at wal mart.

 

[Doreen]

Here is the pattern for the lopi sweater. I had to take pics of the pattern, so hope that you can make it out.

 

[Doreen]

I kind of cheat. I used Red Heart yarn for the sweater. Got it from Wal-mart.

 

[Doreen]

lol not to be funny, but alot of trimming. lol

 

[Doreen]

Thanks. I'm currently working on 2 projects. Another lopi which is almost done and a childs cardigan. The cardigan pieces are done, so all I have to do now is sew them together. yuck. lol

 

[Doreen]

Ya I hate it to, but this cardigan is cute so I thought that I would try it. Not saying how it will turn out once I sew it. Am really dragging my feet on this one. lol

 

[Doreen]

All I did for the stitches for the toe was do k1,p1 ribbing. Then to sew the heel you turn it inside out and I did the toe first. When you cast off for the toe draw the yarn tight and then I just use the left over yarn from casting off to sew up the toe and a little bit of the garter stitch. then I fold it in half and use the yarn by the heel to sew up the back. Make a pom pom and attach it.

 

[Doreen]

lol I just sewed it so that it closed up the hole. lol

 

[Doreen]

Thank you. Am getting ready to post some work that I'm currently working on.

HOW DID YOU MAKE THE SLIPPERS ? COULD I HAVE THE PATTERN SENT TO ME ON EMAIL.

The pattern for the slippers can be found if you google aunt maggie's slippers.

 

[Doreen]

I love your purple lopi sweater..

The lopi sweater is the pattern that I put on here. I just am changing the pattern around the waist and the wrist.
