what kind of knitter are you?

What Kind of Knitter Are You?


You appear to be a Knitting Adventurer. You are through those knitting growing pains and feeling more adventurous. You can follow a standard pattern if it’s not too complicated and know where to go to get help. Maybe you’ve started to experiment with different fibers and you might be eyeing a book with a cool technique you’ve never tried. Perhaps you prefer to stick to other people’s patterns but you are trying to challenge yourself more. Regardless of your preference, you are continually trying to grow as a knitter, and as well you should since your non-knitting friends are probably dropping some serious hints, these days.http://marniemaclean.com

My first aceo listing


Just a silly little orange kitty. Now to try to get some more of this junk I have around the house listed. Doesn’t help that my ebay room got trashed by the men in my life when I was in the hospital (grumbles). And a pita to buy storage supplies when I’m not supposed to be driving…

Kid is doing well. Orthopedic doctor was in- they are going to be putting him in a harness to help his hips- hopefully that will work, if not will be another surgery.

Wee Willie Warmer Patterns

weewilly

From left to right:
“Bonnie Boner” (or Eddie Erected or The Stallion);
“Tinkle Tamer” (or Irving is Interested);
“Penis Purse” (or Wee Willie)

Disclaimer: These patterns were “named” years ago by a friend. For those who feel self-important enough to think they were named for you specifically, they were not.
We do not know you nor are we out to “get” you.
We suggest intense therapy for those who think otherwise.

I used #20 thread on all of the samples. You can use whatever yarn and needles you wish…

“Bonnie Boner” (Eddie Erected or The Stallion)
#1 needles
I used the Double Seed Stitch Pattern:
Rows 1 & 2: *k2, p2* across.
Rows 3 & 4: *p2, k2* across.

Cast on 64 sts.
Do the stitch pattern or knit in stockinette stitch for 6 rows.

Next Row: Do the pattern stitch or knit across on 20 sts. Put rem stitches on a holder.
Work on these 20 sts for 18 rows. Cut yarn, leaving enough to thread yarn through sts & draw up tight, secure.

Join yarn to next 24 sts & do pattern stitch or knit for 24+ rows. Or however you want the main bit to be.
Thread yarn through sts & draw up tight, secure.

Join yarn to last 20 sts, do the pattern stitch or knit for 18 rows.
Thread yarn through sts & draw up tight, secure.

Sew seam. See photo below. The seam is from the tip of the longest bit, to the sack, around and to the top of the warmer.

Single crochet 2 sts tog around top. Join. Chain 4, * dc, ch 1, * around.
Join & end off. Make a chain 50 sts long. Thread it through the dc’s & tie in front.

“Tinkle Tamer” (or Irving is Interestd)
#00 needles
Cast on 21 sts.
Knit in stockinette stitch for 2 rows.
Next Row: k1, *yo, k1* across. (41 sts) Purl back.
Do 2 more rows of stockinette stitch. Next Row: Do knit across on 12 sts.
Work on these 12 sts for 12 rows. Cut yarn, leaving enough to thread yarn through sts & draw up tight, secure.

Join yarn to next 17 sts & knit for 24+ rows. Or however you want the main bit to be.

Thread yarn through sts & draw up tight, secure.

Join yarn to last 12 sts, do the pattern stitch or knit for 18 rows.
Thread yarn through sts & draw up tight, secure.

Sew seam. The seam is from the tip of the longest bit, to the sack, around and to the top of the warmer.

Make a chain 50 sts long. Thread it through the beading holes made at the beginning of the warmer & tie in front.

“Penis Purse” (or Wee Willie)
Do the same as the “Tinkle Tamer”, except on #0000 needles.
