I don't think the author of this particular version is familiar with slanting decreases in opposite directions, so she has just 'Knit 2 together through back loops'. I used Knit 2 together to slant half the decreases the other way so the instep doesn't look funny.

It's soft and warm, and machine washable. Can't argue with that.

Needles: Addi Turbo Circular size 6
Cast on: April 4, 2013
Completed: April 23, 2013
Comments: As you can see, I left out the seed stitch and did them in stockinette. I decided the variegation speaks for itself. It was a good project for me to do when I was under extreme stress.

Comments: I was relieved that it fit the doll when it was done. I do not care for the shaping in the back. I'm mystified as to why it was done that way. It's cute though. I put snaps in the back opening, then sewed tiny little antique pearl buttons on top for decoration.

Electric Green Candy Cardigan
Pattern: Candy Cardigan by Anna and Heidi Pickles
Yarn: In the Loop Sport from BigLots! in electric green.
Content: 100% Acrylic
Yarn: Spa by Naturallycaron.com in black.
Content: 75% Acrylic/25% Rayon from Bamboo.
Needles: Addi Turbo Circular size 6
Cast on: February 21, 2013
Completed: March 25, 2013
Adjustments: I used only 2 colors in the yoke. I reversed them, starting with color1. Instructions say to knit 13 cm of stockinette after the 2-color section. I knit until total piece length from cast on was 11 inches. I also knit the front bands on separate by picking up 65 sts along the edge.
Comments: I made this for Knitwits. I love love LOVE how it turned out! How cute! I love the black yarn. It's very nice to work with, but the In the Loop Sport is a horrible yarn. I wouldn't recommend it for anything you want to last for awhile or be an heirloom. It has so many thick spots and little pills all over it.

Comments: Was a very fun knit. The yarn is not the best quality though. Definitely mill end stuff. It was only 2 bucks for a 4 oz. skein. You get what you pay for.

Needles: Addi Turbo Circular size 8
Cast on: July 8, 2011
Completed: January 23, 2013
Comments: I love the pattern. It was pleasant to knit, well written too. I had to enlarge it because it only goes up to size L. I was worried the fabric might be heavier than I would be comfortable in because it's garter stitch chevron, but it is very comfortable.
Treads for Frank
Pattern: Treads by Victoria Anne Baker.
Size: Mens medium
Yarn: Queensland Collection Rustic Tweed in Black (#110)
Content: 65% Wool, 25% Alpaca, 7% Acrylic, 3% Viscose
Needles: Addi Turbo Circulars in size 5.
Cast on: January 12, 2013
Bound off: January 14, 2013
Comments: I love the look of these mitts. I made this pattern for my daughter last summerso I'm familiar with it. The pattern isn't quite large enough, as written, for Franks manly hands and I didn't want any fingers, so I've made some adjustments:
Cast on 46 sts.
On Thumb gusset-increased to 17 thumb sts.
After second lateral braid is done above thumb, knit 7 rows of 1x1 rib, then bind off.
Cast on 3 sts for thumb so there are 20 sts. Knit 6 rounds stockinette, then 5 rounds of 1x1 rib. Bind off.
Live long and prosper. \\//
