Settles down in the comfy chair by the fire.

I would love it if you could send me the pattern by private message, if you can. 💙

No, I didn't. Thank you!

This is a lace pattern called Greensleeves, knitted in teal instead of the duplicate criss cross pattern.

Mostly knit togethers, yarn-overs and slip, slip knits, but also this new stitch:

• Sk2p – slip 1 st purlwise, k2tog, pass slipped stitch over knit stitch (2 sts decreased)

Oooh - that is so pretty, @MyrtleLion - and I love the colour.

I am knitting myself a cardigan at the moment - a really nice, simple pattern - in turquoise. I’m using a Scheepjes yarn called chunky monkey - it is 100% acrylic, and it is so, so soft.

I forgot to add the link to the pattern - here.

Myrtle, I've PMed you.

@MyrtleLion Have you tried this one? It came up on FB yesterday & I fancied having a go myself - it looks more intricate than it actually is in the making IYKWIM.

I'm crocheting a blanket for Woolly Hugs (hospital blankets) - no idea what size it'll be. Photos later.

Woolly Hugs also do a Christmas Sale of Work.

That looks lovely. I will check it out.

I've been doing one of my occasional roll-calls of Stockingers, and I've thought of AlisonDonut who used to make super ceramic-y things and who has either changed her name or hasn't been here for a while.
And Inkymoose? I don't think you've popped in recently?

I like to know how fellow-Stockingers are, and for them to know that they are missed when they're not around

Do you have a link to the pattern?

Why has my post been hidden? I just said that I’d done a particular blanket a number of times and linked to the pattern?

The chart looks fuzzy on the page.

That's weird. But MN has been a bit glitchy recently.

It’s the Marianne blogspot Jordan blanket if any of you know it. I’ve done at least 12 of them in various sizes.

OMG, I've been hidden, too!

I tried to link to the pattern. It's lovely.

It’s and it’s dead easy - knit 10 rows for a garter border

then knit and purl 4 rows - making sure on the purl side you do 6 knit stitches at each end for a garter border.

then it’s knit 6, purl 4 knit 4 all the way across until knit 6 at the end.

purl side is k6, purl to k6 for border. For every row.

do that for 8 rows

then the knit and purl 4 rows and then knit 6, purl 4 knit 4 with the knit border and the purl side same as before.

then the knit & purl 4 rows and repeat until it’s the right sort of length, ending with the k and p 4 rows. Then knit 9 rows for the border. Cast off.

the very small size is 88 stitches - but as long as you take off 12 stitches for the border it’s just 8 stitches related.

MN might be extra wary of people linking to copyrighted patterns, or writing them out, even if that’s not what the posters are doing intentionally or at all.

The pattern is on Ravelry, though, and free. There are 468 projects made using it, so it gives you an idea of what it will look like in other yarns and colours. The pattern tells you how to make it bigger, if you want to.

Look here.

Fingers crossed this doesn’t get deleted.

The person says use away at the pattern as long as you credit her - she even allows her patterns to be used to make items for sale from memory. I wouldn’t break copyright!

Apologies for the circuitous link. This should take you to Ravelry.

I’m not a copyright expert, @Taztoy . You do whatever you think is appropriate.

You can't blame MNHQ for being cautious with links to knitting patterns - I mean, imagine the threat to democracy if this fell into the wrong hands!😁

That's a lovely pattern.

I wouldn’t put up a link to a pattern that was copyrighted. I’d never have the neck on me to do that!!
