Do you love to knit? Is your knitting bag right next
to your easy chair? Have you ever tried Reversible Double-knit? It's
very easy. If you can knit, and purl, you can double-knit, and it is so
much fun.I fell in love with reversible double-knit yeas ago, and
Have designed dozens of afghans, and sweater, and several hats, and lately a few
doll layette patterns. I had the afghans in a book format,
but I have re-thought that, and am offering them in individual patterns
now. It seems more convenient to be able to pick and choose which ones you
may want, instead of having to buy patterns you don't want that were bundled in
the book. I have even separated the instructions, so that if you
already know how to do reversible double-knit, you can just buy the
charts. I have just lately managed to find the time to get the
sweater and hats, and doll clothes patterns written and on the site.
The charts come in full color, and for each side.
They are printed on 4 sheets of paper, and you will need to tape them together
yourself. It makes it easier to mail this way. You can chose to order
line by line written instructions , with the finishing instructions for each
pattern, or just the chart.
You will be able to look at charts and pictures of the afghans I have completed so far,
and charts of the others.
I tend to design faster than I knit, so some of the designs
are not knitted up yet. I have checked and double checked the ones that I
haven't knitted yet, so I feel fairly confident that they will work up
alright. If you order an untested one, and have problems, please let me
know.

I also have designed, out of necessity, a cover for
the afghans while I am working on them. It buttons right through the
afghan, without hurting anything, and adjusts to the growing length of it.
It is lightweight, but keeps the afghan nicely clean.

| Here
it is in the bag, with just one side buttoned. |
Close up of that
side. |
As you can see, you adjust the bottom by scrunching up the
edge, and tying it up with ribbons through adjusting holes.
After getting the one side buttoned evenly across, you
then button through the button holes on the other side of the cover. As you can see in the last picture, it leaves you covered up to the row you are
working on, and doesn't interfere with the knitting at all. You can move
it up any time you want. There are three rows of adjusting holes to change
the length of the bag.
I make it in two sizes. A smaller one for doing baby
afghans, and a longer, wider one for full size afghans. The small one is
$10.00, the large $15.00.
