New group project idea

Hi knitters,

I found another type of blanket in my internet wanderings.

There is a copy at my desk, if you want to have a look.

I will be there on Feb.24th to brainstorm with you.

Another knitted lace scarf success!

Winnie N. also completed her lace scarf. Beautiful!

This Angel Pearls Beaded Scarf "is worked from one end to the other without grafting or provisional cast on. Instructions are included for placing beads with a crochet hook and making bead or yarn tassels. Pattern contains 6 pages and is both written and charted. One ball of kid mohair/silk yarn is required for the scarf."

New group project idea

Hi,

I don't know how far we are with ideas but, just in case, I thought this mitered square quilt block looked like it had potential. The knitting is pretty basic but it's the colours and how they are organized that will make all the difference. Psychedelic Squares Afghan: Stocking St Version.

Digital Resources from the Knitting Reference Library WSA

From the University of Southampton website:
The Richard Rutt Collection at Winchester School of Art

Richard Rutt is a scholar and former bishop who is widely known for his classic book 'A history of hand knitting', published by Batsford in 1987. Rutt’s library of books, journals, magazines, patterns and cuttings specifically on knitting is held at Winchester School of Art Library. This follows his wish to donate his library to the University of Southampton in order to join it with Montse Stanley’s Knitting Collections as an acknowledgement of their shared interest in knitting and their consequent long standing friendship.
