Last night we had several people sewing up the sides of their cabled bag and crocheting on their handles. The handles were a little tricky but we got it! This is the lining that I am going to use. A little wild but I like it.
Below are my 2 socks on 2 needles. I ripped out my first attempt at making them because I was so concerned with figuring out how I needed to turn the needles, that I was knitting sooo loose they were going to fall of my foot. I finally got it figured out! Now I can concentrate on the lace instep. The second picture is the heel. I gotta say that was confusing but Pat being the great teacher that she is got me all worked out. So far I like doing both at the same time. I will be glad to have both of them finished. I already have a plan to make another pair. first though I need to make a pair of fingerless gloves for a friend. I am going to use the same technique and when I'm done I'm done!
Class reminder: Saturday, May 17th from 10-12 we will be doing a finishing class with JoAnne. Please call ahead to save your spot and remember, there will be homework! (only the good knitting kind) . Homework: BEFORE CLASS: Prepare 3 swatches exactly the same ( can be different colors)- Use a flat worsted weight yarn such as Encore or Galway. Can be wool or acrylic.With size 7 needles, or size needed to obtain a gauge of 5 sts =1" over st st;Loosely cast on 20 sts. Work in st st until total length is 4", ending with a wrong side row. Bind off loosely knitwise. Make sure all swatches are 4" square and the same number of rows- each.Bring the 3 finished swatches, size 7 needles, and some of the yarn used to make the swatches. Bring a yarn sewing needle- blunt tip.Suggestion; use light to medium shades of yarns- don't use black or very dark colors- harder to see the stitches.

So, um, Donna, where's the free pattern, or am I just missing something?
I love making fingerless mitts and will try your idea to knit 2 at a time on 2 needles... thanks for the idea.
Love the pattern on your bag liner! You seem to have the hang of that there sock knitting, missy!
Bet you'll do the sleeves of your next sweater 2 at a time too!
Hi Sally. I send the free pattern as an attachment to the email I send to everyone on the shop list. If you would like to come in and put your name on this list you are welcome to.
Hi Joanne, I finished the fingerless mitts on the two circ. needles. It only took 1 day. It was soo much easier this way! I did them from the fingers up so I didnt have to count rows after the thumb hole. I just knit until the yarn was almost gone..
Hi mrs. b. I have to say I sure will be doing everything with two circs. instead of those darn dpn's!
