I have been working on about 12 projects I am not allowed to share. I have been helping a fellow blogger test some patterns for her up and coming book. When the book is published I will post photos of what I did. Till that time it stays under wraps. I have had a little bit of time to work on my stockings. OK those of you that knit out there I am wanting to make these into winter tights a few questions if you have the time to answer I would appreciate it. - how bad does pearl cotton ( size5) stretch and loose shape with wear (if it does is it unsuitable for tights I don't want the e to look like elephant ankles and knees)
- is cotton a bad idea for tights but fine for over the knee stockings
- A good source to figure out what measurements I need to make stockings/ tights so I can get the rest of my math going I have the foot math figured out till past the ankle the increase and decrees part of the calves knees and thighs is what I am needing the math for I know there are formulas for the high and width rations in association to gauge of knitting I just want to know where are the key points to measure the numbers and such I will deal with.
I am working on the tam the graphics for the leaves and such I am trying to due on the computer and it is giving me a little bit of an issue hope to have that done soon.
I can not really answer your question, but I may be able to point you in the right direction for most of your answers.
