So, I´ve been an avid knitter for thirty odd years, and now it is time for me to start making my own patterns. When I want to knit something specific I usually end up finding a pattern that is similar, and alter it to fit my needs. Still that does not help in all cases, and I miss being able to knit what I imagine. And this blog will be about my journey towards making the patterns that I want.
In this blog I will share what I learn, useful links, helpful hints and patterns that I make.
As most other nordic knitters I am pretty ok with color work, and over the years I have made countless of those nordic stars. So I started by testing my own color work and think it came out ok.
I took this image and uploaded it to knitPro 2.0 and created a knitting chart.
knitPro 2.0 is an online chart maker that takes images and creates knitting, crocheting and needlework charts. It is the best one that I've found. Luckily it is also free. Many of the other ones do not take into account that a knitting stitch is taller than it is wide.
Then I knitted the chart.
And finally I blocked it.
Download the
almost knitty nerd chart, if you want for some reason.
Until next time,
Happy knitting.
