Both types are 3.5 ounces under $3. The first is from Herrschners, it is their brand called Heritage Cotton. This is not their "lower end" cotton but a new product and has great colors. The Willow Sudsy and Willow Sudsy Spray are from Herrschners sister site Willow Yarns but you can go to the Herschners site which has both yarns listed on their site. To get more info you can go to https://www.herrschners.com/ Willow is located at the top left of the page and also has free patterns.</span><br />

Someone was nice enough to contact me and let me know about one of the rows being "off". After row 33; add row 33A: K2, P36, K2<br /><br />That row will need to be done to prepare the cloth for the next sequence of rows. This change was just to add another Purl row before starting row 34.<br /><br />Janet Nogle<br /><a href="mailto:jnogle@cox.net">jnogle@cox.net</a>Janet Noglehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02866881683013353855noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874018986348259663.post-3344003814638499662008-03-10T15:47:00.000-07:002008-03-10T16:18:52.615-07:00New Cloth Design<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5JZtXYqB1Sbyfr5yC9jNpHNCQ31UoukU6x9bcUKKsyjBeYEOsYAm7kOj_OvFaiRFVngXv24mCjVUxAQQNILvtsXGj8YMEoy_T8LQljGpXSOmHCiz-8hhvuZ_GCDGZC9SJnPM0fosz3mk/s1600-h/Lace+on+Lace.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176253958704252210" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5JZtXYqB1Sbyfr5yC9jNpHNCQ31UoukU6x9bcUKKsyjBeYEOsYAm7kOj_OvFaiRFVngXv24mCjVUxAQQNILvtsXGj8YMEoy_T8LQljGpXSOmHCiz-8hhvuZ_GCDGZC9SJnPM0fosz3mk/s320/Lace+on+Lace.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Hi and it's been a while, I am just getting around to posting on my blog, it has been a rough few months personally and what I need to get back to is working on the calendar for 2009, which I love working on.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>As I do some designs that I am not going to use for the calendar, I will pass along. A few months back I promised a lace cloth to someone and can't remember who it was but anyway I am posting it here for those interested in trying something different. This particular pattern I was trying different types of lace stitches with as an experiment with using one as a border pattern and the other in the body of the cloth. They were separated with stockenette rows. The lace pattern for the border, although it is hard to see resembles little baskets. So you can use part or all or whatever if you wish.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Lace on Lace Cloth<br />Janet Nogle © March 2008</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Materials:<br />Size 7 Needles<br />Cast On: Multiple of 7 + 2 + Border: 40 (28+2+10=36)<br />Color: 1 Skein Cotton Yarn, I used Bright Pink<br /><br />Knit 4 rows<br /><br />1.

Last year's was a success and everyone was so appreciative of our efforts and said such kind words to all of us really trying to get this formatted printed and out the door. We did find out that you really need to start the process prior to September of the previous year :( We didn't plan on doing a calendar, the reason this was started was because after viewing ALL of the professional calendars coming out for 2007 none of them had the type of patterns that our group enjoys doing. You would think a calendar having 365 patterns would devote at least 50+ patterns for the home. All it would have taken was a little research on the Internet to see what interests are out there and give the customers what they want.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />We are doing it a little different this year due to the problems we had delivering the calendars so we won't be using USPS this time. There will be more posted here as we progress on our calendar.<br /><br />I recently sent some stitch markers to one of our supporters. It is a little difficult getting close ups but anyway...I did post a photo here of what I sent. They have such cool beads out there now and I couldn't resist some animal print one's and some beautiful colors of crystal.<br /><br />I buy most of my supplies from Fire Mountain Gems and Oriental Traders. Well...until recently. I spend around $60+ when I do order from them but I had a bad experience with Oriental Traders and won't be giving them anymore of my business. I can understand following procedures and all that but when I need to know when something is going to be resolved I don't want to hear "well it isn't our fault"...where did this uncaring, lack of empathy and general attitude come to in this country? I worked as a Director in Customer Service and over Operations with the phone company and I would NOT put up with that kind of service from my employees and can't imagine why this is so <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">prevalent</span> now. I have learned that the way to get a message across is through the pocketbook, meaning you don't deal with these people after you have been mis-treated by them.<br /><br />NOW FOR FUN....I am having a fun give-away at our Monthly Dishcloth Group in celebration of the 4th of July. If you are in that group you will want to be watching your emails and visit my site often to get more information.

I was coming up with some new patterns and it dawned on me that we haven't shared pattern information like we should so I decided that this cloth could be worked as is but to also give those that were interested information on how they could modify a pattern to make up their own cloth. I also have added some simple explanations (you might want more detailed instructions which I have posted on the Monthly Dishcloth Group site.) for a K2tog tbl and P2tog tbl (tbl=Through Back Loops).</div><br /><div><br /><br /></div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Here is the pattern:</div><br /><div><br /><br /></div><br /><div><strong>Create A Pattern Cloth<br /></strong><br />Copyright © May 2007 Janet Nogle</div><br /><div><br /><br /></div><br /><div>Have you ever seen a design on a garment and thought “WOW that design would make a great cloth” but you were not sure how to go about it? Well it isn’t as hard as it may sound.<br /><br />You have to know the gauge and number of stitches to the design but most patterns will supply that information anyway.<br /><br />I came up with 30 stitches for the pattern and decided to crochet a row around the cloth when done instead of adding additional stitches for the border. If you want to include a knitted border, just add 3 or 4 stitches on each side in a garter stitch or Moss stitch.<br /><br />I started with 4 rows of Moss. When you have “even” number of stitches in a row your Moss Stitch sequence rows should be:<br /><br />1. K1, P1 Across<br />2. P1, K1 Across<br />3. K1, P1 Across<br />4. P1, K1 Across </div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>If you have an “odd” number of stitches in your design you should follow the below sequence:<br /><br />1. K1, P1 Across<br />2. K1, P1 Across<br />3. K1, P1 Across<br />4. K1, P1 Across<br /><br /><br /><strong>The reason for the difference?<br /></strong><br />You start the next row with the same stitch you ended with on the previous row. If your last stitch was a Purl stitch then you start with a Purl stitch on the next row and vice versa.<br /><br />Note: Don’t forget to add in your border stitches on each side. These instructions provide the pattern stitches only.<br /><br />The next set of stitches is the Rice Stitch. This is a simple stitch and gives a “twisted” effect.

I wanted to leave the other blog (designknitting.blogspot.com) for the Calendar information.</div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /><br /></div><div>I will be adding information about knitting, my patterns, personal info on this blog. I did finish up everything pertaining to the Calendar last week so time to move on.</div><div><br /><br /></div><div></div><div><br /><br /></div><div>I am working with different border looks for cloths. I think we get bored with the Garter and Moss stitch borders. Of course no one is strapped with having to do the exact border a pattern calls for. I have converted Garter stitch borders to Moss stitch and Moss to Garter borders. I believe it depends on the look you want to have. I use Moss to dress up a cloth and Garter to dress down a look. I don't like using Moss if the cloth pattern is fancy, I think it detracts from the design, unless Moss is part of the pattern. If you have a "Picture" cloth you are working with that has just one point of focus then you would probably want to make it a Moss border.</div><div><br /><br /></div><div></div><div><br /><br /></div><div>My new pattern called "<u><em>Moss N Ivy</em></u>" uses the Moss stitch as part of the border and pattern. I wanted to "frame" the cloth so I used this as part of the design. If you ever want to change a border to Moss but don't know how to do this, use the following as a rule of thumb:</div><div><br /><br /></div><div>This is worked over two stitches (K1, P1). If you have an uneven number of stitches in your design, every row will start with K1 and end with K1. If you have an even number of stitches in your design, you will need to rotate the pattern. Row 1 will be K1, P1 and end with P1. Your next row will have to start with P1, K1. What is the secret of this.....If a row ends with K1, then the next row will start with K1 and vice versa.</div><br /><br />I will be adding the pattern as soon as I have it tested and make any necessary changes.<br /><br />Janet Nogle<br /><a href="mailto:jnogle@cox.net">jnogle@cox.net</a>Janet Noglehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02866881683013353855noreply@blogger.com0
