Saturday, Pattern Day #19

Late again! I’ve been doing lots of TA work this week and by the end of the day I’m just wanting to sleep. Being a grad student has severely decreased my blogging energy, or blognergy as I like to call it. Even my wordplay is tired.

If you are knitting or have already knit a pattern that I’m talking about, leave me a comment and I’ll update my post with a link to your version. If you’ve written up a pattern and you want me to link to it, send me an email or leave me a comment and I’ll post it! It makes the list longer and my job easier.

  • Ollie is an octopus with a giant head, which is mega-adorable.
  • Squiddy is less adorable, but you take what you can get from cephalopod knitting patterns.
  • A girl emailed me asking for fishnet patterns, so I dug some up: Fishnet Stockings from Vogue-Knit Series No. 35 (1940s), Mesh Stockings, and Lolita from Knitty.
  • This Celtic Cable Scarf is a looker.
  • Got some sweaters already knit up but don’t want to wear them? Make yourself a Sweater Blanket.
  • Here’s a chart for the Enslaved logo; I’m assuming they’re a metal band, so that’s for all the metalheads out there.
  • Two Pomatomus fingerless gloves patterns: one at tingletangle and one at craftoholic. Example here. Gorgeous.
  • If all you know to do is a square, you can still make a fantastically adorable bunny! I love it. I’m going to make a thousand of them. Example here!
  • I don’t know what Clangers are, but they’re adorable. Check out the description for Major Clanger: “He is the head of the family. He is called Major because he is the largest and the oldest and most important of the Clangers. His coat is made of beaten brass like armour but he does not fight. His armour is to protect him from things that fall from the sky.” Heehee! Example here.

  1. The Clangers were a children’s TV series here (made by Oliver Postgateand probably Peter Firmin). They live on a planet and communicate in whistles. The series finished ages ago but is still fondly remembered.

  2. Are you on ravelry? I saw a much cuter squid pattern there somewhere recently. (My internet’s really slow right now, or I’d look it up for you. Remind me, and I’ll do so later if you haven’t already found it by then.)
