0186 - Four Seasons Thread Lace Afghans

by Charlene Shafer

Thread Lace (also known as Punch Lace) is a little used technique that deserves a closer look. Just think, designs that knit up quick, afghans that require no lining and mo wrapping the design to prevent separation of the yarns. Use a thick yarn and a very thin yarn of the same color.

One Afghan for each of the four seasons.

0178 - Baby Knits

by Charlene Shafer

This collection of baby garments is intended for all the grandmas that knit. I know many of the young parents love to dress their children as little adults in all the bright colors and grown up styles. These babies will be grown up soon enough. Many of us still like to see babies as cute and cuddly bundles of joy. Soft colors and designs are what I have in mind. The following garments are my interpretation of what little ones should wear.

Baby garments included are Rib Tuck Set (Sweater, Matching Pants, Matching Mittens, Boys Hat, Girls Hat, and Gown), Lace Cardigan, Matching Pants, Cabled Cardigan, Matching Cable Pants, ABC Pocket Sweater, Matching Pants, Square Corner Hat, Matching Mittens, Scrunched Cuff Hat, Matching Scrunch Mittens, Short Rowed Hat, Matching Mittens, Burp Cloth, and Baby Burp Cloth.

0173 - Braided Rugs & Such

by Charlene Shafer

We all have extra yarn in a bag , a box, a closet or some of us, even a room. How many times I have heard, "I need to use up some of this yarn I have before buying more". Here is a simple way to use up the leftovers, the extra cones or odd dye lots we have on the shelf. Knit rugs, Chair pads, Placemats, or coasters. They can be braided in several shapes. First try the basic circle, half circle or oval. Now try a square, heart shape or even an apple shape. The possibilities are endless.

In this book, we will give you some guidelines to go by. Since you can use any type of yarn and we all braid at a different tensions, it will be hard to give you an exact number of rows to knit. This is one of those projects you don't need a swatch. Don't you just love it? The items don't have to be exact sizes. Braid until you run out of yarn or you have the size needed. This is a great project if you have a motor drive.
