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.

- 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.

- 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.
