Thread: Knitting pattern request...

....does anyone have a knitting pattern for a cushion cover please? I have some spare wool, and would like to make some big cushions to throw onto the sofa.

Have found some on ebay, but willing to pay postage if anyone could photocopy me one.

Many thanks

Purl one, knit one .... keep going until big enough to cover a cushion!!

Cheeky so and so!!!! My tension can be a bit pants, so I want a pattern to work to, so there

MY MIL to be is a big knit too .... so I'll ask her if she has a pattern!

Awww thank you honey Steve found me some online, even though he knows he's gonna have to listen to me going click-click all the time

Hi DQ - did you make it? I've never done anything like that - so would like to see a picture of it when it's done if you can post one

I want to learn how to knit! Is it easy to learn from online lessons or best to be shown?? There is so much lovely wool and yarns out there these days. Maybe I will look into that - could be a nice winter sport.

Ooh not sure about that BL, but I guess there must be some good tutorials about, you should have a look into it. I love it, it's so relaxing and from 2 simple stitches (knit and purl) you can make wonders.

Grab yourself a pair of needles, a cheap ball of wool and give it a go

Hi Katie! I get such a smile when I see your name here - its so nice to have you back.

Funnily enough, we had a second hand book sale at work yesterday for charity - and guess what was there, right in the centre of the table? A step by setp knitting instruction book with great photos and projects!!!

Ask, and ye shall receive!!

I think I will do just that - grab a few supplys after the hols and have a go. Pennys a little to sparse at the moment!! But definately want to learn - I saw some of the greatest little knit hats in America and wanted them all!! So I must learn to make them!

Have a great weekend hon!!
