Knit off!

[kymmy]

This thread is for anyone who would like to join in a knit off.

http://grapevine.net.au/~bluegum/freesoaker.html

This is my fave pattern for soakers and super easy. You can of course use which ever patten you wish.

Feel free to ask qs. Give it a go!

NAK!

[kymmy]

Oh and you have a week to join up and get organised!

[shed]

whens the judging? I have to go away for ten days and I haven't finished the jumper I am knitting yet.

although we all know you will win it kymmy, you GRANNY!!!

But yeah, what the heck, count me in.:yes:

[kymmy]

Okay if I can join in I will!
Lets say two weeks from now I will start a thread for pics of what is created. 24th November. And a week later we can vote. Does that seem reasonable?

[drewid]

Count me in! I'm off to Spotlight tomorrow :D :D :D

[shed]

24th November. Thats too soon even if I wasnt going away, i can't knit that fast.

Kymmy i might just sit this one out and learn how to knit first. Hopefully :fingerscrossed: i'll be able to join the next one. Can't wait to see the end results of this one though :D

Question : Is the comp strictly soakers or can anything be submitted ?

[kymmy]

I don't mind if ppl knit something else for the knit off.
Shed - how long does it take you to knit a soaker? I am not sure how long it takes for others. Since I am always knitting....

[drewid]

I have my wool! :)

My soakers only take 3 or 4 days...depending on how much interruption the little man provides. Maybe a week if he is being demanding :)

[mama anne]

ooooh i'm in :)

[drewid]

Ooh this is bad.... I'm finished already! :eek:

I like that pattern Kimmy, but it did confuse me a little with the stitch counting in some places. But I made a small adjustment and voila...boooootiful.

Just have to sew up the seams tonight and I'll start a new pattern tomorrow :)

(Can't half tell I'm a knitting addict :o)

[kymmy]

:thumbsup: Noo! Can't wait to see!
I am working on other things but will be on it soon probably next week.
To be honest I am terrible with patterns. They all confuse me! Must be my non math head.

Ooh I wish I could knit - nevermind I guess I will just have to stick to sewing the nappies

[KaM]

Im dobbing my mum in for this!

she's the knitter in our family!!

She recently made my little miss this huge johnson the elephant toy (knitted). Soo cute!!

[kymmy]

Yay for Krisseh's mum!
I am itching to start now. I am knitting soakers but not for the knit off just yet.

[kymmy]

How are we going?
I am yet to start but I have an idea - something I have been wanting to make for a while.
I will start a new thread for those who want to post pics.

[shed]

I'm still not finished the jumper so will have to sit this one out.

Unfortunately knitting is not something you can do quickly at the last minute, unlike nappy-sewing.

[kymmy]

Yeah knitting takes somewhat longer than a nappy!
I have a few things on the needles but will like to start a soaker soon for the knit off.

[kymmy]

Okay I started the soaker for the knit off. I have an idea for what I want to knit up but ahhh it never worksout the way I plan so ill just go with it.

Will start a new thread soon for those who want to post pics today and in the next week.

[drewid]

I've knit 2 and am working on my 3rd! Hope to finish that one today and I'll try to put some pics up later :)
