Test fishermen’s rib with cotton yarn 2

I made this one with size 7 needles; the previous one was with size 10 needles. The cotton is the Sugar ‘n Cream, Earth Ombre color, worsted weight; it calls for US #9, 5.5 mm needles.

I think I like the version made with size 7 needles better; it’s a little tighter but not too tight. It’s the one on the right; the left one is the one made with size 10 needles.

It will be interesting to see how they look after a run through the washer and dryer.

Test fishermen’s rib with cotton yarn

The cotton is the Sugar ‘n Cream, Earth Ombre color, worsted weight; it calls for US #9, 5.5 mm needles. I used #10 needles.

As usual my borders are a mess.

It’s fairly light and fluffy; I could see using it for a scarf. Although the yarn would probably snag on everything since it’s so loose.

I’m going to try it again on #7 needles.

I used the first one, A. The square brackets delineate what to repeat.

My first knitting project

A pot holder. I’m using cotton yarn and the seed stitch (aka the moss stitch). The yarn is multicolored; teal, brown, and off white. I’m about halfway or so done.

Since it’s cotton I can just toss it in the washing machine. I’m hoping that the first wash will help even out the unevenness of my knitting.

See if you can find the flub in the lower left corner!
