Let's Knit Magazine - Your knitting, your style

I’m new to the forums and wanted to say hello.

I am looking out of the window at a really miserable looking day - hopefully it will brighten up later.

I’m new to knitting but have made a few basic bits - couple of scarves, a lovely baby cardigan (from issue 1) and have just finished the Robert Teddy from the toy supplement.

I didn’t use the glass eyes or glasses as it was for my friends new baby boy.  I’m going to try and attach a photo.

I’m starting on the fairy from the toy supplement for my little girl.

I’ll put some pictures when I have finished it.

Got to go.

Your teddy is lovely !!!!

Well done on the teddy, he is fantastic.

Thanks for the welcome - I’m sure i’ll be needing lots of help

Sarah

Just shout anytime Sarah...there is usually some of us around.

Have got a question - I’m not exactly a skinny minny and wondered if you know anywhere that sells modern larger sized patterns, as I’d like to actually make something for myself.

Sarah

Welcome! I am not skinny either, but am hoping to get rid of a bit of it soon! Keep saying that though. The mags usually have good sizing in them, one of them (Knit Today)sorry LK!, has sizes up to 22,it says on cover, havent actually had time to look and see what exactly, there might be something you like!

Just having a quick look, theres a lacy cardiagan, looks hard though, I am not that good just yet! Theres also a sleeveless top, with a low back, but its fairly revealing, not for me. There is another crochet top, but I cant do that yet either!! Hope you find something, there may be patterns on Ravelry

hello arah and welcome to the forum. The teddy is wonderful, well done you!

Hello!

welcome to the forum, the teddy is lovely!! Hope you will enjoy the forum !

Beautiful teddy - welcome!

Hi Sarah and welcome to the forums.

Hi SARAH and welcome.

Looking at your teddy I don’t think you need much help with kniting, he is beautiful. Knit Today patterns actually go up to size 30. Sorry LK, but sometimes you DO seem to be on the side of the Skinny Minnies. But it is still a great mag.

Hi Sarah - hope you enjoy your visits to the Forum.  We are all mad, just in varying degrees.  Watch out for the others they are far far madder than me…

As for larger sizes, I too am *ahem* a bit big, ahem ahem (terrible cough I got).  From memory Stylecraft’s patterns tend to be a bit bigger, when I was last looking anway, which was a couple of months ago.  Enjoy the forum.  And if anyone tells you i’m mad....  I’m not really....

oh yes she is.

oh yes she is.

Might’ve known it’d be you, GG!

Better that I slightly mad (in a good way, obviously) than a complete and total miserable s*d who doesn’t join in unless it’s to be nasty, advertise something, or make up cr*p???  Of course we don’t know anybody like that on here cos I don’t think they’d last long.  Live long and laugh, is what I say!
