Hi Tara,

I'm not sure what you are seeing...the front page looks the same to me. Could there be a problem with your internet browser?

I was wondering does anyone know of a christening set pattern for girls. I have looked all over the internet and I have only found three patterns and they are all for crochet. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
B

Hi Brandy,

Are you a member of Ravelry? I found several there, though not many online - mostly in books. Here is the Ravelry page:
Knitted Christening Gowns/Sets

Here are a couple of links to actual patterns, in case you are not a Ravelry memeber:
DROPS Christening Gown
Floral Trellis Christening Gown
Cabled Yoke Christening Gown
Ribbons & Lace Christening Ensemble

Hope this helps!

To Brandy
There is also a pattern for a Christening dress and Bonnet in the book titled "A Gathering of Lace". I have this book and it is also sold through Knit Picks. It of course is knitted lace. Beautiful. but I doubt if I will ever attempt it. It really does not look that difficult but I probably won't have a reason to make it. So for what it's worth it is in that book.

Hi Audrey,

You can probably post general knitting question in the Learn To Knit KAL - just start a discussion! We don't really have hard & fast rules on where to post things here, but more people will probably see it there :)

I have a knitting group who gathers every other sunday. For a treat I purchased the "Anklet Kit" and put numbers in a hat and let everyone chose their favorite color sock yarn, then pick which pattern they wanted to do. My sister has little bitty feet (she had polio when she was younger) and I am trying to figure out how to adjust the "Mary Jane" pattern for her. They are all new at toe up socks..but most of them have done cuff down socks. Can someone suggest how to "reduce" the number of stitches from 60 (she can fit both feet in one of those puppies) to a smaller amount. My feet use 54 so I folded the middle of the pattern to have the correct number of stitches, although I don't know if that will "mess up" the pattern. I may have bit off more than I can chew! I also use the widdershin heel so I am unfamiliar with this "wrap" stuff. Is there a video showing how to do this heel? Really love these anklets since I hate doing ribbing cuffs! Thanks for any assistance you can give me.

Hi, can anyone direct me to a video on how to knit a herringbone stitch. I am totally confused by how you can knit two through the back loop and drop only the first of the two stitches!!
