Paton's Evening Belle

I got 10 balls of black Evening Belle in a charity shop last week but have
been unable to find any patterns for this, or indeed any information at all.
I tried knitting a swatch with 5 1/2mm needles (as on band) to see if I
could use a Dune pattern (same needles recommended). However, the Evening
Belle was a LOT bigger than the Dune.

Does anyone know where I might find a pattern for the evening belle. I
would like to make a plain short sleeved top, with minimum shaping (so I can
knit and watch TV etc).

Thanks

Yes, I have looked thanks. But I was rather hoping for something
specifically for the Evening Belle. However, it does seem to knit up
bigger than it is supposed to. Maybe that is why it was in the charity
shop!! I may end up making a shawl when the exact size does not matter.

Thank you, Pascale, for posting this link. I've never run across it and it
looks very useful. I've gone ahead and bookmarked it! :-)

Margaret, I found these patterns on Bidville.com and Yahoo auctions

http://www.bidville.com/listings/det...emnum=11342208

http://auctions.yahoo.com/i:Patons%2...96:23335 3339

The auctions are ending soon !

Thanks. I have looked at them but unfortunately both patterns are knitted
with other wools, thus leading to a search for wools to match them.

Thanks for the help

YarnWright spun a FINE 'yarn':

I don't understand the obsession with finding a pattern 'written' for a
particular yarn? I've used any yarn with any pattern, and via MATH and
SWATCHING, have made some "gawjus" items....

I mean, that's like buying a sewing pattern and only using the material
pictured??? (wierd) OR, only using the colors pictured in a knit/crochet
pattern? (even more wierd)

Agreed, in a way. But, this is a yarn I have never used before, it is a
string with square slubs on it, and I must admit I found it difficult to
knit at all. So I thought a pattern using the wool might help. It may
well end up back at the charity shop.
