Any knitters?
I now need an aran knit cardigan pattern for a man . I finally was able to find
the oiled wool today and now can start this xmas present if someone can find me a pattern. Does no one knit any more? No knitting shops or hardly any yarn out there today which really shocked me. |

We have a very nice yarn shop in my hometown. I'm not much of a knitter but
she has some of the most delicious yarns!! "BDS2pds" wrote in message ... I now need an aran knit cardigan pattern for a man .

If you are looking for freebies, check www.lionbrand.com (free patterns,
knit, adult). If you want to buy, check www.elann.com, www.knitpicks.com, www.patternworks.com, or try google. Ann "BDS2pds" wrote in message ... I now need an aran knit cardigan pattern for a man .

God bless you Ann.
The fisherman's wool made by Lion is what I got and they do have a pattern online but it is for a woman. Can I use that? Ann |

I don't know why not! Just use the appropriate chest measurement (be sure to
include ease!) Ann "BDS2pds" wrote in message ... God bless you Ann. The fisherman's wool made by Lion is what I got and they do have a pattern online but it is for a woman. Can I use that? Ann |

Of course you can , just check the measurements of the future reciever
and remember that if there are buttons they should be on the other side ....mirjam God bless you Ann. The fisherman's wool made by Lion is what I got and they do have a pattern online but it is for a woman. Can I use that? Ann |

You might try googling the rec.crafts.textiles.yarn group. They know an awful
lot of places to shop. Meanwhile, I came across this one. http://www.knitting-crochet.com/menkni.html Pretty plain, but it's free. I like Vogue knitting. Their site has a good links page. http://www.vogueknitting.com/ I haven't knit very much recently, although I am beginning to think I should start up again. I've been looking at a pattern in alpaca wool for the past 10 years or so, and think I might just do it after I use up some of my yarn scraps. Which requires me to sort my yarns, of course.

No knitting shops or hardly any yarn
out there today which really shocked me. I thought you were in the Metro DC area, in which case there are definately some yarn shops. But if patterns are all you are after you can try a library, a google search for "Knitting Patterns + Aran" will definately give you some patterns to look at. Also Knitters Magazine and Vogue Knitting are available in most large chain bookstores. Because arans are classic, you can usually find one or two patterns per issue.

No I am down in Williamsburg.
I spent the evening searching for another pattern thinking it did look girly and no pockets which are always in mens sweaters. No luck. It is out of vogue likely but I will persevere and with all of your help find one soon hopefully. I was told yesterday that you take his chest measurement and add 8 inches to get your finished product. Does that soundright to you? I won't have his body to model it on as I work here and don't want to embarass myself this christmas! |
