A knitting design query!
Okay here goes... I'm asking a question of which I have no knowledge of. It
is in regards to knitting. As some of you might be aware I have a yahoo group for Male Stitchers and one of our Knitting Male Stitchers came up with a question that no one can really help him on. He's looking for knitting designs of Dragons (or anything mythological). Are there such "ainimals"? Does any one have an idea where I might suggest he go to try to find out. I, so far, suggested www.about.com and check out the stichers sections and then even try to ask for advise there but then I thought since this is such a vast group with vast stitching abilities someone might have an answer that I could forward to him.... CAN anyone help, PLEASE... Thanks Marc (you can either answer here or at my personal email) -- http://community.webshots.com/user/needlemania http://www.cyberstitchers.com/Galler...=1065918331265 |

I know such a thing does exist because I made one many years ago. I've been
trying to remember where I found the instructions but so far I'm coming up blank. I suggest that you post this message to rec.crafts.textiles.yarn newsgroup. I'm think someone on that newsgroup might be able to help you. Lucille wrote in message ... Okay here goes... I'm asking a question of which I have no knowledge of. It is in regards to knitting.

Enchanted Knitting ( Catharine Cartwright-Jones/Roy Jones, same authors, I
believe, as Tap-Dancing Lizard) has a Tibetan Dragon, something called "gripping beast" that is similar to Celtic animal figures. These are rather elaborate single color designs. There's a very simple cartoonish fire-breather in Patons 499 (Knit Menagerie). www.lionbrand.com has Enchanted Knitting, as does amazon.com Ann. wrote in message ... Okay here goes...

Sorry, don't think I've seen any. I have a Dover book of Saxon Transylvanian
cross stitch that has some dragon designs in it - I'm not quite sure where it got to, possibly the last garage sale sucked it up. The designs were quite simple, and I used a dragon (or maybe it was a lion) in the yoke of a circular knit sweater for a friend several years ago. One caution, knitting squares are taller and narrower than cross stitch squares. But no one checks the anatomical proportions of a dragon anyway. Anyway, I second the suggestion you post in the yarn group. They know a lot of pattern sites. Dora |

Tap-Dancing Lizard BRBR
What ever happened to them? They used to have a great site, with thematic free patterns adapted for cross stitch, knitting, and bead weaving. It was fascinating to see how they would take a standard motif -- the Green Man, say -- and adapt it for the three techniques, adding and subtracting based on the strengths and limitations of the technique.

He's looking for knitting
designs of Dragons (or anything mythological). BRBR He could get a cross stitch chart of dragons and use a duplicate stitch to work the dragons. To find dragon charts go to www.hoffmandis.com and click on "online reference catalog" then enter "dragons" as a key word. Now if he wants to knit a dragon toy, sorry I can't help, but he could always try google. Boo |

Marc,
Dover has several pages for books with dragon designs on their website doverpublications.com including stencils and colouring books. Some include other mythological creatures. Ebay is another possibility but if you find something check half bay, the prices are usually better. The older craft magazines had dragon designs from time to time. Is there a particular style that he is looking for? There is a listing for Rugs and Wall Hangings by Maggie Lane on ebay. The dragon is quite large and my copy is in NJ. If you'd like to see it we'll be up and back within the next 2 weeks and you could take a look at it. I'm sure I'll need something from Stitches That count.
