I know you all probably think I forgot about this project, although after my last post, you can see why I got a little sidetracked. But Elizabeth is still knitting Barbara, and I hope to make alot of progress on this in 2017. Hope you enjoy the latest installment!
A Treasury of Knitting Patterns – p. 12 Broken Rib Pattern (top) Double Broken Rib (bottom)
Yarn Weight: DK Needles: Size 6
Notes: I got a little curl along the sides, as you can see, but I think these are both beautiful options for a project like a sweater, where there is a seam on each side.
A Treasury of Knitting Patterns – p. 13 Roman St (top) Roman Rib St (bottom)
Yarn Weight: DK Needles: Size 6
Notes: Definitely nice patterns, but would definitely need a border if you want to avoid curl.
A Treasury of Knitting Patterns – p. 13 Ripple St
Yarn Weight: DK Needles: Size 9
Notes: I wasn’t sure if this would curl or not, so I started out with a garter st border, and ended without a border. It doesn’t curl and as you can see at the top, it makes a pretty curved edging. I happened to use a variegated yarn, but I probably wouldn’t again with this pattern, as I think the variegation hides the beautiful texture of this stitch pattern.

Yarn Weight: Worsted Needles: Size 9
Notes: This is a beautiful teal color, which turned out to be difficult to photograph well, so my apologies. But this stitch pattern gives a thick, plush fabric and seems to work very well in a solid-colored yarn. It gives no curl at all, so you can use it as a stand-alone stitch pattern.
