I made a calorimetry too...

[damekiri]

 

I got a stray skein of noro silk garden in 225 (my lys puts them at half price if she only has one or two left of that dye lot. Thankfully that happens fairly frequently hehe!), so I bought it and didn't know what to do with it, so I crocheted a diary cover that I thought was kinda dull. Then I realised I should knit one of these, after seeing other people's, so frogged the diary cover, re-wound it and voila! Although how anyone can knit this in an hour I don't know! It took me like ten hours! But, I like it

 

*eta I actually learned to knit before I learned to crochet, and I used to be reasonably fast/good, but since learning to crochet and foregoing all others (ie knitting), I have become slow and rubbish haha so I thought it should go into the beginner knitters forum, despite having once knitted one lace sock. Hahaha!

I love it! Wish I had a stray ball of Noro laying around

[shortylam]

I wish the LYS in my city has Noro, period!

Oooh, pretty!

 

Watch out though...these are highly addicting to knit! I think I have made 6 so far! LOL

Ok, I am making my first one and I forgot to start counting the first fifteen rows. I do not want to frog it...what should I do? I have a hard time counting the ribs.

[karebear]

Oh never mind, I got it figured out when I read the next step (or two). Almost done now...had to take a break...finger cramping.

Ok, I give... what is a " calorimetry"?

 

 

 

Edited to add: nevermind - I found it.

 

This is similar to the Panta - which I love - but is done the other way.

Thank you Darski, I was just about to ask the same thing. I tried and tried to tell from the pix, but I can't quite make it out.

[stitchgirl]

Ok, but what is a Panta? Is that a dumb question?

[stitchgirl]

So I guess this is it, right? http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter06/PATTcalorimetry.html

[karebear]

Yes that is it. I finished mine last night. Going to take some pictures in a little while. I did mess up a little though (because of counting) but it will still work. I am going to make another one. But I think that I am going to find some different yarn for it.

That is the 2nd to last page of the thread and has some pics of the Headband style hat. it is a great pattern and very easy to make up. The good news is that you don't need a button.

 

if you look for a post by Melosond on the page in the link below, you can find her version of the pattern... once you make one you can do it without a pattern.

That pattern was all the rage 2 years ago and the more than 100,000 views will attest.
