Knitting a Garter for a bride

By -


The Knitting Calendar was a thoughtful gift Al received. I found a pattern in JUNE, because I had to flip through the whole thing right away, that I need. My neice has asked me to knit her wedding garter. I said sure before finding this pattern. phew. I think I'll knit it in something wonderful for her, like angora. The pattern calls for fixation. What do you think?

Kim asked for the Ruffled Roses Scarf pattern. If you go to anniemodesitt.com she will point you towards a knit shop where you can purchase the pattern. She's promoting knitters get out to their LYS and show support.

I am having some template issues right now. Sorry the sidebar isn't showing. I hope to fix this soon.




Please leave me your email or blog so I can thank you for your comment.

I never in a million years would have thought you could find a pattern for a bridal garter!!! But you know, I think there's a pattern for everything. Can't wait to see it all knit up!!

Sidebar is back and looks good!! :)

{waving wildly} Hi Kathy!!!

We miss you at Group!! I hope your holidays were wonderful and somewhat peaceful!

As for the Garter, Angora would be wonderful on the skin, but I'm afraid you might need the elastic in the Fixation to hold it up.... Maybe you can do some drop stitches in the middle and weave a piece of 1/2 inch elastic through? Or maybe put it in a pink satin sleeve and then weave it through? OR! Maybe I'm getting a little out of hand here....just maybe. I'm just thinking the fixation will give you some staying power. Smooches to you!

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
