I've been designing my own knitting patterns for quite some time now. I've been meaning to publish them for sale, but have yet to so much as write down notes in a single place for partially completed projects. Trying to figure out which pattern is in which notebook, and how much I really finished designing before beginning to knit it...lets just say I've lost track of how many times I've re-designed sweaters from a gauge swatch because I couldn't find the original design.
I work full time and am a student at University of Phoenix, PLUS am moving in to a beautiful house with my lovely future wife, so who knows how much time I will actually HAVE. But it's a start.
I'll be offering a few patterns for free, and taking notes on my designs and design process. The first pattern will be a variation of Ruth's Socks from Ravelry. Original pattern: http://web.archive.org/web/20071217101639/http://www.knitlist.com/98gift/ruthssocks.htm
I'm using two colors, different yarn, single stranded not double, different increases, same basic heel but done a little differently, and adding a stripe. I hope that's different enough! If not, well, then credit where credit is due.
It starts out with two skeins of MacAusland's 3 ply worsted and a set of five US size 8 double pointed needles. Cascade 220 should be roughly equivalent I believe.
You can also look forward to my Incredibly Lacey Cardigan, Pinkie Pie Fingerless Gloves, a pattern for Daisy's Fingerless Funeral Gloves (story behind those), Karen's Canadian Shawl, Cindy's Japanese Mystery Scarf, and a turtle neck super-long-sleeved cardigan that is so far unnamed among many others. Some are finished, some are WIP's, and one is not yet designed.
