TO be totally honest with you, I was going to post some newer original things in celebration of the knitlist move, but my computer died a HUGE death (go make backups tonight...right now...flee run go do it...) and i haven't been able to access anything. ICOSH: Booties and socks.... ALl these patterns are either my original things or in the public domain (as I understand it...more than 75 years old)...and where I can, they are credited. Feel free to enjoy and distribute if you like... (I suppose that is a bit of egoism, assuming that you LIKE what I 'unvented') (With deeply bowed head in respect to the mother of all, EZ :) [Editor's note: I've split these patterns out into different files, leaving the headers and footers intact.] [...] ____________________________________________________________________________ 2 Stitch cable bootie socks on 2 needles (original) Materials: Baby/fingering yarn 50 gm ball (1 3/4 oz) #3 (US) needles (3 1/4 mm) Gauge: 7 1/2 sts per inch CO 45 sts Row 1: *K2, P7 across (right side) Row 2: *K7, P2 across (wrong side) ROw 3: *C2L, P7 across (slip 1 st to cable needle and hold in front, K1, then knit from cable needle) Row 4: *K7, P2 across Pattern for 2 1/2".

Also, any feedback or questions on my (admittedly) vague instructions is encouraged (nay, solicited). I certainly would not say that any of the above 'original' patterns is sufficiently complex that they haven't been 'unvented' many many times...enjoy...post freely...and if i am wrong about the copyright thing, omit the last pattern if you repost these anywhere.
