Jayne Style DS Cozy
Yep here's the Pattern Free to ya'll whom I love, which is the entire online knitting community. If you don't love me back then you will probably leave a nasty comment so before you get the chance a big frak you to you buddy and I hope you get a visit from a knitting terrorist!! Now to the pattern
Jayne Style DS Cozy
This pattern came to mind after finishing a Jayne Cobb hat. The hat was WAY too big and I needed something to knit with some of the yarn. I was already on a double knit kick from the Jayne Hat so why the heck not?
The JS DS Cozy is double knitted (knit with 2 strands at the same time) flat (not in the round) then seamed up on one side and the bottom edge.
What do you need?
Easy dude!
1 -skein Red Heart Super Saver yarn in Yellow
1 -skein Red Heart Super Saver yarn in Orange
1 Pair of size 13 needles
1 tapestry needle or crochet hook (which ever you prefer to use to seam)
Magnetic fastener
Abbreviations
K - Knit
P - Purl
sts - stitches
SSK - Slip purlwise 2 stitches then knit the two through the back of the loop
K2tog - Knit 2 stitches together
MC - Main color (Orange)
2C - Second Color (yellow)
The Pattern
Holding 2 strands of MC yarn Cast on 30 stitches using long tail cast on method
Double knit on 13’s
CO 30 stitches
Purl first row
Stockinette stitch for 10 rows in one color
Stockinette stitch for 7 rows in the 2nd color
Bind off 15 sts
decrease rows:
-k2tog, k to last 2 sts, SSK
-Purl row
Repeat decrease rows until 5 sts remain
Bind off
Seam up one side and you are done till you put a closure device onto it. ;-)
Closure Ideas:
-Magnetic Closure with a pom-pom attached
-Button Just give a tug to the flap edgin to create button hole and sew button onto the body.
If you have any other suggestions for easy closures please include them! Also if you find any probs with the pattern let me know and I'll adjust. Please show me your version!! I would love to see them!!
This is my first published on the net pattern so be kind.
XOXOXO

Ah Vacation over That stinks!!!
I had a blast doing the vacation thing last week. Lots of fun!! Most of it wasn't planned too far in advance which I kind of like. ;-) I got out! Yes folks! I left my apartment! LOL
I must confess, not much knitting was accomplished.
Six Flags was great! Sym and I hit the coasters and had a ball! We didn't get to Ride the Batman nor the Superman rides. There's still enough summer to plan that trip hopefully. ;o)
I needed to have had another person or 2 with us to actually take pics of us on the roller coasters. Maybe next trip. Sym and I had a blast! We hit Monster Plantation which you may or may not know is like one of the oldest rides there, i think. Sure does look like it. See even the pic is grainy like those old antique photos. They really need to clean up the animatronics.
Also I got to go out like an adult for once! Wow! I went to see Caddle at a local bar. They are a B-ham band that's pretty good. They are definately a "Live Band". They tell stories on stage, that were quite funny. Here's their website if you are interested. They claim to be country rock alternative. I think they are rock with a twang. ;-)
Also I went to see Blind Melon on Wednesday. They have a new lead singer, Travis Wilson, who sounds just like Shannon Hoon but has his own groove too. Here's a video clip my friend Brian took at the show.
See!! He does sound like Shannon doesn't he?
Thursday was Tubing with the Pizza Hut gang!!!! There's this place called Limestone Park down in the middle of nowhere. You pay the guy $10 bucks, he hands you an tube, and gives you a ride into the middle of his pasture and drops you off by a river. You get on the tube and float down the river. You can buy a cooler tube for $5 to haul your beer, snacks or non alcoholic bevs too. (I prefer beer personally) IT was awesome. I have been waiting 8 years to go! You go over 3 sets of rapids. Lukily Sym and I both got away with minimal scratches. Dude if you have never been you should go. At least once in your life. The last time I went I was pregnant with Sym. Yeah I was a prego dare devil. >:-) he he
Friday & Saturday Was All with the fam!! Sym and I hung out with my relatives from Virginia, grandparents, aunts and uncles and COUSINS!! My God I didn't realize how many cousins I have now. It's getting up to the 20's just from that clan!! I love them all dearly! I brought back memories of being the kid and playing in the same spots my daughter was. It is so weird to be the adult. You know? My grandfather tripped me out! He taught Sym how to drive his Kabota lawn mower. Do you realize that when I was a kid we were instructed never to touch the lawn mower under any circumstance. (we were allowed to play in his boat though. LOL) And here he is teachin Sym how to drive it!! I was jealous, just a little. ;-)
Sunday was knit day. My buddy Mary came over with her angel Alayna. We knitted, the kids played then my butt went to bed. LOL
That about sums up the entire week off. I hope ya'll enjoyed!
Here's Sym drivin the Lawnmower. It is about as big as she is!
