X-and-Diamond is a simple knit purl combination suitable for ganseys. If you are working on your first design project, this would like nice placed across the chest of a man’s sweater, or as border just after the ribbing.
I’ll be alternating this pattern with “Welted Leaf Pattern” when knitting Jim’s sweater.
I was supposed to cast on last night, but we got too rowdy with the inlaws. Maybe today? The family is threatening to make me watch a Bears game; I can get a lot of knitting done during that!
The knitting chart for this stitch pattern is shown to the right.
I bet you’re wondering how I’m creating these nice clear charts? I bought “Stitch Visualizer ” yesterday. The program is available for both Mac and PC from Knit Foundry. I’m finding it very easy to use, but also joined the Knit Visualizer Users Group, which is run by Nancy Walsh who wrote Stitch Visualizer. I’m sure if I run into any problems, she can answer them!

oh, we used to do that in primary school. we, my friends and me, hated knitting. we thought it´s only for girls and our teachers just wanted to see how we cope with it…
