Baby Sailor Suits - Creating A Baby
Sailor Suit Knitting
Pattern Can Be Done
Perhaps the
greatest thing about knitting is that you are
only limited by your own imagination and skills. The good news is that
your
skills can be constantly improved which means your limitations are
continuously
getting smaller. As a knitter, I love to knit (good thing or I would
need to
find a different hobby). Unfortunately while I have a great deal of
creative
spark, I'm not very good at visualizing a finished project and making
the
mental leap from point A to point B. In other words, I couldn't make a
baby
sailor suit knitting pattern if my very soul depended on it.
Fortunately
for me, there are countless software programs
that can assist me in this pursuit. The Sweater Wizard version 3 can be
found
for around $90 at http://www.software4knitting.com/. This software
allows you
to design your very own sweater pattern according to your personal size
and
gauge specifications, complete with text instructions. This software is
especially
interesting for those who need to make patterns fit different sized
people
within a family.
More software
that would work well for those of us who
don't really wish to make our own knitting patterns can be found at:
http://www.cochenille.com/gs.html. This software, called Garment Styler
allows
you to create your own knitting patterns in addition to patterns for
sewing
garments as well. It is a nice feature to have if you are going to
spend a lot
of time designing patterns for knitting and sewing. The price tag is
$85 for
the regular version and an upgrade is available for $90 if you have the
regular
version.
Even if a baby sailor suit
knitting pattern isn't on the
immediate horizon for projects you would like to do, you have to admit
that the
idea you could even do that with knitting is amazing. For those of you
who are
interested in learning how to make your own knitting patterns, I
suggest
getting involved in a local knitting circle. These circles can be very
educational as far as pattern sources, pattern sharing, and helping
members
learn new knitting techniques as well as how to write their own
patterns.
