Subject: Knit:  KNIT Free patterns

Hiya guys...  I posted these to the 'little' list back in March.  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.]

Spiral sockies (original)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Materials: 1 Skein Sport wt. yarn
	   Sz 1 and 3 US needles (dpns)

   Using #1 needles co 36 sts, divide onto 3 needles and join, being 
careful not to twist sts. Rib in K2P2 for 2".
   Change to #3 needles and continue in spiral pattern (follows) 

Spiral Pattern:
Round 1 P1 *K2P2 for round, ending K2P1
Round 2 as round 1

2) knit even

Repeat above 2 rows until 12 sts remain, then K2 tog for 1 round...break off
yarn and thread through rem. sts. fasten off inside.
NB with these little tube socks i don't pay attention to gauge...


[...]

Sorry this is so long...if anyone wants me to post these privately, let
me know...or I could continue to deluge you guys with freebies :)  Let me
know.  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.

				Best regards,
