I would VERY much like to have a pattern for the bias cable scarf on knitting daily tv. Is there a source for the pattern--paid or free?  I know of five other knitters that would like to make this. Thanks so much.

Kristin - Thank you so much for showing the technique used on the vintage potholder.  I am an avid crocheter, but could never figure out how these were put together.   My mother-in-law gave me one several years ago and I look at it from time to time.....just trying to get the pattern.  I will definitely add this design to my collection.

I thought someone on episode #808 said that the bias cable scarf pattern was on the web site.  I'd sure love to have it

I think I found the Bias scarf. Interweave knits 2011...

Look on Ravelry for the scarf...Bias Cable Scarf, then look at this one, Quixote Scarf. If you read the comments I believe it is in this book!

Wouldn't it be nice if they would put the scarf pattern on the website? I've emailed and they don't have it. Too bad

I also expected the pattern to be here. I guess we'll just have to "wing it"!

Crochet Corner Potholders - Kristin, instead of starting on the outside edge of the filet square and working to the center, begin in the middle square and work outward around.  You will find it much to see where you are going and where you  have been.   You will find it more enjoyable to crochet.

Love your show.

The Quixote Scarf, that was pictured as the cable bias scarf that Eunny was knitting (she states only on a smaller version so it looks slightly different)  --I see some resembelance but--Eunny does not knit it according to the same directions as in the pattern, I purchased it and she is very different.  Could you please  have her explain the pattern, or is there a way to get help with a pattern from you?  Something is just off.   And does anyone really monitor your posts or are they just a way to vent? Or flatter, whichever.  Many people are very interested in this project and many are very confused with good reason!

I'd really like the pattern for the beaded scarf in the Quick Tip segment in this segment.  Any ideas?
