A Dragon Skin of her own

Posted in Dragon Skin Wrap, Pattern Writing, Test Knitter, Wyvern Wrap, on 28 July 2008 - 6:14pm

Until now,  the Wyvern pattern has been lacking photos of its own sample garment, instead substituting a photo of the Dragon Skin child's sweater-- a less-than-satisfactory alternative, I admit.  No longer!  My first attempt at hiring a Test Knitter has proven a success:  not only do I now have a Wyvern in Size Small, but I have several insightful suggestions for improving the clarity and knitter-friendliness of the pattern (thanks, Terry!).  Happily, I have no further errata to report, but I have already modified the pattern text slightly, and as soon as I can get some modeled photos, I will be emailing an updated version of the pattern to all those who have previously purchased it.

Thanks for posting this! It is a wonderful garment. Can you please put up some more pics, either here or in Ravelry? It's been in my queue for a long time, but I have been waiting to start it to see your FO and how it fits - armhole depth, width of sweater, etc.I think your designs are all fantastic, so I know I should take it on faith, but modeled garments are a big help in deciding size, yarn, etc.Thanks for this post!

Hi, I don't know if this is the right place to ask my question. `but I am DESPERATE!!!!!!! I purchases the Dragon Skin Pattern (Childrens Version) from inerweave. I cannot understand the graph, as some of the abreveations have not been included, I have been back to Interweave, who, where not much help, passing me on to anothersite. Do you have this pattern written out row by row? (Not a Graph). Do you have the instructions for the british a market? Some of the instructions are alien to the UK. Could you PLEASE help a loney old knitter for UK? Thanks for you help, I would love to knit this for my Granddaughter, but fear she will be grown up before I understand it let alone knit it. Regards Jenny Garner

Jenny, I hope you see this reply since you did not give me an email address with which to contact you.  I do not have the Dragon Skin pattern written out row by row, but if you contact me via email at knititude@gmail.com, and give me a list of the instructions and abbreviations that you don't understand, I will try to help you. Regards, Angela Hahn
