Who's a HausFrau?

 Many years ago had a pattern for Hausfrau slippers, made from garter stitch squares.  Then found similar patterns using 6, 7 or 8 squares.  The 6 have low sides, the 8 have "jester" points.  I used up a further 16 diamonds (for the pair) in making these.  Now on the quest for more diamond patterns - slightly hampered by the fact I always use 41sts to start, and build up quite a quantity of them.  So items are not deisgened from scratch, but more in the "use what you have" line.  Perhaps more bags, if I can sort out handles.

Slight progress made

 Found this title on 30 May - can't think what it referred to!

Diamonds are forever

 

  ... but only because I am forever knitting them!  Having made four blankets now, I am hesitating on a fifth (two are in use in the lounge, numbers 3 and 4 are sitting upstairs waiting for new owners)..  I have got a giant cushion, which I was planning on covering crosswise .  The difficulty is that based on a multiple of four diamonds it is going to squash the inner, based on five it  might be too big.  The former would take 64 squares, the latter 100 - a huge difference.  But 100 it had to be,  Here is the result.
