Kunststricken Waldesgrund - Herbert Niebling
I just completed my first Niebling pattern for a table runner! Woo-hoo!
I was asked to knit a table runner for a neighbor lady who has prayed constantly for my health. So it was a delight to be able to give back to her.
I knit it with 10/2 cotton on a size 000 needle. The finished dimensions are 66"x32" (bigger than planned!). It will be used as a table runner. I revised the pattern thinking I would need it bigger than it was designed but apparently even with 000 needles I am extremely loose! The pattern calls for three center diamonds and I enlarged it to five. You knit those diamonds first and then picking up the stitches around the outside of them you knit the rest of the pattern in the round. I was actually much easier than it looks - but still requires attention to each line in the chart.
The name of the pattern is from Praktische Frau Und Mutter Hefte Nr. 476 - Kunststricken Waldesgrund. (Translated is: "Practical Woman and Mother Issues No. 476 - 'Kunststricken Forest Base'")
Here's the link to my Flickr account to see the rest of the photos:

Rick, you have become such a good and true friend. While I worry about you, I am glad to see that you continue to turn out such beautiful work. I am so happy that you decided to post the photos after all. You have inspired me to give such work a try.
By the way, thank you for explaining some of the abbreviations. I asked, but was not told what a BF sweater was. I was going nuts looking for one as an example.
Looking forward to your next project. And, LOVE the photo of you and K. You handsome old pain in the behind! :-)

I'll admit this one was slow...but I find lace to generally be speedier than other knitting simply because the holes take up a lot of space! Give it another go, Kyle.

Your work is
Your work is stunning...Herbert himself would be pleased with what you made.
I love how you elongated it by adapting the pattern...great idea that Niebling used himself on a number of designs.
