As a brief aside - since I am tied up with Blade Runner at present - I have turned my Dresden Dolls knitting chart (that I talked about here and here) into a PDF file, which I am more than happy to share with anyone who's interested in it. I just sent it to the Dresden Dolls as well, so maybe soon I'll be famous.
Sizes: I've made it up in 8-ply wool on UK size 8 needles (4mm), to a total size 28cm wide by 15cm high.
** Note that I've changed this pattern since I originally posted it - 21/9/05 **
I used to know how to put things on my dad's server, but I've forgotten how, am feeling time-poor and techno-incompetent, and hence, for now, the pattern is available by emailing me and asking for it: beckwise (at) student (dot) usyd (dot) edu (dot) au
When and if I get my tech issues sorted out (ie. succumb to my Luddite tendencies and get my brother to fix it all), I'll put the pattern and pictures up somewhere and remove that email address.
It's an intarsia pattern and probably most suitable for intermediate knitters, but go nuts trying. I didn't know how to do intarsia until I made up my mind to do it, drew up this chart and just knit the thing. Okay, so it was a disaster the first time, but the second one is much much better.
I'd probably suggest that, if it's your first time, make it in two colours first (ie, looking at the chart, do all the white bits in one colour and all the other bits in another colour). I'm in the process of knitting it up in three colours now and I am finding managing the threads to be a bit of a bitch. It looks fine in two anyhow.
I should add that the pattern is a perpetual work in progress, and that if it looks a little bit odd when it's knit up, tweak it a bit and let me know what you did. I've found that duplicate stitch is my friend.
