The problem is that there are not that many patterns or books available. I have been getting frustrated buying books that have MAYBE one pattern I can use and usually are not really what I had in mind.
So the next step I guess is to start creating my own patterns. I played around with a few different attempts and ideas and have now settled down with a fairly simple crocheted sweater. The pattern has a knit version done in a garter stitch that I am trying to imitate with a Tunisian Purl stitch. I have found that a detailed diagram of the garment with measurements is necessary so that the pieces of or the garment itself will be shaped and sized correctly.
I will post pictures Friday and explain my progression in more detail.
I too am jewish and love to create things with fiber. I like reading about what you make and like of others. I'd love to talk with you further. Shana.
