For a long time I've drooled over entrelac patterns, but thought they were beyond me. Basically you knit a series of triangles and squares and they all fit together to form your project. When I first saw this, I thought each square was knit individually and then seamed together. I loved the look but it wasn't something I wanted to take on because I hate seaming. When I found out it was just picking up stitches I thought I can do that, but it still took me years to even try it.
I'm knitting dish clothes for a girl scout fundraiser and using this as an opportunity to learn new skills and try out the patterns I've been wanting to try for a long time. Turns out entrelac isn't as hard as I thought it was, just takes some getting used to.

Looks interesting - I'm going to have a go. Well, what else is there to do on a grey Thursday in January? More shopping?? No way.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing this, I found your blog through a google images search. Love the colours in the top entrelac scarf! How did it turn out? Can you tell us which yarn you used/link to ravelry project page? Thanks in advance.
ReplyDeleteI've done two entrelac cowls since then. See http://ravel.me/BH-CraftJunkie/zn and http://ravel.me/BH-CraftJunkie/zn2
