I saw this purse in Interweave Knits Fall 2012 issue (not sure of the legalities of posting pics that are not my own, so I'll keep to posting links).
I'm not a big fan of doing color work, but then I saw that the myriad of color changes were achieved using only two different variegated yarns.
Curious, I figured I'd give it a try.
The pattern called for a new cast on. I read through the instructions. They might as well have been in Greek for all the sense they made. I read them, attempted to do as instructed...
(Those instructions are actually a bit better than the ones in the magazine. If I could post what was in the magazine, you'd see how impossible those instructions really are. If I had had access to these, I might have been able to do it. Lots of pictures helps.)
After 20 minutes of attempts, I realized there was no way I was going to figure it out. That's when I realized that there is another tool at my disposal: YouTube.
Why couldn't they just say this in the first place?
(Ain't technology grand? And that cast on is way cool--once I could see how it was done.)

I don't know what most of this means, but I admire your talent.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, technology is way cool. You and Andrew Leon are on opposite sides of that coin today, though.
I also admire your talent.
