I finished the dragon...
I'm quite happy with it. It was a challenge of a knit, but not undoable.
I have some thinking to do before I attempt it again, though. And yes, I'm going to attempt it again. I don't know what I'm going to put it on, but I want to wear this or carry it somehow.
The pattern... I don't like the way the pattern was written. But this is a me problem.
The instructions were all there. It was just all the flipping through pages and checking stitches and such. I would love to have a good chart that I could just prop up so I wouldn't have to pick up a page every few stitches, but that's just a matter of situating things.
And it did come with a chart. I attempted to use the chart. But I could not get my head around it.
Like I said, a me problem.
Now that I know how the thing works, it'll be easier to do a second time. And I can anticipate some of the problems I had before.
But first I need to figure out where I'm going to use the design.
It's really nice, you did a great job!
ReplyDeleteHow cool! It came out great. Nice work :)
ReplyDeleteIt's cool! Glad you're going to use it again.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job with this! It looks great and I love the colour! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's good you will be able to use it again even if the instructions were complex!
Hope that your week is off to a good start :)
Away From The Blue
I just don't know what to use it for. I'll have to figure that out first.
DeleteIt's beautiful! And I am so impressed at the speed you accomplished this in - this project must have gotten its hooks (no pun intended) into you.
ReplyDeleteIt's not like I've got anything else going on at the moment, so I could devote my full attention to it.
DeleteIt's beautiful
ReplyDeleteThis is great! It could easily be on a sweater, hung up in a frame and Harry Potter fans etc...would love this design
ReplyDeleteBut what sweater? It's something to think about.
DeleteHi Liz - well done ... love the colour too. Cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteSo cool. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteBorder it and turn it into a knee rug. It looks great.
ReplyDeleteI am not an expert this field. But your work looks very nice. :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, it's really beautiful! Well done, looks very tricky. Could be pretty as a bag.
ReplyDeleteThat is very cool! I can't think of where to put it, though. On the back of a sweater? Or the front?
ReplyDeleteBack. I mean, it could work on a front, but I think it'd be cooler on the back.
DeleteThat's amazing! If you can work in some colors I would totally purchase this. :) You are a true artist.
ReplyDeleteWork in some colors, how?
DeleteWow! That turned out awesome!! I love it! How difficult would it be for you could incorporate some Celtic designs?
ReplyDeleteThat depends. I assume there are stitch patterns already existing. I would not be able to crate Celtic designs in knit on my own. (Not familiar enough with them.)
