I took this yarn...
...that I blogged about almost a month ago, and I began swatching. Then I knit a garter stitch bottom and attached a moss stitch kind of border...
...but while taking this picture, I measured this against the tote bag. It'll stretch, but it's smaller than I anticipated. I think I need to rip this whole thing out and start again.
I don't really have any good project ideas. And I need a take along project for Saturdays. So, this is it for now. Since I don't actually have need for this thing, it can take as long as it takes. Or until I find something else to work on.
At some point, I'll switch yarns and patterns, so I swatched a cable pattern that may or may not end up on this.
I'm not even at half a pattern repeat yet, so it doesn't look like anything. But that's okay. I'm playing right now. Just seeing what'll work.
I may get a project out of this. I may set it all aside and do something else. But it's something to keep my hands busy. For that, it's working perfectly.
It doesn't look like anything, but it will grow into something beautiful, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about beautiful, but it'll grow into something.
DeleteI think it will be beautiful. ~nods~ Best wishes!
DeleteIt's great that you're just playing and experimenting with the yarn and patterns.
ReplyDeleteI have always been impressed at the skill it takes to do what you do. Well done!
ReplyDeleteHopefully something fun will hit you this week. Maybe more critters?
ReplyDeleteThat'd be fun.
DeleteIt's interesting to see what you'll make next.
ReplyDeleteI really like that color in the cable pattern!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I can't remember what I bought the skein for originally. I think it was mittens or something.
DeleteGood to have busy hands. Both colors are pretty.
ReplyDeletethecontemplativecat here. I love the rose project.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteHi Liz - I like the cable pattern and that colour - cerise - glad you can keep your hands happy - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteI like he stitch on the second photo!
ReplyDeleteHopefully you'll like it better when all the cabling is done and it actually looks like something.
DeletePicking a project is the trickiest part ;) The start of the cables looks great. Will you knit a celtic pattern?
