I worked off and on all day on the Indian Corn stole but didn’t get it finished :( The good news is that the end is definitely in sight and it should be completed sometime this weekend. Am I going to bore you with pictures of it still unfinished? You bet :)
I guess that name is going to stick. It surfaced in my noggin as a useful way to refer to it while it was still in progress but I hadn’t been thinking of using it as a permanent moniker because the reference is all to the colors. This will be more like a set of guidelines than a real pattern (much like the Lace Mohair Blanket) and I am loathe to suggest or even imply that this is the only set of acceptable hues. I guess I’ll just have to bear that in mind when I write up the process :)
The scarf is better than halfway done and has been as enjoyable a project this time as it was the first. I think I’m going to block this one a little differently. The first scarf suffered some slight distortion of the lace motifs due to rigorous pinning. I think this time, I’ll stick to finger smoothing with, perhaps, an occasional, gently placed pin just to even out the sides to see if I can keep the lace from skewing.
See the “Knitting Chatter” button on the side bar for more information.
Drop by for a while if you’re in the neighborhood!
And have a wonderful weekend!
No trackbacks yet.
Wow, you’ve been busy. It’s all looking so beautiful though. Can’t wait to see the “Indian Corn” when it’s done!
They’re both so gorgeous! You’re the Entrelac Queen!
Wild Thyme - Well, I should be posting with the finished item early next week. Believe it or not, the technique is simplicity itself - it’s the combination of colors that makes things lively :)
Thanks Opal! I know I must be getting waaay boring with the entrelac, but what can I say? For the moment, it remains fascinating to me.
Besides, the technnique is perfect for me who likes to make things a small piece at a time but doesn’t want to have to sew them all together :)
Looking good.
May I suggest you put a 24 hour clock on your blog somewhere that is set to your time? I might want to join Chatters sometime but I can never tell what time it would be in Sydney!! I’m sure others outside the USA would have this problem.
I don’t care what you call it. I call it Beautiful!
Indian Corn is amazing! “Bore” us wih it whenever you want.
Lynne - There’s now a clock on the side bar right under the picture of the week. It’s a 12 hour clock, but perhaps it will do? Thanks for the suggestion; it should have occurred to me before!
Chris - Thanks! I tried it on night before last and it’s going to be nice and snuggly and warm too!
Luise - That’s very kind of you. Already it is coming in handy - even though it’s not quite done yet! I can use the completed length as a blanket while I work on the unfinished end. Very convenient!
They are both looking great. It would be easy for me to fall in love with the cat lace.
Hee hee, whenever anyone says “guidelines”, in my head it is said in Geoffrey Rush’s voice.
Laura - Oh go ahead and treat yourself to the cat lace - it’s easy and fun :) Just don’t show it to Dobby!
