After months of struggling – I
have finally finished the duck feet that my work colleague requested for her
baby.
When she asked me if I could knit
her some duck feet – I said – “yes” – I mean - how hard can it be?! I downloaded the pattern. It is
a design by Jeny Staiman and has very comprehensive instructions. The question is – what do they mean?! I think the pattern is actually very good –
the problem is that I am not a sock knitter so most of it is written in a
foreign language. If you are a sock
knitter – you will think it is OK.
Having said that I found the
pattern hard and the duck feet have taken me months to knit – I have managed to
knit them. I don’t think I knitted them exactly correctly
– but it is close enough.
I am now back to knitting
something much more to my taste – a modular knitted cardigan – which I started
last December. When I have finished that
– it will have taken even longer than the duck feet – not because it is
difficult – but because I have been knitting other things and haven’t touched
it at all since last December.
