An English Adventure – Day 1

I managed to finish the wrap before I started making my version of Horst Schulz’s African Adventure.

Yesterday was the first day of the World Snooker Tournament and the first day of my new knitting adventure.  I sorted out the Kureyon on the floor in front of the TV and then made a start.

I have decided to make much larger modules than in the African Adventure and I am using 6.5mm needles so that the throw won’t be too heavy. 

The first shape is shown below:

 This is the second shape:

Then they were knitted together:

I then picked up stitches and knitted modules on the sides:

This completes one section – I have decided to do it like this rather than use egg-timer shapes.   I am now knitting the second section separately – and will join them together with the third section.  I intend to do as little sewing as possible.  And I am not going to leave my ends until last – I am weaving them in when I complete a section.
