It is knitted in Debbie Bliss
Rialto sock yarn as the main colour with 3 shades of Isager – blue, mauve and
burgundy. It is interesting how these
colours look different as the background colour changes
I sort of made up the pattern –
based on a photo I saw in the latest Designer Knitting magazine and a Noro
jumper pattern which has a back and front in this kind of cross-hatching
effect. I started with a triangle at the
top and then increased 7 sts on each piece (one on each garter stitch ridge). I think if I did something similar again I
would increase more stitches and maybe turn it into a curl.
At several points during the
knitting process I was worried that it would not turn out very well – but actually
I am fairly happy with it. I just need
to block it and then it will be ready to wrap.
I may not get much knitting done
this coming week – but I still have that scarf to finish and then I am going to
start something new.
