LADY ELEANOR FINALLY FINISHED!

She's finished! I opted for tassels instead of a fringe in the end.

I think this is a project that won't be repeated in this format - maybe a smaller one!

YAAYYYY!!!!

I've finally finished knitting it - three minutes ago!

I have made it a lot longer than it should've been and only have a little yarn left so need to think about some sort of fringing.

I desperately wanted to get the knitting finished before I went to Kangaroo this morning but couldn't stay up anylonger tlast night!!

Just Joined

I joined this group in Ravelry, now I'm here, too - in the outside world. I adore entrelac. So I was very glad to find these groups!



















This is the hat and scarf I made for my niece for Christmas. She's cute, isn't she. The scarf is 'regular' entrelac, and the hat is my own design.















I used Nashua Wooly Stripes in the lilac colorway (I think). Jasmine says the hat is nice and warm. I tend to knit outer wear at a smaller-than-recommended gauge to make the fabric a little more dense.

My lady Eleanor

Yarn Forward Magazine

Did you know there is a brilliant entrelac bag pattern and an in depth tutorial in the latest Yarn Forward Magazine ?

This issue had some last minute problems but all that aside the content is as excellent as always.

It's well underway!

My Lady Eleanor is growing! I am on the second tier already. My kids think it's strange that I am only really on the second 'row'!

I am using Lang Mille Colori, which is lovely to work with, on 5.5mm needles.

Dodo

Oh No!!

Guess what I left in Devon?! Grrrrrr

Looks like I may be knitting a 'Quant' next!

An Idea

How about we get ourselves into groups? Choose a pattern and then inspire and help each other to get started?

What are you making?

Anybody got any Entrelac on the needles they want to share?

I am on my sixth ball of Noro Transitions, this is beginning to look a lot like a long blanket! I am in fact knitting the Lady Eleanor and since learning to knit backwards, I am totally hooked on this clever way of knitting. The yarn does the hard work for me. Lady Eleanor is a lot longer than the photo shows....

Welcome

Just a quick welcome to everyone who has shown an interest in this Entrelac blog. All levels of knitters are welcome and I'm sure we will have members here that will be more than happy to lend a hand if problems arise. I shall be putting links to some free Etnrelac patterns in the sidebar. I am busy the next few days but I look forward to getting to know you all...now it's your turn!
