on reworking

Saturday, April 10th, 2010 | accessories, design, knitting

To answer a couple of questions, yes, I plan to release patterns for both my basic black Terra sweater (top down circular yoke, chunky weight) and the brilliant blue cardigan (bottom up circular yoke, fingering weight). I’m not sure how quickly I can get them done, but I’m hoping for sometime this month!

Meanwhile, I’ve been working on a lace shawl that I’m quite into – the original version was in a luminous purple sock yarn from Sliver Moon Farm, purchased at Rhinebeck:

Easy to knit and was coming out how I wanted, but then I went to go chart it up and found that it was rather complicated. The lace pattern is a 6 stitch repeat, and I was increasing one stitch per row – so it was difficult to figure out what the repeat including the increases was.

I’ve decided to change the increase rate, and I’m reworking it in Lorna’s Laces sock in Cranberry. The chart is much neater, and perhaps at this rate, this pattern will be done in short order. I restarted last Saturday, and I’m a little over halfway done.
