Fall knitting

I finally understood that there actually is a pattern type that I particularly don’t like: simple lace knits with few rows pattern repeat. Simple enough to zero challenge but annoyingly easy to ruin with random mistakes - and those are so easy to make when not 100% concentrating on knitting. They are also progressing slowly - at least my knitting is remarkably slowed down with multiple ktogs, ptogs and ssk:s.

And currently I have two of these in progress *sigh*.

Cressida from Rowan Studio, I love the yarn, colour and result, though. But all other works are so much more interesting that this one lies constantly in the bottom of my knitting basket.

Bridges from Rowan fall 2007 Magazine. I like this, too, a lot. But there is something happening both on the knit and the purl sides of this pattern, very slow to knit. At least the needle size is large…

More demanding lacework is not a problem for me. I am ready to concentrate on knitting when the result is rewarding. And longer pattern repeats work as mini steps to finished work, it feels that the work is really progressing somewhere.

I had to ravel my Fyne. I thought that I would manage by pulling back just few rows with the badly chosen pattern colour. But as soon as I pulled the needle out I realized that the knit was too large. Better to start with the smallest size.

And I wasn’t able to decide the new colour in yarn shop. So I took two skeins. What’d yoy think, should I throw some red in…

…or shall I stay with greens?

Oh, I finally got an invitation to Ravelry! I love the idea of organizing all my projects and knitting related stuff there…
