Just a quickie post because one of my friends has been sad I’ve stopped posting so she has no idea what I’ve been doing. Don’t be sad, Stef!
This weekend on the bus home from MS&W, I started my first entrelac project AND learned how to knit backwards! I was smart and put a video for it onto my ipad, heehee. It is going to be a clutch. I may have to beg my mom to help me line it.
I’ve got 8 rows of blocks so far, but there is another project that is on a schedule, and now that I finally have a tennis ball for it, I put the entrelac aside and started the new project Monday night.
Head over to Tami’s Amis if you’re lookin’ to see things other people are making RIGHT NOW OMG.

Yay!!! It’s not that I’m sad… I like looking at your pretty things! Since I can’t see them in person while you are making them, this is the next best thing!!! Btw, is entrelac difficult?

Entrelac is not difficult if you have a good pattern. Knitting backwards isn’t really that difficult either, but similar to when you started knitting, you will start out slowly and if you keep forcing yourself to do it you’ll get faster. I think entrelac would be unbearable if I had to keep turning the work after a couple stitches.

Yup, nothing made me want to learn backwards knitting quicker than when I was knitting an entrelac scarf!! I love the colors you’re using. Looks great!

It’s only one colorway, actually. I’m cheating and using a ball of Mini Mochi.

The entrelac bag looks awesome so far. I can’t believe it’s your first Entrelac project. Whenever I finish my yarn diet that’s definitely one skill I want to learn!
