Okay, in complete honesty, I have to admit tha...Er. Okay, in complete honesty, I have to admit that I already had the ribbing on needles. But I hadn't actually decided on any of the motifs or anything yet-I only knew it was going to be worked in the round. So Friday night (it was also pouring then), I chose some patterns and started the first row of colorwork. I'm at around twelve inches of length at the moment, so I've only done a bit over 9" since 9 pm Friday (it's actually grown a couple more inches since the picture). <BR/><BR/>And I haven't done much colorwork at all, but I've been reading about Fair Isle technique, so for the first time I tried the two-handed technique, where you hold one color in each hand. It has proved surprisingly speedy. I'm a Continental knitter normally, so the new bit was learning to knit English style with the secondary color. <BR/><BR/>It obviously wasn't as fast as one color knitting, but I made up a lot of time on the plain stockinette in the body, after I got through the colorwork bands. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, you're much faster than I am with lace!RobinHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10325359641194305097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4735305373419794722.post-76708967385165553002008-09-28T21:52:00.000-04:002008-09-28T21:52:00.000-04:00You got that much knitting done just this weekend?...You got that much knitting done just this weekend?????<BR/><BR/>WOW! <BR/><BR/>I love what you have so far & am SERIOUSLY impressed with your knitting speed.
