Tuesday Morning
Wednesday Morning
Despite my ranting I have enjoyed this. It's been a while since I did any entrelac, and the last time my skills at knitting & purling backwards were rather rudimentary. Now I am teh rocksor at this working backwards lark, entrelac is brilliant fun. Therefore, I am going to do the back in entrelac as well, probably in two colours, if I have something in my stash which will do. I have some dark cream which might work. If not, then one colour only, and I will add interest through embellishment with beads, ribbon or such like.
I have been knitting between the last post and this, but it's been either secret knitting or boring to blog about, i.e. lots of stocking stitch in silver grey. Hmm. What did I recently get a pattern for, which is silver grey? Might it be a K9? Couldn't possibly comment.
On Sunday I'm going to the SECC in Glasgow for the Creative Stitches Show. I'm trying not to think about it, otherwise I'll get too excited and then there'll be trouble. But - I want to make a list of things to look for, so I have to think about it without thinking about it. I'm a tad out of practise at that, because I do practically no magic these days. If I had realised before, however, that chaos magic skills are transferable to knitting, I would have been more assiduous about practising them.
Anyway, please feel free to peruse the list of exhibitors at the show, and tell me which ones I should not miss. I'm so excited about seeing the knitted garden. (Saddo that I am.)
PS The yarn I'm using for the cushion was in fact bought for this shawl. However, I needed to knit entrelac on Sunday night, that 400g ball was nice and conveniently placed, and I had been thinking that it was a mite scratchy for a truly comfy shawl. These accidents will happen when one has a disorganised stash. I shall just have to get another 400g of aranweight. Perhaps on Sunday? ;D

Chaos knitting, I love it! It's going to be a smashing cushion anyhoo.
Yes, definitely keep the eyes open for some shawl yarn, that's a lovely pattern. Have a great time.
I've been wanting to knit something using entrelac ever since I learned it, but just haven't been able to find the right project.
It certainly looks like it'll be a nice squooshy cushion when you're done. :)
Craft shows are the perfect opportunity for new supplies and stash additions. Have fun!
Pesky SK, the cushion is looking gooood despite their best efforts to mangle the pattern!
Have fun acquiring stash at the show :-)
Chaos magic knitting - marvellous. It's certainly come along a treat.
Have a wonderful time at the SECC show, I'm sad we're not working any shows this year, it was always one of my favourites.
That looks fab, what a shame about the pattern being crap though. Hope you figure it out.
Have a fab time at the CCS, it sounds like there's a lot going on.
I am definitely going to have to try entrelac sometime soon. Thank you for posting your progress pictures, it's encouraging to see it grow that fast!
