WIP Wednesday - Musical Score
I've been working solely on the double knitted musical score this past week, and - admittedly - stressing out a bit about it. Last week I was happy as Larry because I'd calculated that I only needed to knit 4 rows a day to be on track, and figured that I could EASILY do that... a few days later my brain woke up, and I realized I'd done some MAJOR miscalculations... I have to knit 12 rows a day to be on track! Suddenly not as easily achievable, and, because I'm still really slow at double knitting, actually takes me an hour a day :-/ I returned to work on Monday, so no time for knitting anything other than this. Hope it won't sour me on double knitting, but I'm counting on the fact that I love seeing the pattern emerge will keep me going :)

That does look really tricky, but the results are fantastic. I am not very musical so was wondering if it is a well-known tune.
ReplyDeleteIt's one of the songs from "The Sound of Music" - too early to tell from this photo though ;)
DeleteWhoa, cool pattern! Good luck! xxx
ReplyDeleteThat looks fantastic! Did you create the pattern? Double knitting is very slow but well worth the effort in the end.
ReplyDeleteNo, it's a test knit for a designer on Ravelry.
DeleteWow!! So pretty! I have not tried double knitting yet yikes it looks complicated!
ReplyDeleteIt's actually not too bad - it's basically k1-p1 rib where the knits and purls are done with different yarns. Easier than I had anticipated, but slow!
DeleteI have seen that pattern and really liked it but haven't had to ambition to try it. It looks good so far.
ReplyDeleteThanks! :) It's actually not too difficult - just takes awhile.
