Still, I like that it's thick yarn on thick needles, so it does knit up quickly enough for my patience to cope with, and the pattern is varied enough to keep it interesting. I only have another 5 cm to go on the back now.

WIP Wednesday: Back to the 80s, week 2
Knitting flat seems to take a lot longer than knitting in the round. I'm not a huge fan of purling, so I'm glad that at least this isn't all stockinette :)

Geez that looks like you're flying through that... Based on last week's photo!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's going pretty well so far :) I'm just worried I might hit the terrible twos, considering I'll have to knit 4 pieces all together instead of just the one when knitting in the round ;)
DeleteI very much like the pattern... Looks very nice :)
ReplyDeleteReally good progress and I love your colours. Poor old purl stich - it's being much maligned this morning.
ReplyDeleteHehe, yeah I know... people really aren't appreciating it as they should ;)
DeleteLove the colours in your project, looks so interesting, really 80s style :)

Thank you! Very 80s indeed, but everybody keeps telling me the 80s are coming back, so I'm counting on being very hip once it's done ;)
DeleteLooking great! Definitely 80s!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's super cool, I love the colors!
ReplyDeleteYou've gotten so much done! It looks great.
