Knitting just for the heck of it
Tuesday, 7. February 2006
Ever since Eunny published her Deep Argyle Vest pattern, I’ve been itching to try it out. But the search for suitable yarn has so far been unfruitful…should I go with Dale of Norway Heilo? Or Rowanspun DK? Briggs and Little Regal? Ah… choices. So while I wait to make a decision.. I decided to just knit a practice swatch with whatever I have.. you know.. just to see what it’s like..
Knit knit knit.. ah.. crap.. I’m knitting too tightly.. I need to loosen up my tension…
Knit knit knit.. ooh.. check out that argyle pattern…
Knit knit knit.. Oi.. I have gone this far.. might as well go all the way..
Knit knit knit.. yea.. I should totally practice steeking on this while I’m at it…
Yea..this thing definitely won’t fit me when I’m through with it.. but who cares? I knit for fun. And this sure is fun.. and when I finally decide on a suitable yarn, you can be sure that I will have gotten the steeking down pat. Oh.. the yarn is KnitPick’s Palette by the way, in Blush and Fog. Sz 3 needles.. Photos taken under natural light.
