Entrelac

Many years ago I mastered this technique. Recently, I decided to re-explore it. I thought I could just pick up the needles and go for it - I was wrong. In the intervening years, a few links in the intellectual chain fell out. So, I've had to re-learn.

After a number of false starts, I discovered Linda Cyr's "Market Squares" bag in the Summer 2001 Knitter's Magazine. I wish I had the colors she had in my stash, but even so, I am very pleased with the results. I have a plethora of Green Mountain Spinnery Double Twist and this pattern really shows off the wonderful colors. The instructions for entrelac are the clearest I've found - even though I did some personal tweaking. I can't wait to finish and felt this!
