Project: Hot Mess

[patelyne]

Only having two more gifts that needed knit sounded so damn easy...until I actually looked at the calendar and realized I was down to two weeks.

Most of the time I’m okay with not being the fastest knitter. Enjoy the process and all that jazz. But when it comes to a time crunch, I really wish I was one of those super speedy knitters that can crank out a project in a couple days. Alas, I am not.

If I can finish this gift by the end of the weekend though, I should be back on track for an early finish -



About 50 rows left before the main part of this project is finished. After that about another 30 (much shorter) rows. Any guesses about what this hot mess will become?

(I’m almost resenting the five hours (5?!?) I’ll be spending at Other Half’s work party tonight. I was already not really looking forward to it, now I’m thinking about all that lost knitting time too)

Edit: Is it mean to ask for guesses, when I’m pretty sure no one could? I am just really enjoying this part, since I’m missing out of the surprising the giftee part because I let her choose it!

Nope, not a sweater.
It is a cool technique, way simpler than it looks. Picking up the middle bars of stitches below every 10ish rows, and only knitting with one color at a time.
Entrelac is on my to-try list!

Ah, so that makes the 3D effect! Very cool. I'd love to know more.

I’m not sure what the name of that particular stitch pattern is, but tomorrow I’ll link the project’s pattern.

Thank you!
