Entrelac Heaven













I think I have an addiction to Entrelac knitting. I just can't get enough of it. I think part of the fascination is watching how the colors form in the tiny blocks. The other fascination is that it's so mathematically and tediously oriented. I'm having a blast with it.

The hat above is something I made to go with my Lady D scarf. It can either be worn as a skull cap or as a beret. It's REALLY cute when on, especially with both pieces together.

Here's a view from the side to see the brim:













I also started Lady Eleanor. I had a little of the Patons left from the hat and after finishing Lady D, I really really wanted to make Lady E. So off we go.

Here she is in the early stages:













I'm pretty happy with her so far. I'm still deciding whether I'll block her when she's done or not. Entrelac texture is SO pretty and blocking her would flatten the squares. We'll see.

Other that that, I've got another Booga on the needles, sock #2 in a pair for hubby, sock #1 in a pair for me, and a lacy scarf which I think will take me FOREVER to do. Oh and about a gazillion things that I want to make, all of which will have to wait. I'm going to be a good girl and finish these projects before starting something else.

Well, at least that's the plan. I probably won't stick to it, but I can at least write it.

Gorgeous!
I've love to be able to progress to this level of skill someday but I fear it's a long way off. You knitting is beyond beautiful as is your photography.

PS I hope these comments are going through. I have to go through a very round about way with Halo Scan just to get the windows to pop open, can't read any comments already left and can never see any I've left - ack!
