Momentum

First of all, thanks to everyone who commented the other day on the progress that I've been making on this charted test-knit pattern.  I really loved reading your thoughts about this piece and feeling the support.  I double-checked and the charts/pattern is correct so I guess it's me.  What I mean to say is that I think it's the way my knitting transitioned from Chart A to Chart B -- because the design is extremely clever (and it truly is!), the piece shifts from a strict triangle slowly to a rectangle.




It might also have something to do with the yarn which is, as Julie once said about another new yarn that had recently joined my stash, a bit crispy.




I've almost completed half of the required repeats of Chart B which will give the scarf its length and then I'll be in the home stretch.  For those of you who wrote that blocking will probably smooth out the rough spots, I tend to agree.

  1. Have you spoken to the designer? The transition is noticeable. When I have knitters test knit for me, I am always glad that they ask questions. I have had knitters catch mistakes.

    I ordered this yarn because of your beautiful photos. I can't wait to get them. It's always fun to discover new yarns.

  2. It is certainly coming along! I think that you are going to run into issues just because it is a test knit. I really cannot wait until it is complete!

  4. It's looks really neat and yes, I concur w/everyone and you that blocking will soften up the yarn and smooth everything out. Do you usually work on one project at a time?
