Entrelac! From Scarf Style

Posted on by

I just started an entrelac stole two weeks ago:

And a close-up:

This is an adapted version of Lady Eleanor from Scarf Style: Innovative to Traditional, 31 Inspirational Styles to Knit and Crochet (Style series).

Lady Eleanor is the first thing I have knitted from this book, but most of the patterns seem pretty well written. Someday I might even do the dragon scarf.

This is a worthy addition to any knitter’s library.

Oh, I’m also running an LSG Ravelry Entrelac – a – long. So, if you are on Ravelry and want to knit or crochet along, join us. Just remember, LSG is where swearing is encouraged – especially at your knitting.

Three months for Socktober 2007 Socks (I am not counting that they were technically started in September.) Of course, I have not had a lot of time for knitting of late. But, I am glad I joined Venka’s Sock Stash Elimination Project!

Next up, December Dishcloths for Christmas Gifts. (They always ask for them!)
