Islamic pattern from Rutt
Finally finished, July 08! Very slow colourwork project, from a pattern in Rutt's history of hand knitting, graphed by someone on HistoricKnit yahoogroup. Shown here while blocking, w/ 20p piece for scale. It's going to be a very small, delicate pouch for moi. It qualifies as 3Rs because all the yarn is from stash, and the white is a remaindered cone of mixed wool fibre. The pink is a handspun gift. The maroon is a single ply of a 2-ply that I 'unspun' to try it as a knitting yarn. Getting consistent tension w/ colourwork remains my main problem! that, and following a detailed pattern. |
