WIP Wednesday

After an overload of stockinette, I’m taking a break with garter stitch.

Red Baktus

It’s another Baktus, made with some beautiful red Zauberball from Heather. This time I’m just knitting it from the ball, rather than doing alternating stripes. Quick and easy, and mindless other than the increases and decreases. I’ve just made it past the center point, so I’m on the downhill slide.

I also cast on for a lace shell from one of my Japanese knitting magazines. It will be the first time I’ve knitted a real Japanese pattern. (I did make the Habu Chinese-style pullover, but that had English instructions, so it doesn’t really count.)

    Very pretty. One cannot have too many simple scarves like this.

    That’ll be a really interesting finished piece – random, but not TOO random. Nice!
