A lesson in Double Knitting

Pattern: Frog Pot Holder

Yarn: Plymouth Yarn Encore Colorspun Worsted

10/14/09 Cast on. Trying to learn the whole ‘double knitting’ thing. Got this great yarn and a really COOL scarf pattern that is double knitting ….. so…. gotta learn how first. I thought this would be a good intro project, and I’m glad I’m doing it, reading from the chart, on the flip side of the knitting is a TRIP! It’s like knitting in 3D, don’t know how else to describe it. This frog pattern called for cotton and I have some left over Encore from my Hanne vest, so I’m using it and not worried about ‘gauge.’ So, in other words, this pot holder is HUGH!!!

Ring of Lace

Yarn:

Schaefer Yarn Company/Toni Morrison colorway, purchased at Sophie's in Louisville.

9/23/09 used knitted cast on. Beautiful color, and I will have enough yarn to make two of these! 10/7/09 BEAUTIFUL!!! Love the color! Have to block and then will post pic. Great pattern. 10/11/09 As beautiful as this yarn is, it’s silk and just doesn’t block out like wool does. It’s pretty, beautiful colors, but all that lace work need to show up and silk just doesn’t have the memeory that wool does. I’m not loving this and won’t make a second one in silk, I’ll make it in wool….I’ll find something else to do with the rest of the skein.
