(that pic's kinda blurry, huh - my bad. didn't notice on the phone, may change it later) doing some more experimenting. the far left section is just straight knitting. the middle section is a combination of knits and purls. the far right section is actually a combination of totally knitted rows, totally purled rows and some combo rows. learned a few things: that middle section actually needs more knits or purles on the edges to give it shape. it only looks like it has shape now cuz i stretched it out before i took the picture. and the pattern in the right section isn't all that discernable I think because i didn't do enough rows before i went back to the total knit/purl rows. ok i realize all this may mean nothing to the like 2 people (at best) who actually bother to read it, but i know what i mean. lol. and you can just walk away knowing that i experimented and learned. had to give this to tgp since i used 'her' yarn. now i have to make her another something with the other yarn she picked out. she did the cast on and then said 'now you have to do the other part'. she said this one's going to be a blanket for her baby doll. i told her i'd make her a washcloth and she agreed to that. i'm going to try that diamond pattern again...
while it started as a blog about my foray into the world of knitting (thus why all the earliest posts are knitting related)...it's now to be a catalog of my various creative, well, escapades - from knitting to cooking to graphic design to... whatever else comes up that i need a creative solution for - and the lessons i'll inevitably learn from them. fun times! (oh and i reserve the right to on occasion go off topic. i'd not be me to never go off topic and i'd be remiss if i didn't warn you...)
