Don’t know about you but I’ve come to hate that term, ‘hunkered down’! I prefer to think of it as just getting on and doing what needs to be done. So, I’ve been sitting around, wasting time, putting in time, whatever, but I have been knitting!
A while ago (LOL! turns out it was like 4 years ago) I had a plan of knitting
a lacy denim jacket https://knitwords.blogspot.com/2017/09/regifting.html
Last week, after realizing I was cabled out, I started making a quick
list of things to work on. Went through my knitted wardrobe, tried on several
things and I remembered that recurring dream of denim and lace in a jean jacket
style. Pulled out those old notes and swatches and just by chance, the RTR Lace
Cardi was at hand. I really love that fabric which is a sideways knit
combination of purl-st ridges and hand-transferred simple lace. My first
thought was that I never really get to enjoy that stitch pattern because it is
basically in the back of the cardigan and it dawned on me that using it again
would give me those vertical lines I was looking for and still satisfy my need
for a hands-on approach to knitting in general. Revised my design and it’s a
go!
