So I said that I was up to a new challenge for the new year... what better challenge than to finally start this? I've been thinking about doing it for over 2 years and a knit-along will finally spur me on.
Agnes and Debi are co-hosting this and I'm joining in. About time too that I actually do some entrelac .. well some entrelac for something other than a swatch. The knit-along starts Feb 1. So let the girls know if you're interested.
The start date is perfect, cause it'll mean I'll have plenty of time to finish this.
Let's just say this simple little motif has about a gazillion ends to weave in... even easy intarsia can be very scary.
Do you think it would be odd to join the kal if say, you started the FPS last year but never finished it, in fact haven't even worked on it since September?

Posted by: Meg at January 6, 2007 09:43 PMI might think you're a little insane for knitting this, but that's okay. I'm sure the end result will be fabulous.
Posted by: Wanda at January 6, 2007 08:16 PMI love seeing what you're going to knit next. You choose such beautiful projects!
Posted by: mrspao at January 6, 2007 11:32 AMOh, that stole is beautiful!
And my little guy wants that sweater. Don't think it's gonna happen before he's outgrown the desire, though!
Good luck with the new KAL.
Also, that sweater is going to be so cute! What book are you using?

Posted by: Wibbo at January 4, 2007 10:56 AMI must need my head examined as I am seriously considering this knit along ;-0 !!
Posted by: Jacinta at January 4, 2007 06:45 AMI'm so excited!!! Aren't you? :)
Come on Dawn, you know you wanna!!!!
Intarsia? Did you say Intarsia...AAAAAHHH!
Posted by: Tracey at January 4, 2007 01:06 AMDon't worry, I haven't done any entrelac before either ... but I had a false start on this project before deciding on the KAL and found that the entrelac wasn't that difficult ... and the lace patterns are not too complicated. So, you should be alright ... actually I'm quite sure. Oh, and thanks for joining the fun.
That's on my to-do list as well, but I'll see how I get on with the wips first. It's gorgeous, isn't it?
