Success!

May 22nd, 2007

Anyways, last night while hanging out with friends I worked on a second attempt at log cabin knitting. This time I bound-off all stitches after each section before picking up new stitches. The corners look much cleaner, and the lines look much straighter. There are a couple of places where I didn’t pick up enough stitches (between blocks usually), but mostly I think I have the hang of it. This is such a great way to do some really easy knitting, but add some interest with lots of colors and being able to change things up every so often.

When I first imagined doing log cabin knitting, I thought of all the graphed patterns I could create using this simple pattern, but I think I really like just doing it randomly. Next time I should role a die to determine how many rows I knit rather than just going on my whim.

    I found this book via a “green” blog I read – just thought I’d pass it a long. :)

    Thanks Annie!

    Hey thanks Beth, I’ll definitely have to add that to my list of knitting books I want. I have a tendency to gravitate towards the natural fibers anyways, not much liking acryllic and rayons.
