I made the mistake of trying brioche lace knit. For me knitting is supposed to be relaxing. This isn’t, but I’m trying to power through.
Initially I was using yarn I had on hand. That didn’t work well, two different types of yarn. So I went back to my LYS and bought the same brand, red yarn. That helps, I’m still waiting for better needles. Hiya Hiya has a very good set of interchangeable. More on them when they finally arrive!
Meanwhile, at the same time I ordered a cord key.
In the past I had a set of Knitpicks interchangeable. Awful, in the middle of a long lace row, the tip would disengage from the cord and I’d be left with a mess. I liked Knitpicks Palatte yarn, but even their yarn isn’t that great.
Anyway, a friend on IG shared this little tool, I bought one for a friend, when I went back to buy one for myself, most were sold out, so I’m really glad I got this, now just waiting for the needles…
It is very slow knitting, at least I’m getting good at fixing mistakes…
I know, looking at images of cross-stitch isn’t that interesting, which is why FlossTube channels tend to be very boring. I have found one or two where they actually share some good information. So if this is boring, stop reading now.
Have I been making mistakes??? Yes a ton of them, a lot of frogging is happening and I can’t always reuse the thread. So hopefully I have enough since this is a kit. Sure I can always buy more DMC, but I don’t want to.
See the two flowers? I had to frog both of them a number of times!!!
I’m really trying to follow the charts more carefully! I promise. Interesting, these two sets of leaves are much easier than those flower. Guess what there are two more sets of flowers to come…. But I am actually really enjoying this. The slow methodic work is wonderful for my soul.
And now I hear of a few young women I know who are pregnant, and that means baby quilts! Which I love.
