Watch me bust out the entrelac this Tuesday morning! February 3
That’s right! Proof that I do sometimes knit… This Tuesday, February 6th, the Knitty Gritty episode featuring yours truly will air on HGTV. I’ve yet to see myself in any of the other shows I’ve been a part of for Uncommon Threads or Knitty Gritty, so I’m excited that this one will actually air on a channel my cable provider is kind enough to “provide”.
What is the Book of Bright Ideas? A simple book cover knit in stockinette with a nifty, pretty, entrelac sunburst motif on top. That’s right kids, entrelac worked in the round! The motif design came from pure inspiration and perspiration and over a year later I still look at it and get chills. It’s simple once you get the hang of knitting outside of a straight line. How easy? Before I made the design up, I had never worked with entrelac! I’m hoping to see some folks take a whack at working up the motif, there’s something simply goofy and fun about working with all those needles.
Check out some old photos of it all here.
