Kntting

[frualeydis]

I'm feeling a strong urge to start knitting again. I really shouldn't, however, because I have Valeria's embroidered sleeve to finish and it's 1/3 done and it would be so wonderful to have finished her camicia (enough to be wearable, I will add more embrodery over time). After finishing the sleeve I will line the skirt of her Eleonora gown and attach the skirt to the bodice - another long time project that would be lovely to have finished.

But after that I will knit something, a cardigan or a shawl probably.

I did some quick knitting this week however, I made this for Rickard:

Then I made another one for a new friend, and comrade, because she liked it so much. It takes about four hours, so it wasn't such a big thing.

I have never really tried knitting, but I know how long it takes to make a hat with nålbindning, so the fact that you made not only one but two hats over the week fills me with awe...

I think that is probably one reason why knitting supplanted nålbindning -- it's much faster work. (And it's more elastic, although IIRC early knitting was usually pretty compact and non-stretchy.)

Shawls are my current obsession. So many gorgeous patterns out there, in so many different styles and shapes and gauges! I'm going to end up with far too many shawls, I think.
