Entrelac Anyone?

Category : Fiber Arts

Everyone has their own tastes when it comes to knitting.  Some love socks, others prefer lace only, etc.  I like a wide range of techniques and yarn weights.  There is at least one technique that does not appeal to me at all, Entrelac.  However, when I found this shawl over at Knit Yoga, I realized that there was, yet again, a reason never to say never.  aka Dianna

This may be the only entrelac pattern I would ever consider trying.  It is actually very pretty and I can just see it done in fall oranges and browns!  Here is the Ravelry link to the free pattern if any of you are interested.

Till next time…

Ooo, I’m pretty sure that one’s in my queue, too. (And I only have to finish another two dozen things before I’ll feel justified in starting it, too!)

I’ve been obsessed with entrelac for over a year, but my take on entrelac is a little… twisted. Lately I’ve been designing and knitting hats with ribbed entrelac. The ribbing confuses the eye and the regular entrelac squares aren’t as obvious, I think.

I’m a sucker for any pattern with leaf motifs, so I can’t wait to see your take on the shawl.

Oh so pretty!! I need to try that one. Wanna try with me??

Oh, yeah! I DO agree that THIS is the entralac for me…absolutely.
Gotta go and get the free pattern!
