in northern spain we function

under non-stop drizzle. day3.

sampling fairisle first. had never done it therefore i need to understand the way needles work so i can tackle the short row eyelets.if you look closely on the top half there's a column of white stitches in between the colored columns. when worked in fair isle + short rows these produce stripes. looking forward to that. (* ^ ω ^) still don't know where my files are,some were migrated to the cloud some are in the old CPU.

feels like going back in time when i had things stored in four different houses in three different countries. (シ_ _)シ 

at least i found my emojis.

mesh

more short rows samples this time  creating meshes.you need to focus very well on what youre knitting therefore phone off. you work with a group of stitche, bring to work another group and put to hold the one you just worked. keeping track of the groups by marking them on the needle bed.trusted bottle of alcohol-what would i do without it-takes care of  the effacement of marks.

 this sample brings up various possibilities such as working with variegated yarns and creating cables that cross in random ways. it's becoming an unbelievabe source of intellectual excitement..

one never stops learning

thank goodness.apologies for the photos.new CPU and new photo editing program. i am learning as i edit so it's going to take some time until i become functional.

the other side of learning is the knitting samples i am tackling. following alessandrina's (aka my k guru) knitting experiments and explanations 

i am working on eyelets and short rows.

i've never been atexture person as i consider it

the facile side of textiles.however these inspire new possibilities.

happy thinking about them now that i have time.

 

to those of you in the states happy fourth.celebrate freedom while you can.
