It's a simple enough pattern, just repetitive, really long, and sort of boring. I figure, the faster I can get it done, the less likely I'll be to lose it in a pile where it will languish like some of my other half-finished projects. The biggest positive is that it is really, really pretty. The longer it gets, the more I like it. I'm not sure if it's a scarf I'll wear, though, so I'm trying to think of people I really love who will wear it. I put fringe on one end, though, so I might decide it's mine for keeps. :)
The worst part about this project is that the 24-row pattern repeat takes me so much longer to get through than I think it should. Like I said, it's simple, but it can take me as long as 40 minutes to do 24 rows. It's frustrating because I'm a fast knitter and this just doesn't feel like it's moving quickly. I'm forcing myself to do three repeats a day for the rest of the week until it is done. Only two feet left to go!

I love that colour, it could tempt me out of my black & grey wardrobe rut. Those stitches look tiny! What size needles are you using?
ReplyDeleteI love it too! It's not really a color I would have chosen myself, but I'm crazy about it now. I used a size 4, so the stitches are quite tiny, lol.
DeleteIt looks so intricate and I love the fringe :) I'm planning on trying herringbone pattern for my next project, hopefully it won't feel tedious if I use thicker yarn (hopefully!)
ReplyDeleteI love the fringe too! XD It's actually not too bad. I'm doing a second scarf in herringbone and I'm (surprisingly) not tired of it. I love seeing the pattern develop.
