I’ve started, finally, a wavy all for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. See?
But! At least the pattern is extremely obvious! Even in dark grey! And crapass picture!
It’s so nice to have a pattern that shows up so well even with the Patons classic merino in what they call a dark grey mix. Pretty accurate name, since it’s dark grey, with a bit of mottling. Not what I’d call a grey heather, though, and definitely an exercise in knitting blind. The pattern is wavy but you probably knew that, and I’m knitting it on vintage metal 4.5 mms.
Neither boy finds Patons wool snackworthy. Wonder why.
Picasso thinks . o O ( Wait, this isn’t the spa! )
10 months ago, almost 11 really, I knit the first version for my mother… And for some reason, I timed myself doing the knitting. At that time, my fastest rows were 5 minutes each. And my slowest rows were, well, slow.
Right now, knitting the exact same pattern so much later that it’s safe to say my current speed isn’t because I’ve memorized it (hah! 44 row repeat. As if I could…..), the slowest rows I’m knitting are 3 minutes. And I’m 2.5 minutes for the fast ones.
For each 44 row repeat, we’re talking 2 hours less per repeat. 20 less hours to make this than the first time.
Maybe it’s just me but that blows my mind.
