It's not that I don't like my garter stitch. This Madelinetosh in Molly Ringwald is gorgeous. I'm knitting this for the second month of Camp Loopy. The challenge was to knit a popular pattern you have yet to knit. At least 500 yards with either 1000 projects, queues, or both. For this challenge I picked Kleio by Romi Hill, a gorgeous shawl knit with short rows. I tell you what, I cannot wait to get to the lace section.
The other issue I'm having with garter stitch? It's really hard to photograph in a way that looks interesting. You have to get pretty creative and a little kooky.
See what I mean?

That is going to be a really pretty shawl. I knitted a garter stitch corner-to-corner blanket that took forever, so I know what you mean.
ReplyDeleteLovely pattern, and isn't "Molly Ringwald" just the perfect name for that colour?!?!!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I feel you as I have been making the garter stitch blanket by EZ. And, part of it is in red which is impossible to photograph! So I end up with a red blob that doesn't even look like garter. Boring garter. Which is probably why I also have a St st shawl and a cabled wrap going?
ReplyDeleteI prefer stockinette to garter stitch, but both can be soothing. At least you have lace to look forward to!
