I finally finished my most ambitious knitting project to date. I’ve been working on this project for months and I thought I would never finish. There are four reasons it took so long: 1) the yarn I chose is really thin, 2) the needles are also quite thin as I wanted the knitting to be very fine and cover the pillow, 3) I switched between three colors which slowed the process and left me with a lot to seam up, and 4) the pattern just takes longer because you constantly have to stop what you’re doing and do something new. But it was a fun if somewhat difficult pattern, which demands a lot of attention. The level is supposed to be ‘Advanced Beginner’ but I don’t agree as I found it very difficult and was tempted to give up for the first few days and just do stripes in stead. I’m glad I stuck to it though, as it gets easier. I’m thinking of doing this pattern for a scarf some day – only I’m not doing multiple colors ever again!
If you want to try for yourself, you can download the pattern for free at verypink.com – I highly recommend you watch the tutorial below first, it helps a lot.
That looks like allot of hard work, but totally worth it as it is gorgeous!
Det er da fantastisk flot! Men hvor ser det svært ud. Sikke en tålmodighed du har 🙂
Thanks Wendy – it was fun making it.
Tak Charlotte – for mig er det en fornøjelse 🙂
I think will be cool If i make it by myself, and seem like I need do a lot of work and time 😀
Just use thick yarn and huge needles instead 😉
I use to knit years ago, now I crochet more. But I decided to try the knitting again and it’s so hard to control the needles and thread, any suggestions?? You are fast and good. Thank you.
