Furthur Explanations

Well, I promised an explanation of several things in my last post.

First, the T&Q afghan. I made this afghan for my brother a couple of years ago. It was a little narrower than I would have liked, but he liked it, and I was out of yarn, so I was SOL. Last Christmas, he asked if I could make it wider. So I frogged. The WHOLE THING. However, I had the brilliant flash of inspiration to make the center stripe separately and slip stich it in on both sides. Then, in the future if more stripes are needed, then I requires no frogging. I doubt I am the first to think of this, but I was still pretty proud of myself.

And the entrelac/double knitted afghan. You know how sometimes you have a vision of this perfect creation in your head, and you start knitting and hope it goes the way you want? Yeah thats this project. In theory I am making a reversible afghan. One side has a red and off white entrelac border, with a white center, and the reverse side has a red center and a white border. I figured the easiest way to do it is to make one side of the border, stitch it into a tube, then knit the ceenter panel, then make the other 3 sides of the border and sew them on. In other words, I MIGHT have this done by the time I graduate in May.

I also bought the yarn to make myself a felted entrelac tote. I wonder if they have yarn rehab...
