Don’t get me wrong, once this is finished, she is going to be stunning… but like any lady, Lauren needs your undivided attention!
You knit her in sets of 3 rows, and as each row is over 100 stitches, it take about 40-50 minutes for me to do a set. It is a rather convaluted process:
“C096”, then “p2,*yo p4tog* P2”, then “K2, *k1 (k1,p1,k1)into the yo* (to put the stitches back that you just toge’d) k2”, followed by “CO4, then k to end” to set it all in place.
Repeat that until you have 128, then BO 4 instead of CO 4 until you are back to 96st and BO.
So, you see this is going to take me quite a while! I also really need to concentrate on it not to go wrong, if you fluff it, it is a right pain! I took it to NWk2tog last night, they all loved it, but I warned the group that I doubt I’ll be knitting it with them! I probably will at some point though, NWk2tog is my “dedicated kniting time”, and I can’t see me carving 40 minutes out of life anywhere else for this lady!
This shade of Linen Print is sadly now discontinued, but I have no clue why, it is amazing! The picture of this WIP doesn’t do the yarn justice really.
