Entrelac Love

I am in the process of making an entrelac scarf and I love it! Since I am largely a self taught knitter, I never learned what was hard or easy. My second project ever was cabled, my third lace. I don't have too many a-ha moments. Well I had an a-ha moment! Entrelac is a technique where you knit boxes that look interwoven. I am using Bernat Mosaic because it has a very long color repeat, so the boxes are all slightly different colors. I'm told Mosaic is the poor knitter's Noro. Anyway, the entrelac scarf is so easy it's my social knitting project! I'm also working on a pair of lacy green socks which trust me, get knitted at home in quiet moments.

I'm now working on a drop stitch scarf that also looks like more technique than it is!! Love it. The yarn wasn't expensive (my next rant), and I didn't think I liked it until I washed it and now it's drapey and soft.

LOL About the lacy socks, I have a few of those projects too! Can't tell you how many times I've had to rip down inches and inches because it was not quite. LOL So, totally get where you are coming from there! LOL
