I made the pattern up as I went along, randomly striping the colours and using knit and purl patterns for texture. I have no idea what the yarn was, something inexpensive and quite possibly acrylic but I has worn well - I know it went through the wash several times (probably after I dipped it in my dinner).
Is it perfect? - No. It curls in on itself like only stocking stitch can and it's not as warm and cuddly as a more wool heavy blend yarn might have been but I still quite like it and it will be making appearances around my neck over the rapidly approaching winter months......
I like it too. Can't beat random blue stripes!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome.
ReplyDeleteThe other day I was stash diving and came across the first bit of knitting I ever made! It was knit in a variegated acrylic yarn in christmas colors and there were tons of weird increases and split stitches, and areas where "something" happened. It wasn't even bound off. I had simply removed it from the needles.
Your blast from the past is much more impressive. It totally looks like you planned out that stripe sequence.
It's awesome! Love those colors. How cool that you still have it.
