A Sneak Preview of What's to Come!

During Camp Stitches this past week I was teaching an intensive class on Entrelac and thought it would be fun for the students to see what happens between knitting and felting. So I finished up a project I had started just few days prior to leaving and during our afternoon off, went down to the local Laundromat / Tattoo parlor!! We would have gotten tattoos while we were waiting for the felting process to finish, but they are closed on Mondays.

Any way, I was so thrilled with the result. I wasn't really planning on publishing the pattern right away, but it got such rave reviews, I knew I would need to get it ready for the TNNA show coming up in June.

Although once you get going the knitting is straight forward -- the planning and starting of the project is not for an entrelac novice. The yarn is left over from another project I will also be unveiling at TNNA in a few weeks. It is from Ellen's Half Pint Farm and is her Wool / Mohair blend. It felts up with a boucle' type texture which just adds even more interest.
