Painting Squares is another pattern in Stephen’s new book.
This geometric design features a self-striping yarn as the main color with a solid contrast color. Slip stitch squares form an easy to knit check pattern. The edges are framed with I-cord and the cast on/bind off technique creates the jagged edge.
You can easily customize the length of this fabric by binding off early or continue to work the pattern repeat for a longer size.
Stephen used Zauberball Crazy with a fairly solid fingering weight yarn. I say fairly solid because it can have a bit of variation but you don’t want a crazy handdyed yarn with 15 colours in it - you won’t see the stripes from the other yarn.
I knew we had the Olympics starting soon but didn’t realize that soon was this week. This will be the first time I don’t have an ‘Olympic project’. I don’t want to start anything because there is a new Andrea Mowry pattern coming next week that I want to start. I am going to use the Olympics as a time to finish projects. It will be a race to see how many I can cast off. There are quite a few that are very close.
I wrote this post earlier today and then sat down to knit. I pulled out my Inclinations Shawl that was almost finished. I knit 6 rows and cast off.
Now I'm onto project #2.
