TKA 2010-05 進度篇 (1)

昨天開工, 發現義大利彈性起針法不難, 可是起針時一定要用一手將起好的針目固定住, 否則會"起嘯".

起起, 拆拆三次後總算成功. 我在織圖A旁寫了段數, 然後在第13目(由右數起)與14目中間用紅筆畫直線, 因為用5本針, 這剛好是一針. 我發現這樣看起來比較不容易眼花看錯格.

開始配色時, 因為從來沒打過配色, 我將線分開, 一球擺右邊, 一球擺左邊, 線就不會"歌歌迪". 我也試過用"引線指套" 可是就是卡卡的很不習慣, 乾脆左手掛線, 右手牽線就好打多了.





結果打完7段後才發現主/配色搞反了(跟原作相比較)

不過我覺得也不錯看. 織圖上手肘部位只打三次, 但是我覺得短了些, 所以我最少應該會打四次才會像原作者像片上一樣的長度.....

ISE9

After the hot & humid summer, the weather cooled quickly.

Since I came back from Taiwan, I started working full time after 14 months of "non-volunteered retirement". In a way I am very happy that my life is back to an orderly fashion, but it's been hectic at the same time. So much so that I have not been able to muster any energy to knit at all.

When I saw the announcement for ISE9 I just have to join the fun!!

Not only did I miss the last 2 rounds (not sure how I did that), but also in order to get myself motivated, I signed up for this round. I have been looking up a storm for scarf patterns. There are so many great ones out there, I cannot make up my mind.

Got my pal's info yesterday, I have someone who loves bright colours, have 2 kids + pets. I love bright colours, too, so it would be a piece of cake knitting a scarf with the bright colours.

Now I just have to decide which pattern to knit for my pal.... then look for yarn....

當做黑玫瑰襪子 Blackrose Wanna be Socks

第一次看到 Blackrose by Suzi Anvin 襪子時就很愛, 可是當時對打襪子怕怕, 更別提從上往下打. 其實到現在我還是不喜歡往腳趾打的打法.

上星期又想到黑玫瑰, 所以就改變成由腳趾往上打的來打一雙.


不知道是因為往上打的緣故還是線的關係, 看起來花樣就是不一樣. 不過原作的針碼是2,75mm有可能是因為如此而蕾絲花樣看得特別清楚.


線材: Jojoland Melody 襪線 2球
針碼: 2mm 80公分輪針一組

說實在的以前常常聽到人對這組襪線特別讚美, 我在減價時我也買了四球, 想說可以打襪子跟圍巾搭配甚麼的.

這幾天打下來的結果就是一肚子的氣, 鬆緊度太大, 線滑又容易分岔. 本來想說要換線, 後來想一想, 總是要將這些線消耗掉, 所以就繼續打下去了.

趁這幾天氣溫不高, 努力吧.
