Kyoto progress report
February 09, 2005
Well as we all know I decided to give Kyoto this a shot. Having only just learnt to purl and not done any other projects using it, nor knitted anything on needles smaller than metric 7.5, this big project on metric 4s (3.75 in pattern but i'm using 4s and my guage is ok) is bound to be a challenge.
Progress so far, have completed front left piece and about a third of the way into back (on needles). Colour of this photo is awful, it's actually a khaki green and a pale pink with cream for the stripes.
I have started the double seed stitch sash.. see the pink yarn on needles there Progress is incredibly slow in that department! v v slow..
Also, I am doing this on cosy wool because it was really cheap with lincraft 30% off and I didn't want to spend $120 to get the recommended cotton or $65 to get cotton from ozeyarns. I have since learnt I could get bendigo cotton for probably same price as the cosy wool, and that the cosy wool is a bit crap unless you want to felt!
They blinded me with all these great new colours they had. But - I can always do another one in bendigo cotton!
