Glitzersteine: Loop

[meltintall3]

• pattern: Glitzersteine: Loop


• 1.5 skeins or 286.5 yards lace weight yarn (I guess?)


• size 8 needles & size 6 needles

I recommend doing the second loop first. I feel that since I only did a half pattern for the second loop if I used size 9 or 10 needles for the first loop I could get away with only one skein of yarn. I ended up with a fairly dense mesh.

The frustrating thing was because I did the first loop until I ran out of yarn, then I had to knit the second loop to the same size. I had to cast on four times--the first time I twisted the starting cable but it would have been too big anyway... Knitting to a deadline is stressful and makes you hurry and when you hurry you make mistakes in a new pattern...

But it does work up quickly. If you work diligently, it's a two-week pattern. (Less, if you can knit faster than me.)



The focus is backwards here, but it gives a good idea of the color of the yarn and how sparkly it is!



Lastly, be sure to block your project or you will have curly edges.
