Prelude | Part One | Part Two | Part Three | Part Four
Well, we’ve made some progress, haven’t we?
However, this is one of those times when I’m looking at a pic of my knitting and thinking… that doesn’t look as good as I thought it did. My eye is drawn to the wobbly bobbly bits.
We know that blocking is magic, though. Which I hope holds up because look how pointy it still is in the middle. It’s very tall for a blanket.
If it doesn’t block flat, I’m going to tell people it’s a representation of Yggdrasil, whose roots and branches reach all realms.
Things are slower going now, with lots of branches and even some wee leaves to make each round. It took a bit of adjusting to, going from just one place where there were branches to build to a bustling canopy, and I’m very much relying on referring to the pattern throughout.
I’m almost done with chart two of three – there will be owls soon! At the end of chart two there will be 396 stitches each round. Looooot of knitting.
