...at least for me. A friend of mine who owns YarnCircle ,a local fiber shop was working on an entrelac sample a week or so ago when I was in for a visit. Like Martha, I had always been intrigued by the look of entrelac, but just thought it not quite worth the effort. After watching her knit for a few minutes, I felt this was doable, so I came home and started a piece of my own. A couple of days later, while browsing the subject on a google search I came across Garterlac on a Dave's blog and thought it also looked like something fun, but easier than traditional entrelac. Last night I sat down with some Cotton Tots I had left over from a baby blanket I made for my youngest grandson, Joseph, and made this. The technique is much simpler, and the yarns variegated stripes work up very nicely. Needless to say, there will be more Garterlac in my knitting future. FUN!
