Creative Knitting – Beyond Knit and Purl

I learned to knit as  child sitting at my Grandma’s knees.  We didn’t have yarn winders then, it was just a hank of yarn stretched over two little arms(mine).  Those days still bring back wonderful memories.   Years went by before I began knitting in earnest again.   Marriage, kids, work, you name it, I never seem to have the time.  Then came retirement and an old Vogue Knitting magazine.  When I saw that lace top I was hooked.  I knew how to do the basics, but that picture really peaked my creative juices.  The next thing I knew I was knitting a Print O Wave by Yuni Jang.

This was the result.  Of course the     picture is enhanced by the beautiful harp that my husband built for me a few years ago.  Lace and harp music, just seem to go together.

From here I moved on the colorworks, then double-knitting, and writing tutorials from projects that just seemed to beggar the question-there’s got to be a better way to do this.  That challenge is still going on today, and with me it probably will never end.  It will definitely keep me out of trouble. Maybe!
