Entrelac!
I have recently become incredibly enamored of entrelac. I love the little triangles, I love knitting backwards (I'm doing that instead of turning my work), I love the interlaced look and feel, I love how variegated yarns look when knit in entrelac, and of course, I love how cute sheep are when holding entrelac-in-progress.
The only thing I'm not loving is that I'm having trouble figuring out how to calculate gauge for it. I tried a normal stockinette test swatch with the proportion of my head (56 cm) and got something that seemed like it was about five triangles too big. Then I tried cutting out those five triangles and got something that wouldn't fit a newborn. I'm working in between now. When I get it figured out, ZOMG! ENTRELAC FOR EVERYONE!!!!!! I'm thinking scarves. I'm thinking mittens. Socks. Felted and non-felted bags. Pot holders. Entrelac is good for everything!
What I'd really like, after my holiday knitting is over, is to make myself a big fluffy soft warm wool blanket. :) We'll see if I get the time to do that before winter ends. I really hope I do!
