Several months ago I was intrigued by a stitch pattern I saw over at Anna's blog, click: Art Machines
It was in my head and just didn't get around to giving it a go. This past week I made a beautiful full needle rib lace scarf for a co-worker in some single strand "Krinklespun" yarn. Knitted about 750 rows, blocked it and when ready to go I placed it on my piano so I could grab it on my way to work yesterday. When I walked back in the room my dog (still a puppy) had decided to play with it and had it in shreds.
My fault, I should have known better.
So, this morning I took out some leftover yarn (who has that? LOL) and decided to give the "Balloon Stitch" (my name for it) a try. The needle arrangement is fairly simple the change I made was some 1X1 ribbing on each end for a stronger edge. The tension I used was 6, I may drop it a bit; once I decide on the yarn I will do another swatch. Below swatch is directly off of the knitting machine:
This (Above) was done with some leftover silk blend yarn, I'm thinking mohair would be nice...this was to fine and a bit stiff.
