My Precious
Here she is ... my Lady Eleanor-in-progress. I am ridiculously in love with it. Entrelac is dangerously addictive. I am using two colors of Patons SWS, Natural Earth and Natural Plum, and I am alternating them with each tier. It's fun to see how the colors emerge. If you look closely, you can see a safety pin in one of the squares. That's the point at which I decided it would behove me to figure out knitting backwards. (Not as hard as it sounds.)I love working on this, but it's getting a little unwieldy to carry around. As a little break from the entrelac, I made another pair of Cabled Footies, from some Peace Fleece that's been in my stash for awhile. But I'll save that for next time.

Wow, that looks beautiful! And very complex...I haven't tried entrelac yet, but I'll take your word for the addiction factor. Are you going to try Eunny's IK socks? AND. OMG, how about that news that she's the new editor!!!
Oh my GOSH! It is gorgeous!
Holy cow, that is stunning. It is not hard to understand your love for it at all. Similarly, I'm sure you can understand my envy. :)
OMG, some ladies at the Aloha Knitters are trying to talk me into this project. Yours looks wonderful!
Gorgeous! The Lady Eleanor inspired me to try entrelac (and buy some Silk Garden). So pretty! :)
Yours is the first project that has made entrelac seem appealing. It's beautiful!
Wow! That is gorgeous! The colors work so well together.
Not only does that make me want to make my own, but it really makes me want to try the yarn. I love the way you're alternating. Gorgeous.
Fancy! It's always amazing to me how the color changes work out so perfectly like that. Nice job with the alternating skeins; it looks very cohesive.
I know this sounds crazy but I haven't seen any entrelac that has tempted me - until now! Wow, is that gorgeous.
that is gorgeous! entrelac looks so complicated...but you're doing an amazing job so far!
So pretty! I love that Patons SWS. If I ever get around to trying entrelac, it will definitely be my yarn of choice!
So pretty! What a good idea for a yarn substitution!
I have no idea what the entreawhatever is. Nor the Lady Eleanor. But that thing in your blog? Gorgeous.
Beautiful!
looks gorgeous laura! love the colours.
OOOOH Purdy!
It is lovely - and a great idea to use that yarn!
That looks great. I've used the SWS natural plum on it's own and I like it, but I don't love it. Combined with the other color, I love it. Good eye!
Wow, its beautiful. The colors are gorgeous. Everytime I see this pattern knit up I really want to make it!
Wow, it looks gorgeous and the yarn looks so soft and luscious!
I want to bury my face in it!
I see, now, why you're calling this knit "My Precious." Mmmm... precious... need a precious...
The colors are gorgeous! Lady E's always look so amazing!
Wow, that's so pretty! I love your color choice. Did you learn to knit back and forth without turning to do the entrelac? I think I might have to go pick up some SWS.
Beautiful!!
oh wow.
it is incerdible!
That is beautiful!
Very nice! The colorways you chose work beautifully together. I know exactly what you mean about entrelac being addictive. I just started my third entrelac bag - I just can't seem to get enough of it!
Amazing. Absolutely Amazing.
Gorgeous!
You will have to forgive me. I thought of you this morning and thought maybe you hadn't posted in a while. Lo and behold, somehow you were off my Bloglines. I have no idea how long it's been!
You're back on now. You will hear from me again!
That's stunning. I like the effect you're getting from alternating colors. Makes me reconsider knitting Lady E again.
Oh god, it's looking *fantastic*! You've renewed my interest in this pattern. Planning on doing the fringe?
That is really nice. I've started my first entrelac garment (a sweater with Noro Silk Garden), and I can't put it down. I thought it was just me, but I've been knitting it long after I should have gotten to sleep. Entrelac patterns should come with warnings!
