Wife, Mom, Slave to my Craft: The one where I think this stitch is stupid.

20 January 2011

The one where I think this stitch is stupid.

Meet the risotto stitch. Made by:

Over an even number of stitches:

Row 1 [RS]: K all sts.
Row 2 [WS]: [P2tog but do not drop sts from left needle; k2tog in front loops of same 2 sts, drop sts from left needle] to end of row.
Row 3 [RS]: K all sts.
Row 4 [WS]: P1, [p2tog but do not drop sts from left needle; k2tog in front loops of same 2 sts, drop sts from left needle] to last st, p1.
Repeat Rows 1-4 for Risotto Pattern.

Very dense, reversible. Pretty.

Front:

Back:

Ohhh, ahh.

It looks just like crochet. It's taking forever to knit this and it looks just like crochet. Why am I killing myself to knit this again?

I agree, looks very much like crochet, but the long way to do it. What is this part of?

Photography is an art of the heart. If a photograph is not captured well it is not use so timing is very important for capturing. I must say you have really done a great job. I really like photos.

The one where I've had a headache for 5 years. I had a headache this big (the little one): Now it's this big: And it's regularly has this written all over it. I love you, son, but you never. ever. shut. up. I pity your future in-laws.

The one where I rip it out and start something new. Remember the obnoxious stitch I posted yesterday? Well, sometimes, we just have to face the music and let go. I ripped it out. I don't possess the necessary amounts of patience for something like this. So, farewell, Jaquelin cardigan, consider...
