This was my first attempt at entrelac knitting and
it was surprisingly easy. It looks so wonky until you
get into the second or third tier. Even then, I often
had to reassess to make sure I was on track. I used
size 5 mm. needles and Paton's SWS in "Natural
Earth". This yarn was made for entrelac knitting.
It gives you these beautiful colour gradations at
just the right time so you don't have to mess around
with changing yarn colours all the time. It's a
luxurious 70% wool, 30% soy blend and I loved the
feel of it while knitting. I've decided to leave it all
puffy rather than blocking it for now.
I've seen it done both ways. I've already bought
more SWS in "Natural Pink". I may add
pompoms to the ends of the next one.
