I made a Quant, an entrelac headband with some left over bfl yarn. It has a very nice subtle color change.
So, I took some more bfl left over yarn and made on with the garter stitch entrelac. It was faster to make but it used more yarn and lost the woven look of the entrelac. I like the contrast of the colors too much to waste the yarn!
I have ripped out the garterlac Quant and will reknit it-I can because I am the Knitter! (Nyki helped to unravel the knitting-you can only imagine how much help she was!)

ReplyDeleteLove the weave in blues like that, very pretty.
The multi-colored one looks like patchwork, but I agree that the blues and purples one looks nicer.
ReplyDeleteOne day, I'll get up enough nerve to try entre-lac.
LOVE the blue one! Of course the colors look eerily familiar:) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhy did you rip out the Quant?
ReplyDeleteI think they both looked great. I tutored a workshop on Saturday on entrelac!
