With my Shark Tooth Tee done, I’m still working on my Homage to the Granny Square class, and started a new project.
For my granny squares/color class, I have finished the 4th type of square, and have 4 more to go, but at least there are fewer of the upcoming types. So this is all of the small popcorns – on to the medium popcorns!
Over the weekend I have started on a project I have been mentally preparing for since I got the pattern and yarn earlier this year, the Open Weave wrap (Ravelry link), designed by Nancy Marchant.
I was kind of thinking this was going to be really hard, but it’s not – it’s pretty straightforward! The biggest hassle is keeping yarn ends from tangling. The yarn I’m using is & Make DK from The Fiber Co. I’m really enjoying working with it. It’s an interesting fiber blend – mostly wool and alpaca with 10% linen. The colors I’m using are Betty White (white), Hot Like Me (red), Wink (darker blue), and Potion (lighter blue). Before I started this, I was thinking it was going to take a really long time, but now I don’t think so. It’s a pretty addictive knit.
Have you ever started a project you assumed was going to be really hard and then it wasn’t?

It looks fabulous so far, glad it’s not as tricky as expected.

I still love your granny squares! And the Open Weave Wrap looks fascinating! It looks a bit intimidating with all the ends, but also very cool and like it won’t ever be a boring knit.

That’s good! Because it doesn’t look easy at all.

It’s probably one of those things that as soon as you see how it’s meant to work it makes a lot more sense than it seems like it should.

Ooooh that looks really interesting! And complicated. Socks were the main thing I used to be scared of because they seemed so difficult, so glad I was wrong

It honestly is not hard. Managing all the yarn bobbins is the hardest part, and that’s not even bad 🙂
I remember that! And now you have conquered socks in a big way!
