Elated because I love entrelac! **
When I was knitting my first sock, a friend in knit group told me to "trust the instructions" when turning the heel. Same can be said of entrelac.
I'm geometry-impaired and it's a mystery to me how it all works--but, it does. All I have to do is follow the instructions. However, very quickly, the knitting became intuitive and I was doing it on my own.
The pattern is the Lady Eleanor Stole from Scarf Style. Since I'm using a variegated yarn, it won't be a checkerboard design. But I'm elated how each little rectangle is different.
The yarn is custom dyed from Briar Rose--Legend. A dream to work with.
And I'm beyond elated with knitting backwards!
**This is a practice piece. After I figure out needle size that looks best and how to eliminate wonky holes. I'll be casting on.

congrats on knitting back backwards! I use it for all stockinette projects these days, and I mean ALL of them -
enjoy your project - I'm sure it will be wonderful!
Picture is great and I love the colors.
Great job. I can only second Margaret. I never pearl whenever I can avoid it. Thus I also do ALL my "stockinetting" this way. It comes in extremely handy when you turn heels.
All the best from a snow covered Cologne
Knitting backwards? When I did my brief knitting I never ran into this term. I love the colors in your variegated yarn.
I need to learn how to knit backwards. The bit you have done looks great, btw!
I, too, am knitting an entrelac piece for the first time. It's sort of a piece to use up stash, but I am liking it.
Perhaps I should put 'knitting backwards' on my list of things to learn for this year.
Thanks for entering my contest, too!
I did two entrelac projects a few years ago and I loved "knitting backwards". Now I'm not so sure I remember how to do it!! Oh NO!!! Maybe I should try again! It was certainly fun. Mine were two bags that got felted so I didn't have to worry about a little extra space in places. They turned out lovely!
I hear you about the skimpy snow! :)
