While I've started a blog about my research and creation of historic and historically based textiles, I also want to follow my more modern string work. This blog will now be that journey.
Recently I had a fantastic experience with my knitting. While working on a lace shawl, I suddenly hit the point that I was no longer simply following the instructions, I understood what the different stitches and yarn overs were doing. This increased my understanding of the structure of the piece. On a later piece, I found that understanding the structure of the piece also helped to "read" the piece to find an error -- before it reached the "give it up as lost" stage.
Certainly a milestone to celebrate!
