I've already hit a snag before starting in that it calls for two yarns that are made by Lion Brand, which isn't a brand you can get in the UK unless you order from their website, which would be expensive and slow (and I'm far too impatient!). So I need to visit the magical House of Fraser haberdashery department this evening to find: a) one plain coloured aran yarn and b) one striped aran yarn, ideally in complementary colours and at least partially natural fibres.
You'd think that this would be simple, but not a single shop in Leamington could come up with the goods yesterday lunchtime!
I'm really looking forward to learning entrelac. As you can see, it involves knitting blocks in different directions to create an effect of woven strips. I think I understand this process in principle, but I am intriguesd as to the practicalities of it. I will try to blog fairly regularly to keep you informed of my progress...
