Unknitting


Last year I made an object - lap rug or shawl, I'm not sure which. I used two yarns - a multicoloured smooth yarn and a very textured yarn in much the same primary colours. As it grew I became concerned that I was going to run out of the smooth yarn, so I inserted some rows of plain yellow, red and blue yarns interspersed with the multi. I didn't like the effect, especially with the yellow, when it was finished and the whole thing was bundled up and shoved in a cupboard.


A few weeks ago I found another ball of the smooth multicoloured yarn and bought it. Today I started unravelling the object. I will reknit it and hope I like it better when it is finished.
