Dr. Suess Knitting

Jun 25th, 2007 by jae

Since last we met…

I have been knitting.
In a house. In a car. In a chair.
I have been knitting everywhere.

Knitting to and fro.
Knitting garterstitch as I go.

Red, orange, and yellow – they were nice.
But, Look new hues!
Olive, green, and teal blues.

Knitting round and round.
Not a purl sitch to be found.

With entrelac squares in every row,
Purling still has not been done.
I reverse knit stitch to finish every one.

My needles have been clicking,
With all the types of knitting.

Heh – too funny! Too clever you are! Knitting backwards. Must learn how to do this before I start entrelac. (sorry for lack of rhyming. Too early in the morning for me!)

So cute. You’re good at rhyming. :) Yes, how do you knit backwards in the entrelac?

Everything is looking very pretty! I recognized 2 of the 3 projects. What is it that you are working on in the round? One day I will cast on for my Lady E… :)

Excellent post! I like the poem. Very Seussian. Your projects are all beautiful.

If you haven’t seen Karen’s poem about her knitting at http://www.yarnismymetier.com, you should check it out.

All this knitting
Oh my, it’s profuse!
But still, I’ll attempt to seduce
A mere glimpse of one more
Oh please, I implore
The wait, it’s become an abuse!

Stealth Seuss Knitting!! Ok, giving up now- no topping that :P
But seriously, very very pretty, it’s making my (very cold) fingers itch – especially the Lady E

I took an entrelac workshop at Stitches a few years ago and the sample colors we used made the results look ugly. So I haven’t done it since. But now seeing it done with your color combos – I think it’s such a pretty technique!!

Great knitting and poetry to boot! Love the colors! Everything looks luscious.

omgoodness… i have been dropping in on your blog for a little while, imagine my surprise when isaw the progress shot today on your entrelac stole. i finished that same stole a month ago in what looks like the same exact noro colorway! i added about another 6 inches to the body of it on the length. i love it! i did the same one a year or so ago, in mango moon’s recycled silk—it is a show stopper! can’t wait to see yours blocked out!

Um, two of those I’d steal … based on color alone :-)
