i have been wanting to try that two-end knitting dealie and this was my practice swatch. once i realized you had to do two-end knitting in the round -- or go insane -- i was actually kind of pleased, because then my swatch could immediately become something of use to me. i have a wedding to attend in october and needed a little envelope bag to carry (even i know that an army navy shoulder bag, or a bag knitted out of contractor trash bags, isn't appropriate for a wedding.)
do click on the image to enlarge it; you can see some nice detail and get a feel for how two-end knitting does look different from just making a pattern stitch with knit and purl stitches.
also exciting: check posts in the coming week or so and do notice what ought to be improved images. ben has been five years with his company and last night was given an anniversary gift of a VERY slick, very tiny digital camera that has 14 times the resolution of the one we have now -- plus an HP printer/flatbed fax/ scanner/copier. thank you ben's company!!
the new camera will easily fit into my new little "dress up" bag to take to the wedding. yay!
and as for two-end knitting, i'm very interested. the next step is doing it with two colors. stay tuned.
