Bamboozled!
As promised, here is a close-up of my progress on the bamboo basket I'm knitting. It's orange and red, so it *kind of* counts for April's Project Spectrum.
Like I said yesterday, this stitch pattern looks cool, but it is a beast to knit. Especially since I'm trying not to break the little bamboo fibers in the yarn. It would probably be easier in yarn with a little more give, like wool or even a cotton blend.
I've ben really busy at work lately, so I haven't been knitting much. But when I do, I want a mindless knit, and this is not it..at least yet. I just do not have the "feel" of knitting this in my hands yet. So anway, I'll probably be casting on a pair of simple socks soon to feed the need for stockinette! (I got some Regia cotton/acrylic blend on elann for a pretty good price - you should check it out!)

Very pretty and I think it absolutely counts for PS.

Oh, that's really beautiful! I can imagine well that this pattern isn't that easy to knit with so little give to it - but hey, you'll manage, I'm sure about that!

It really is a lovely stitch pattern! I like the colors (and yes, of course it "counts" for PS!)
Can you give me the dates of your visit again? I am thinking about taking off some time from work and wanted to make sure... :) It will be great to meet you!

Don't you hate it when work interferes with your knitting time?
The colors are very pretty !
