… the Burridge Lake Aran Afghan!
It was a delightful knit and design. I thoroughly enjoyed the process. My afghan was designed to be symmetrical with mirror image panels on the sides and a center panel with mirror image braids on the sides. The edging is also symmetrical.
It also contains a number of different braids, trinity stitch and bobbles. All to minimize the use of the boring stockinette/reverse stockinette stitch. The trinity stitch was particularly enjoyable since it added some work on the WS rows.
The afghan was started at the end of March and completed in the middle of July. It then took a week or so to write up the pattern properly. It’s amazing, but it’s really different to write up a pattern for someone else than to keep notes for myself.
Anyhow, the pattern was submitted to MAGKnits, and as you know by now, accepted for publications. I’m very happy with the result.
Hi, this is truly awesome, a real challenge for someone like me with ADD! Follow on question from Bonnie's – if I knit A,B and C as one piece, do I still slip one stitch for each panel?
No, if you knit as one piece, then you only slip the outermost stitches.
