Thank You, Nora! It is a pity I cannot get yarn coloured like this here; well, I can get it, but not to an acceptable price to really experiment with! AUD ;-)

Thank you Janise! Yes you can get very similar coloures, I think! But this is not Kureyon, it's Silk Garden (45%Silk, 45% Kid Mohair, 10% LambsWool ) Aud ;-)

Thank You, Marie! I agree with you about Noro! I can get Noro only at the web, there are two webshops in Norway which can give me the best price, but still it is very expensive here, So I don't think I will experiment with big works ;-) AUD ;-)

No Aud i can`t do all , but thank you for the Compliment i will try and explain my hat for you , it really started when i wanted to knit an Enbtrelac Raglan , and realized that all patterns for raglans advice to make rectangular body parts with sude 1/2 squares that then where sewn together into squares to resemble te squares on their respective rows of squares... this put questions into my mind and thought that If i knit in the round anyway why not do the WHOLE round ,,, anyway when you do the next row of squares yiu have to knit towards the other side ,,, [if one group leans to the right the next group will lean to the left ,,,, this solved i made my hat and mittens ,,, hat I must admit i put the sweater`s hem on my head to know how many stiches i will need .. and found i needed enough stiches to make 6 squares all around my head , The width is determined by the diagonal of te squares not width or height. knited a hem of k2 p2, than made the tringles that start the Entrelac, and made 1 round of the original sized [8st] squares, than at last one turned to knit the other size and reduced one stich ,, this way every round of squares were smaller in 1 stich , came to a round wehere i had 4 st in a square, when i had the one stich left =6 stiches knited one more round and gathered all with a treadand sewing needle .. hope you got the idea,,,, mirjam

LOL, Mirjam I started EXACTLY like you! But this time I ded NOT reduce with one stitch, I just knitted stright ahead in the round to tha last "row" of braids. Then I redused with one stitch. After that I finished by making a row triangles, they were also reduced by one titch. At last I knitted a round: K2tog., and then gathered all the stitches as you say. The reaso why I did not reduse every braid row this time, was that I felt my last hat (done like that) would look better to me if It was a bit wider at the top. I have never knittet with triangles in side, only in the round. So I think I have to try to learn that too. But I somehow think it is easier, everything you can do in the round. Aud ;-)

Thanks for this, Aud, I've just saved it in my entrelac text file!

It's true that the yarn does it but it still shows your talent in selecting the right yarn. Yours is much more attractive than the one shown with the pattern which I was finally able to get to last night. Also, I like the way you made it wider at the top by not doing the decreases.

Wow, that is really pretty, Aud! :o)

Thank You, Gemini, it was fun to do! Aud ;-))

Pick up 9 sts purlways along edge of 1st triangle,turn "

But it doesn't say whether to do this with the other color of yarn and which needles to pick it up from! Can someone spell this out for me in words of one syllable, please? Do I use the DP needle & the yarn I used for the ribbing and pick the sts up right from where that yarn ends? And then how does that yarn get to the next triangle?

I knew I was flying too high to try this when I've never done entrelac before.

Thanks for any advice,

Here are a couple of links to get you started. Look closely at the direction of the stitches in each square.

use the needles with which you knitted the base triangles, picking up stitches along the side of the triangle. You can either use the same color as the base triangles or change the color for the first row of squares.HTH DA

OK, I think I get it. I think the problem is that the pattern didn't state clearly "repeat these X rows until you have completed the round, then pick up next color and work a row of diamonds." The pattern looked to me like you knitted one base triangle on the ribbed round and then knitted a diamond, etc.

Thanks...

Welcome. Yes, you got it. DA

Spampot , let`s go slowly ,, first i do advice making it on a Circular needle ,,,, I understand you traingle came to 9 stiches , this is the time to change color , turn knit , now take a stich from the next triangle [on your left hand needle] pass your 9th st over the one you took from neighbouring triangle , turn purl 9 ,,,,,turn do the same as above ,, at the end of the rows you have arectangle that starts on the `selvedge of one traingle , but `closed` the next triangle ,,, when coming to the last row your thread is in a position to make new stiches ,, so to speak around the corner of the triangle you closed ,,, mirjam

I come that far too!!!!!AND then it stopped for ME!!

But what is ment, you do triangles untill you have done a whole ROUND/(Row) of triangles! When one triangle is finished, (you stopped with 2 sts. tog.) then start a new; don't break the thread, just start again on the next stich!

When you have done triangles all the way around, THEN you break the yarn, (if you work with two colores, you take the new colour now) turn your work, and pick up 9sts purlwice along the edge of the first triangle you made.

Then, moving the"wrong" way, you work a new round/row, and you get, what I call a round of "braids"

Then break your yarn, change colour, and do what is descibed for the next roud!

You are not flying too high! I made it!! You'll do too. It is the pattern which is not accurate! Good luck! AUD ;-))

I always feel so much better when I realize it's the pattern and not me!

I'm almost finished with the second round (i.e. the first row of squares/diamonds). I've saved that pattern in a file with my own and Aud's additions and clarifications. I think sometimes I should volunteer to try out patterns and edit them for clarity. Think I could get paid for it? ;)

LOL! Good, then you just have the finishing left, for now there is nothing "new" as far as I can remember! AUD ;-)
