The original situpon had an 8-stitch ribbed cable, which makes for a great fabric but is interminably slow and boring! For this one I did cables that were 6-stitches wide but twisted only every 8 rows. Still boring, but marginally faster without the ribbing. And I like the big, lush cables that result.
Here's what the camping scene looks like, by the way. This was just as I was finishing .... knitting by the morning campfire ... drinking coffee and keeping the strong, slanting morning sun out of my eyes.
And a few snapshots from the rest of the weekend: climbing up "Ewephoria" ....
Cairns, lovely little cairns, marking the trails ...
And a refreshing dip in a shady rock pool for Isis ....
I love the color and the chunky, graceful cables of your new situpon. Isis is so cute wading in the cool water. It looks like a you had a great weekend! :-)
ReplyDeletegreat pics as always. Such a nice time. Our weekend was quite damp-chilly in the air but fairly dry, which was good as we had last minute painting to do at the camp. (all done now :) ) Had six deer religiously show up looking for nibbles as well as 5 stray cats, they are great though and keep the mice away! Lots of leaves and a nice fresh 20# king salmon compliments of hubby and his fishing pole.
ReplyDeleteReally like the cables and your camping trip looked lovely.
ReplyDeleteWOW. Your cables and your photography just amaze me!!!! Fantastic situpon....hate to sit it satupon
ReplyDeleteI so enjoy reading your postings. Lovely photos, adventures, and knitting! I too like the loftiness that the cables produce...comfy and warm for sitting on.
ReplyDeleteI'd spend more time sitting than climbing, even without such a wonderful sit-upon. (Scared of heights, here. Or rather, scared of falling.) I'll happily let you do the incredibly-brave tall work, and I'll just enjoy your photos from here safe on the ground...
