Corrugated
Here’s a real-time look at the ribbing to my Autumn Rose.
It’s 2/3 done–I just finished the five rows of the second color, and then have five more rows, and then I’ll be done with the ribbing. I’ll admit, it’s not my favorite part,but I AM happy with the way it looks.
It’s one of those knitting ironies . . . it looks great but not that much fun doing it. Kind of like the bobbles on my Lotus Blossom shawl. I really hate making bobbles, and don’t even like them very much, but at the points of the Lotus Blossom, well, they’re perfect . . . so I suffered. This corrugated, two-color ribbing isn’t quite that bad, but . . . yeah . . . not actually loving it. At least it’s moving along.
And, really, that’s about it for now. I could probably find something to ramble on about (because you all know I’m good at that), but . . . I should go finish entering my monthly reading list in for tomorrow…. Can you believe it’s almost September already?
Oh, but there is one thing . . . Stitchy is running Rhinebeck Blogger Bingo again this year. Woot!
Have a great weekend, everyone.

I hated my ribbing on my sleeve because I did it on DPN’s and the purls are too loose and I don’t have needles (the circular broke that i swatched on!!) so now I’m like hrmm… kinda on hold.. I don’t want to get too deep into it before baby comes, kinda wanna save it! Can’t WAIT to see yours ahh!
Kind of like Channel Island Cast-On. Hate doing it, love the way it looks.
mmm, i do love the look of corrugated ribbing. Those colors look great, too!
Two colour ribbing is just so gorgeous, though!
Oh I know how you feel. I’m at the exact same point and while I think it’s beautiful, I cannot wait for it to be over. Especially since I’m doing the largest size so I’m doing 320 sts of corrugated ribbing. Just 5 more rows to go!
