Distraction

Yes, I am distracting you with a pretty test-knitting because this week was hard due to some health issues with my husband. I only exercised once and don't care to look at my weight today or relive each day in this post, just a little too personal for the blog. :) Lots of worrying and focusing on him.

So, please be adequately distracting by the lovely geometry.

Magic Squares and Rays Potholder Test Knit
Yarn: Royale Fashion Crochet Yarn
Color: White and Sage
Content: 100% Mercerized Cotton
Care: Machine washing, block and air dry
Needles: US 1 - 16” circulars
Gauge Ratio: 1:1.1 (10sts per inch/11rows per inch)
Pattern: Magic Squares and Rays Potholder

I was only about one-fourth done at this point, I am now about a third. It's slow moving due to the cotton on such small needle is hard on my hands.





But I even like the way the back looks. My tension with the colorwork is pretty good on it. I am doing Continental/Picking with the white and English/Throwing with the green. It is definitely improving my English/Throwing technique as this is something I struggle with.




I will most definitely be knitting this pattern again, but in some pure wool!
