My Japan travel knitting project! Started before we left to confirm I wouldn’t have problems with the pattern on the plane.

2025-06-26

This didn’t end up being good for train/plane knitting. A little too complicated for brainless knitting, and the linen is fiddly and hard to work with. Frogged it three times before starting again on 3.5mm needles at home.

I eventually got the hang of the pattern, but working with lace linen was not fun and I wouldn’t do it again.

Made some modifications:

  • only 10 repeats wide at the end (110 sts) since that seemed big enough

  • wanted a way to tie it without knotting the ends, so did a couple rows knit, a row with k3, *k2tog, yo, k4* k2tog, yo, k3, then a couple knit rows

  • bound off with yarn over bind off
