Notes

Finally got to collect all my notes, and on a windy sunny day somebody caught me between a wall and a camera.

This project was inspired by a combination of the very, very old, and the almost impossible, eg. iron-age garment and how to checker the uncheckerable (and knit the unknittable) - the development of the spiral is described in the https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Met-Mari/chromataxis--wi... project.

The dress is knit in one piece and then steeked in 3 places. The only sewing is under the arms and back.
Final colors was determined from the purple base color so there is some splitting and use of non coast yarns. And some unsightly entrelac borders because linen vs cotton vs alpaca will not meld.

Final diagrams and provisional pattern can be reached here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8k2pg4eqmg4ex4y/AABHT2Ea4JhQLA...

IN DANISH!

På en blæsende solskinsdag blev jeg fanget mellem en mur og et kamera.

Inspireret af egvedpigens bluse, formet af et vævet kvadrat uden spild.
En hel del matematik og min bedstemors kærlighed til lilla.

Feels like I have been knitting the swatches for a million years…

Almost finished just needed blocking, but project fatigue has set in and I somehow need to make a couple of dresses and two other knits before I end this.
