It’s a simple pattern (easy enough to do on the subway!)
Stripes and birds eye pattern are horizontal—I always do horizontal stripes with the birds eye.
Why? Habit!
But I recently saw a lovely swatch of double knitting... dark pink/birds eye/ light pink/ birds eye-- In Vertical stripes—and it looks so pretty!
Why with dozens and dozens of potholders that I have knit, in so many different patterns have I never thought to vertical stripes?
I try to be creative… but I recognize I fall into habits—I use the same colors or the same designs. Or the same stitches, I quickly fall into a habit.
Don’t we all?
I’ll be finishing this up tonight and away for a few days—and the next few potholders are going to be exercises in new double knit patterns... I am breaking my habit!
