Resting time
link to the KAL thread
________________________________
Resting time is good for athletes, but also for knitters:
- helps avoid strain from identical repeated movements
- helps with “recovery” when learning new techniques
- prevents boredom
boomerang shape - adjustable
quick and easy - with just 2 sections (garter and easy lace - the lace only has 2 types of RS row, so is easy to “read” )
any yarn: fingering - worsted (works really well with a yarn with subtle variegations like Tosh DK)
300m/330yds for a smaller scarf-style
up to 600m/660yds for a huge shawl.
Note that the lace is charted only.
Many thanks to the testers:
