Court Jester
Here is the progress so far on my LadyE. Now, the text of the pattern describes this as a "stole," a combination of "rich, elegant colors and soft yet rustic hand - a garment that might be worn by a medieval lady..."
Yeah - well, mine is loud and fun - drama and jeweltone colors.... and I've decided mine would be worn by the Court Jester- but I love it! And, what could be more fitting, the name of this colorway is "Mr. Funny!"
This is fun, fun, fun to knit! I bought four colors of Cascade 220 that match perfectly to colors in the main body yarn - and it's kind of fun to try and decide where to put a block of solid color - I'm just randomly throwing them in there. I'm thinking when I'm done I'm gonna make fringe that incorporates all the colors...
I'm thinkin' I might need to learn to juggle...

But it looks like you're having fun, and that's what counts!
Wow! I love those colors! Nice job with the entrelac. I haven't attempted it yet. Gotta get through some socks before I start anything new!
Looks great so far!
I love those colours! You're doing a great job so far!
Also, I've finished my 3rd pair of socks...you can add that to my tally :o) I should have the 4th pair done sometime this week but will let you know then. I know you aren't putting the tallies up until March, but I just want to let you know anyway ;o)
Hmm, jewel tones, regal purples - I don't think you'll have to learn how to juggle!! :)
Too funny! Definite regality with the jeweltones, but no court-jester overtones, whatsoever. ;-) Your Lady E looks wonderful so far!! I love the colors you chose for your stole. What a beauty! You're really flying on it, too- didn't you just start it yesterday?!! Take care and have a great Sunday, Lynda! :-)
Beautiful work, Lynda! I love the colors. Entrelac is so cool.
Are you an entrelac magician? I come back in 2 days, and you've got so much done. Is changing colours during entrelac messy (ends to weave in?). I like the colours thrown in at random.
Beautiful . . . simply beautiful. All the Lady E's I've seen are so impressive. They look so hard to knit, I'm so impressed by how fast you are going!!
ooo Lynda! Gorgeous!
Hurry up and finish so we can see it all done.
Love it Lynda! Can't wait 'till it's done!
that is so pretty. such rich and vibrant colors! (i love jewel tones) =)
Your entrelac looks great. Nice job! I really like the random blocks of solid color. Very, very cool. Plus, blue and purple, how can you go wrong? :)
I've been knitting for a long time, and I never knew what entrelac was. I've simple GOT to try it now. This is a good example of what the internet has done for knitting. There is so mcuch to learn about!
It looks great Lynda!

Lyn, it's beautiful! All my favorite colors, too. I gotta try it.
Oh Beautiful! I love that thing! It looks sooo much more elegant in person than in the book. Your colors are great!
wow lynda! absolutely fabulous! i love the colors you're working with for lady e :) one day, i'll have the guts enough to make a full sized one. can't wait to see it when it's finished! it seems like it takes long, but a tier here and there and before you know it, it's all done! it's better than having a deadline, anyway. great job!!!!
Hi Lynda--that's really pretty. I love the colors! I've never even thought about entrelac, not sure why...hmm. Hope all is well is SoCal!
Wow - you are off to a running start. I am excited to hear that you like the entrelac so much - and adding random blocks of color is a nifty design idea!
Whoa, nice Entrelac!!
Love the colors too! My mom would really like it, because she calls purple & blue 'her' colors, lol.
I really want to start an Entrelac pattern of some sort.......a-waitin' the right one to come along :)

LadyE is beautiful Lynda! I've been seeing the entrelac technique on a few blogs now and I'm thinking I might like to try that in the future. Have to finish up the projects I'm currently working on first though right? Anyway, I love the colors you've chosen.
