Hi, Norwegian patterns tend to be short on written and heavy on charts. Traditional knitting is almost always stranded and then must be charted. The UK patterns even post charts for stranded (and tedious written too).
The tricks to using charts are: color block different segments and write in the chart the number of stitches if you have more than 3-4 plain stitches of knitting at a time. If I could have remembered my own advice, I would have spent a lot less time frogging parts of the latest covid stress relief shawl...๐ I never had the patience to finish the Eleonora stockings. I have tried a few times, I do the cuffs and then I am bored ๐ If I feel up to torturing myself again, I will try another round. And this time Iยจll knit both parallel to keep tension fairly even. Btw, if anybody would like to hook up on Ravelry, my id is Mijauw: https://www.ravelry.com/people/Mijauw Gunvor On Wed, 29 Apr 2020 at 16:21, Wicked Frau <[email protected]> wrote: > I am knitting some socks but really am just trying to get better so I can > eventually knit these: > https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/eleonora-di-toledo-stockings > and these https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Islamic_sock.jpg > > You started out with charts and are now moving to written?
