Mindless Entrelac

I have always loved entrelac as my mindless knitting. I think the reason is that you REALLY can be somewhat mindless about the whole thing once you get started. You work on one rectangle until all the stitches from the joining unit have been incorporated. You pick up one stitch for every two rows (unless you are doing something a bit unique). The knitting is just stockinette.

So I am about to leave for Camp Stitches East teaching an entrelac class. I have had an idea for a project for some time and figured this would be great plane knitting. Well these past thre days, I have been attending a meeting prior to my departure. The "mindless entrelac" has gone so well I am practically done with the project. There definitely isn't enough to take me clear across the country!

So while here in Sacramento I ran over to Rumplestiltskins to find some yarn for an additional project. I finally decided on a sock yarn. I brought my sock needles and socks have a lot of knitting.

But the point is, the entrelac went SO FAST I just wasn't prepared. I will try and post a picture after I return and get the project felted (which is planned in this case). Who knows, after checking out the vendor market, I may get another project done before I return home. Yea! for speedy knitting!
