gelukkig in de jaren zestig

today, i finished a big part of my masterproject ("all work no play" was the motto of the past few weeks)... the hardest and biggest part is done! (it still feels unreal, two more weeks 'till i have to defend my work for the jury, three more weeks 'till the graduation exhibition and four more weeks 'till i graduate... eek!)

so, i decided it was finally time for some play... :)
i picked up my needles and some leftover yarn and i tried to teach myself to knit "entrelac", which is a beautiful knitting technique that makes your knitting look like it's woven, it looks really gorgeous. here's an example:


i followed the instructions in one of my knitting books and the first three triangles went really well, but somewhere along the way, i totally got it wrong and ended up with this kind of artsy-looking , but ugly thing:

is there anyone who can help me out here? it's obvious that i'm doing something wrong, but i can't figure out what. hmmmm.

by the way: am i the only knitter/crocheter who loves buying yarn? i have more yarn than i have time to knit! i currently have yarn in stock for one pair of socks, for six scarves (!!) and besides that a whole stash of leftovers and yarn i bought at sales (only 2 or 3 balls of which i have no idea what to do with)...
