An amusing little cartoon I found on another blogger's site. heheh .... however, back to the Lyra . I'm amazed at the poor quality of knitting on the Lyra in the picture below. The centre is sloppy and the ladders are very pronounced. I'm hoping my Lyra will not have these flaws. I'm also knitting the square version, and it will be stretched on an oak frame and hung in my dining room. My Lyra is cobalt blue, the wall is white, and I collect milk glass and cobalt blue glass, so the colour combination should be pretty dynamic by the time it's done!
