Unique Lattice
Something I enjoy doing very much is creating unique lattice/diamonds in my projects. I began this lap afghan using part of an existing pattern but waiting until that was complete before figuring out how I'd do the lattice. The only rule is that everything has to connect and be consistent. I've only finished one section but I hope it shows what I mean.
When I first started learning Swedish weaving it was accepted to do large lattice/diamonds inbetween the patterns but one day one of my friends decided to use small diamonds instead. And this is how we came to open our minds to the many other possibilities we could produce.
Sometimes innovations come out of mistakes but, regardless where they come from, it's fun to try new ways. If you don't like it, you can pull it out.
I'll post a photo of the completed project when it's finished.
