Diamond in Rhombus is the last one in Furballs' Deck of Cards. I left it as the last one to write up because I really had no idea what frame work to put the diamond in. Again, negative energy saved my day. Rhombus, rhombus, rhombus..... I can knit one up unintentionally if my tension is not right in a bias knitting project, or I can deliberately knit one up with use of increase and decrease stitches.
A total surprise to me is the second illusion in the piece. Somehow when the piece is done, the diamond is not "centered" in the rhombus. I checked the chart once, I checked the chart twice, and I kept on thinking. Here is my conclusion. Firstly the lines of the frame work interact with the lines of the diamond to make it a little bit tilted visually. Secondly, I think is the stitch width of the increase and decrease not totally matched, and with using them on one side consistently like in this work, the misfit magnified. But I think this actually added in an extra charm to the finished piece lol
Diamond in Rhombus is now available in my Ravelry store.
Happy knitting :)
