I have decided to set myself a challenge and try and learn a new craft that i am a complete novice at and thought i would log it all down in my blog so let the trails and tribulations begin .................................
Ok so i collected the things i thought i would need which was wool, knitting needles and a getting started booklet!!
So the first thing is to cast on now let me tell you it took me about an hour .........yes you heard right AN HOUR! to cast on 27 stitches, i did however keep unravelling what i had done because it didnt look right :-0 so here is where 
i left it last night...............
Well done, that is one of the things I want to do, did a square neck, square sleeved jumper in the 80's and it turned out ok, but no increasing or decreasing to be done!! Did crochet blankets as well.
ReplyDeleteHave fun, then you can teach me!! x
Good luck Kelly...keep at it. I'm lucky I was taught to knit by my mum when I was wee and it was encouraged at my primary school. I've just come back to knitting recently and really enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteyou'll be wearing your own creations before you know it! Both my mum & gran tried to teach me to knit as a child but I'm left handed & they found it impossible.
ReplyDeleteI am finding it also impossible but will keep perservering for now! x
ReplyDeleteI was a very good knitter and crocheted bootees and bonnets in 1973 when my daughter was on the way. I suppose I knew how to hold the yarn then, doesn't work for me now!
ReplyDeleteKeep going!
