Knit Wit
So last weekend I decided I’d once again try to learn how to knit. I’ve tried to learn from my grandmother when I was younger, but just couldn’t get it since she was left handed and I’d have to sit in front of her to learn. Then a few years ago my mother tried to teach me how to knit a basic pair of slippers. Needless to say they came out a mess, full of holes and my mom ran out of patience explaining knitting to me. I had a skein of yarn to practice with and the needles that my mom had bought me, so I figured, here I go. I looked online for a website that had diagrams of how to do the different stitches, step by step. Knitting Daily was the most helpful in getting me started. At first I did a few stitches,mess it up, pull it out and start again. I’ve must have done this several times until I could do a whole row with out a major mess up. I know by the picture of my project, it doesn’t look like much, but for me that’s a small accomplishment. I have no clue what I am making. I think I’m just going to use it as a way to learn and practice different kinds of stitches, and in the end, maybe use it as a small lap blanket. Hopefully someday I’ll be able to knit myself a scarf, but for now I’ll just keep practicing.
