Learn to knit

I did try to have a friend teach me but I for some reason could not understand how to do the part where you go back(reverse) of the first row you make. x_X I can’t see how to do it in my head. 2 days ago

I finished my third dish cloth. This one is a knit and purl pattern (the first time I have purled). Now I am starting a scarf which has an increase and decrease in the pattern. I was invited to another knit night at the end of the month and I plan to attend. Perhaps I will have started a second scarf by then. 4 days ago

So it took me a bit of practice but I got the regular knit figured out. My next lesson in the book it pearling. I also need to practice with tension. I know if a grandma can do this do can I. 6 days ago

Went to the first knitting class but not the second. Haven’t really been picking it up. I will keep it on the list though because it is something I would really like to learn! 1 week ago

So I have mastered casting on. This was something that almost made me throw in the towel. I bought a teach yourself how to knit book thinking this would be the easiest way to learn. The book has a lot of diagrams of fingers and yarn and needles all twisted up. Gosh those are hard to duplicate. Well through much trial and error I figured out casting on. Oh boy can I cast. I think I even managed to make a knit on one row, but when I turned the needle around to go back the other way I’m pretty stumped. I can’t make another row of knitting. It doesn’t look the same. I think I’m going to have to you tube this or something. This is way harder than it looks! 1 week ago

I decided that it was time to get started on this goal. It has been on my list for a long time. I bought a “I taught myself to knit” book and a skein (I think that’s the word) of pink yarn to practice. I hope this is fun! 1 week ago

I’ve never knitted before in my life, but seeing a couple of my friends being able to make cool stuff, I decided to try and learn. So I’ve ordered a proper simple beginners’ book, now I need to find a shop for the materials, needles, etc, and some spare time to get started! 3 weeks ago

I learned to make cotton dishclothes and made a few for everyone I know over the course of Christmas. Now on to bigger projects! 3 weeks ago

I am working on a dishcloth that uses alternating knit and purl stitches. I have been invited to a Knit Night and I am planning to go tonight. 4 weeks ago
