Yep, with the help of you tube, I have taught myself to knit. I can crochet, but haven't done that in quit some time. I don't even remember why I wanted to learn to knit, not sure what triggered that. I made this small baby hat in less than 30 mins.
Not sure what this is going to be yet. However, here I'm using two different yarns.
I have the knitting needles, and the knitting looms. I must say, those looms are easy peasy. I have a friend that still can't get the looms down pat, and I'm like DUHHHHH. Anyway, guess we all learn different. She can use the needles better.
Cool!! Good for you!!
ReplyDeleteI used to want to learn to knit. Now I already have too many hobbies!
ReplyDeleteOh you clever girl! I tried teaching myself to knit. I was able to figure the basic stitch and to knit a scarf, but when I made a mistake, I couldn't figure out how to take it back and start over. I had to tear out the whole thing! I just gave up!

I can crochet but am all thumbs with knitting. GOOD job, Tonya...I'm impressed that you did a complete knitted item in such a short time when just LEARNING. You have me totally beat with knitting!!!
ReplyDeleteWay to go, and good job. I don't use the looms, they slow me down and I get frustrated and cranky. We don't want that!
ReplyDeleteGood for you, i never knitted on a loom but enjoy hand knitting also i use to knit a storm on Knitting machines i could do them so fast now it only hand knitting

My friend is going to help me after Christmas. I know the basic stitches, but don't know how to actually make anything. She makes hats for premature babies.

ReplyDeleteI love knitting, so good for you!

ReplyDeleteYea! Another knitter in the club! Be careful, it is quite addicting.
ReplyDeleteI am slow and need to get caught up on blog reading! I tried to learn to knit about 2 years ago and my stitches were way too tight. It frustrated me so I quit. I think I need to stick with quilting.
