My friend Heather agreed to teach me to knit. I didnāt think it would be so hard to learn! But Iām learning slowly and surelyā¦ my first successful piece will be a wideā¦ something, but it will be mine.
Not sure what Iāll try as a real piece, but hey itās progress!
:cheering:
Good for you! And your first bit of knitting doesnāt have to [B]be[/B] anything. If you incorporate a lot of different types of stitches and techniques into it, it can be a freeform wall hanging when youāre done.
Exactly! My first thing was a nothingā¦just long piece of knitting to practice with cheap yarn. Once you learn the basics youāre good to go for anything!:yay:
Yahā¦ I managed to pull a few stitches out by accident but at least it not a major thing Iām working on just my first practice piece. 
way to go.
Your 1st knitting is if anyone asks just a piece of art 
Well I finally got the knitted cast on when I was home sick yesterday. :cheering:
The only problem is my next couple of rows were very loose and wobbly. I guess i just need to readjust my tension as the bulky yarn Iāve been working with is pretty easy to use but going to a worsted weight yarn is weird now.
Anyway, thatās my little bit of knitting progress for today.
:woohoo:
:yay: Good for you!
It just takes practice to get even tension. Youāre doing great!
Yay! Thanks Jan ā¦ now on to conquer the dreaded purl stitch!
I have finally gotten down the last casting method everyone and their mother has been telling me about. the Long Tail cast on!
Once someone showed me how, it was really easy! I was skipping that last tug through from the thumb, now i just need to master my tension when casting on but Iām so excited that I finally got it! :woohoo: :woohoo:
does a new thing learned shimmy
next up, the dreaded purl stitch!
:yay: Purling isnāt too hard. Once you learn it you can do anything!
:cheering: You can do it! Just takes practice. My first āthingā was a REALLY LONG, LONG, LONG, LONG scarf. I kept knitting on it for months 'cause I couldnāt figure out how to bind off (KnittingHelp wasnāt around thenāheck I donāt think the internet had even been invented-yep Iām that old:teehee: )
Finally, one day, something clicked in my head and I understood it and bound it off. I still have that extra long scarfāI donāt wear it because its about 20 yards long:roflhard:
