I have been wanting to learn how to knit for years. I tried about 13 years ago. I had a co-worker who knit and she was willing to give me a starter lesson. I started a scarf and never finished it. I just can't get my left hand to do what I need with the needles so I walked away from it all.
Last week, inspiration hit me and I did some reading and digging online and found a solution for myself. LOOM KNITTING! I can handle this!
I bought myself a round loom and some bulky yarn. Armed with a youtube video, I went to town.
A hat! A hat with a fancy brim! No fancy stitches but I just love it.
This one was intended for my husband but it's a tad too short for his ears so I need to make him another. He also requested that I make 2 more for his parents. Amelia wants a red one. I'll be hitting Michaels this Saturday to stock up on some more yarn and maybe a few more looms.
Next on my list is learning some different stitches. My SIL would like a pair of knit boot toppers. I found a great tutorial for them but they start off with a chain stitch and I don't know how to do that at this moment. I can see a plethora of knitted items for Christmas next year. Hats, scarfs... you name it, I'm going to give it a try.
Enjoy your day!
