Knitting

Learning how to knit. Thought I could do it by a book. It was hideous, this thing I made. Don't ask, it had issues. My friend Shelby told me to go to this site, http://www.knittinghelp.com/, it has movies to show me how to do each stitch. Ok, but I also have problems with holding the yarn, I'm a crocheter. We hold the yarn with our left hand (if right handed) and knitting says for me to hold the yarn in my right hand. Total foreign feeling for me, just can't do it.

She said to do the continental knitting. Continental knitting is to knit right handed BUT you hold the yarn with your left hand. BINGO! We have a winner. Had to rip out all my stitches of this ting I had made. Poor thing had major issues. Started over with the instructions given via the net, worked a few stitches...oh boy. What a difference. This thing is gonna be pretty now. Making a needle wrap to store my knitting needles. Great practice cause I was bragging to my husband. Yes, I brag. He wants me to make him a black wool sweater for him. Uh huh, ok, I'll get right on that. NOT. Let me practice some more dude. So anyways, I want to say a big thank you to Shelby. Now, onto learning how to read knitting instructions.
