Inspired knitting due to Anthropologie- 3rd class

Knitting 3rd class

I  now know how to 1.cast on, 2.knit stitch and the 3.purl stitch, and 4.cast off.

Sometimes you can become lost with losing stitches, and it is hard to remember how to go back and do one type of stitch after you using another stitch.
Before I went to class, I did a swatch with a cast on, then a knit stitch and then a purl stitch (then a knit then a purl stitch) and I kept switching back and forth between the stitches. In the class then the Instructor taught me how to cast off the swatch.
Also found out how to measure the stitches, etc.
The instructor will try to show me how to pick up lost stitches next class. This will be the last class unless I keep taking additional classes the instructor might offer. Most likley I will keep taking classes for now.

Until my short 4 week course of Italian classes start.

That is all for now.


 Did see the Target Ad. They will re-introduce the designers dresses on March 13th. Selling the dresses for a short time.

Inspired knitting due to Anthropologie- 2nd class

2nd day of knitting class. This class went much better than the first class. Using circular bamboo needles, USA #10. Bulky yarn, went and bought different yarn still bulky yarn However, not fuzzy yarn (this was making it hard to see the stitches).And dark yarn also makes it hard to see your stitches, using white yarn this time.
I started again, figured out how to cast on and then the knit stitch my myself. Next class will start with a sample and practice the purl stitch and casting off.

I will try to post my start progress so far. My mother and I, we our taking the class together. Which is also a nice way of spending time with my mother and we are being productive. I also enjoyed the talking (spending time with other women in the class)

Pinafore Pullover and Tea's Ribbon Cardi by Rosie Neira has inspired me to try knitting

Today I went for my first lessons in knitting. Not easy to remember all of the steps to knit. However, you can tell if you practice you tell this will be a little easier to remember the steps. Casting on then knit stitching.Trying to make a scarf. We shall see?

The instructor has us using a circular bamboo knitting needles, #10 USA needles, with heavy weight yarn.

Selected a pretty yarn of many different varying colors of blues. However, this has fuzz which makes it a little hard to see if you made your stitches.

I then decided to go buy anther set of needles and some additional yarn to try that does not have fuzz in the yarn. However this is a heavy yarn.

That is all for now until next Saturday.
