My mother in law has been teaching me to knit and so far I have knocked out a dishcloth knitted out of crochet cotton and have started one with a ball of 100% cotton.
I seems a bit strange saying ball of 100% cotton as the crochet cotton is 100% cotton too so how do I specify there is a difference? I would have said it was ? ply but there was no such measure in the packaging.
I have been writing this for a few days and have now finished the second one and it came out nice and square and feels lovely and soft in the hand, not a dropped stitch in sight.
Well better go and cast on for another one.
That's so great! It's quite addictive isn't it? Mel x
ReplyDeleteLooks pretty neat to me, well done learning a new skill, I know it's not easy.

Have fun - you'll get better as you go. Pretty good for a 1st attempt! and yes it is addictive.
ReplyDeletecheers Wendy
A great way to learn to knit ,on dishclothes as you have something so practical when you have finished. Well done.
ReplyDeleteGreat start with your knitting! I get too frustrated with knitting so have taught myself to crochet, for whatever reason I find having only one stitch on the hook at once alot easier to deal with lol. One day though I hope to become a proficient knitter,,,I hope I can follow your progress for inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to exploring your blog further, I have only just discovered you via Down to Earth :-)

I've just started up learner knitting again - I've made 2 dishcloths and this weekend I hope to try a new pattern. Such a sense of achievement when you finish one, eh?
ReplyDeleteWell done! I am learning to knit too and finding it very addictive. I started with dishcloths, then I tried handwarmers. They are another easy knit that is practical too. Enjoy your knitting :)
ReplyDeleteOh I didn't see this post, I've been practising knitting too, your dish cloths look good, I just made some easy things like a headband and a cowl. I just taught myself ribbing, there's some great videos on youtube, but even better if you have a real person to help :) I hope I can do fancy lacy knitting one day, must keep working in it, maybe in ten years time....
