Look! I’m knitting! Thanks to my friend Lauren for letting me borrow the right size knitting needles, and thanks to my boyfriend for buying me the yarn! It’s LionBrand Homespun, which I love. This scarf is using the knit stitch only — no purling here.
Here’s my first stockinette stitch swatch. I didn’t finish a purling swatch because I ended up skipping a stitch and just took the whole thing out. I think I might try a scarf with the stockinette stitch — I’d try ribbing but my ribbing swatch didn’t look good (and I dropped lots of stitches).
So I tried to knit last night, and this is what I got! I skipped a couple of stitches in there and it’s sort of misshapen, but for a first try I’m pretty pleased! I think I’ll try purling tonight.
So there’s a pretty neat (and free) online program that lets you upload any photo and turn it into a crochet (or knitting) pattern for an afghan/blanket! It’s called KnitPro 2.0, and it can be used for sc projects (one block = one sc) or even dc filet crochet projects if you upload a two-tone photo (one block = 3 sts)! Pretty cool for a free thing. The link to it is in my sidebar as well so you can always find it on this site!
I finished my first pair of socks! I’m so proud of them — they fit and they’re gonna be so warm when winter comes!
