Week in Review: Day One
I hope that you are having a great Memorial Day! For those that are inside enjoying the A/C instead of the hot sun, here’s the beginning of our week in review!
Our first week of knitting, we learned all about how to knit .
This included figuring out which method would be best for you to use, Continental or English; how to create a slip knot and cast on to your needle and how to knit your first row! When then knitted a cute little coaster/scrubbie and learned how to bind off and weave in the ends so you could be done with your project.
During our second week, I introduced you to purling. There are two basic stitches in knitting: knitting and purling. While using the basics learned in the first week, I showed you how to make a purl stitch and by the end of the week, we had a cute little dishcloth to show off to our friends.If you are still having trouble or would like to go over those lessons again, please feel free to do so. Knitting is here and purling is here. The links will take you to the first day of each week so you can read through those lessons easily.
Tomorrow and the next day I’ll go over what we learned in the last two weeks and then day four and five is something special. This weekend I will also post some information regarding the month of June which is Crochet Craziness! TTFN!
