My First Time Knitting!


HI!  Today I would like to share with you that I have knit a cowl for the very first time.  A dear friend of mine suggested that we learn to knit together so I decided to take the plunge.  She shared THIS very good video with me on how to make a cowl.  I've never knit before and it was a bit of a stretch for me.  I did take the stitches out lets say....a few times. :)  I finally got the hang of it, and then it was like I just could't stop. Ha!  I used the Red Heart Stellar yarn in Comet. I love the variation that it has.  Plus, it's very soft.  One of the best things is that you can't see the imperfections very well either. :)

It's wonderful to try new things, and I've already started another knitted cowl, but with smaller yarn and needles.  It's a bit of a stretch for me..I must say that I like crocheting better, but it's a new skill I'm going to try to work on.

What about you?  Do you like to knit or crochet or both?

Well done! Those video tutorials are such blessings! I have not plunged into the world of knitting yet, but my daughter loves it. You have something fun to do in the new year!

Wow...you go girl!! I can crochet only and just a few things at that. I never can find time to sit down long enough to learn something new.
Your cowl is beautiful! Keep up the good work my friend!

Hugs,
Amy

I know how to crochet and knit, but for me crocheting is faster.
I like your yarn choice.

I think it is just wonderful that you are at least trying! It really looks warm and cozy. And the videos are so wonderful to have as a tutorial!
The yarn is very pretty! Keep it up as it will never be wasted in what you learn! Happy New Year, dear friend!
