knitting lesson one 06/12/11


my messy sewing room i love it
Let me start off by saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASMINE my daughter turns 14 today. I can remember her taking her first steps and now she wants to wear makeup.Well I am showing my knitting project. I bought this little pamplet book and it has stages to teach you how to knit and project to go along so my first project of course is a scarf. I found the yarn at walmart and thought this would be good. It is very bulky but i love it and it is coming along good. I will knit on my lunch at work and when i am winding down for bed at night. I would love to knit a nice summer sweater by the end of july and maybe 3 winter sweaters by end of september. I should be finished with this scarf by thursday thats when my oldest returns home with company. Life is going to be very different after thursday i will have a house with 3 young adults my 2 and my son friend and then 1 teenager my daughter. This will be a great time to sew and knit. I have a tiny sewing room and i do mean tiny take a look at the pictures but i am happy with that. 2years ago i didnt have a sewing room so i am making progress. The sticth i am learning first is the knit stitch which makes a garter stitch when every row is done in a knit stitch. I probably will do a purl stitch in the middle just to mix thing up and then finish with the knit stitch. I am not doing the exact pattern as book say but i like to mix things up as you can see in the robe. Have a blessed Sunday and enjoy your day. It will be hot in atl.
