Learning to Knit

Hello there, glad you found this blog. I created it to keep track of my knitting progress. You see, I've just recently learned how to knit and am super excited about it. My mother taught me a little about it and I've been learning from websites like www.knittinghelp.com and www.raverly.com. Both are great resources for any knitter, whether or not they are new to the craft, or an old hand.

I am creating my first project right now. It was going to be a pot holder, til I was told by a fellow knitter that, since I was using an acrylic yarn, it would melt. Right onto my hands in fact. So, its going to be a scarf now. I am not using anything more than the basic knit stitch. I want to practice it til I have it down pact. The yarn I am using is a lovely lilac color from Caron. I am using a 16 oz, or pound, skein.

If this goes well, I might get more yarn to make a hat to go with it.

Well that's it for now. Bye!
