The great art of knitting
I checked out a DVD from the library about knitting. I was watching the beginning lessons and was rather surprised to find just how different the instructor\’s way of knitting was from mine. I\’ve done a lot of knitting, but I now I know how to tie a slipknot! And I\’m now learning how to purl!!! Before I only knew the knit stitch.
It\’s amazing how long one can know how to do something without knowing how to do it properly.
I\’ve been giving writing a break lately. I may be resuming at some point, but I don\’t know when. Anyway I wrote a post today!
And incidentally, if you are wanting to learn how to knit, getting some one to show you how to do it is probably best. Second best is probably getting a DVD that shows you how. A book is very hard to follow, it helps a lot to be able to see what is supposed to be done. I started a really pretty basket weave purse for my doll. And that is all:)
