Yesterday I went to the thrift store so that I can buy some extra yarn to practice on & got a bagful of these for only $1.99. What a nice selection! I have been practicing on the KNIT stitch all week and feel like I’ve got the hang of it. One of the hardest things about knitting at least for me is hand coordination. I still feel a bit clumsy. This weekend I will be practicing on the PURL stitch. After I get the hang of that then I will be able to create many things. According to the experts there are 4 basic techniques that are essential in knitting:
1.) Cast on: The first initial stitch to get you started
2.) Knit stitch: One of the 2 major stitch patterns
3.) Purl stitch: The other major stitch pattern
4.) Bind off: The last stitch to close up your knitting.
I am going to try & blog at least 3 times a week, no weekends. I want to talk about more than just my projects though. Maybe one of the days I’ll update on projects, then another day I can write up product reviews, then another day I can share my opinions on a topic. I can talk about anything and everything! I wish Blogger was more user friendly. This platform is so outdated! Links are not working and missing pics, it’s disturbing. I’ve been writing mostly from my phone so maybe I’m limited to what I can do. I wonder if the blog hops still exist? When I get my Etsy shop running again I will probably open up an Instagram account for my business. Not anytime soon though. That is the only major platform I have not tried yet as a marketing tool. I don’t think it was around back when I started.
Thank you to everyone who reads my blog. Have a great weekend!
