First up, everything I have ever knitted! I first learned how to crochet in college and did it for a while, remember this post and this post? I wanted to learn how to make something different, so I taught myself knitting out of a book. :)
This was the first thing I ever knitted. I was excited to a cable knit sweater, which seemed like a good idea...until I realized that I don't know how to read patterns! So for a long time, I had a rectangle of knit fabric, which was unused. Bummer.
Later on, my friend suggested that I turn it into a purse, so I knit up the side, crocheted a flower, and added some handles.
Not exactly my style, but still fun for a first project!
My second project was a scarf! I actually love this pattern a lot, but it is very subtle.
See how the lines wave from side to side? Kinda awesome, right? :)
My last project ever are these leg warmers. I actually wore them once to an 1980's party, which is probably the only way I would ever wear them!
Anyways, I really, really want to knit more, but my first step will definitely have to be learning how to read a pattern. Until then, these will be my only projects. :)
Do you knit?
Great creations!Well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
ReplyDeleteI usually pack away my knitting needles (and hooks) once summer comes, but I'm going to try make it into a year-round hobby this year. So far, it's working because I just finished some socks today! It helps that I'm trying to do mostly homemade gifts this year.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing with Adorned From Above's Link Party.

Knitting socks must be so much fun! I have yet to make anything that requires a pattern, but I am antsy to try. :)
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to knit, but I think it should be a winter project for me! :)
