Let's Knit, Part 3!!

Here's Part 3 of Let's Knit...detailing my new found love for knitting!!

If you missed Part 1 or Part 2, they can be found here and here.

 

So let me get you up to speed.

 

I finished Practice Project number 1...

which was all over the place,
a piece to try out all the different stitches, not worrying about mistakes.
I learned when it is folded just right,
and hung on this pretty hook for display,
 you can hardly see all the mistakes I made.

Practice Project Number 2 was next, (bottom, all chocolate brown).
When I finished that,

I started one more practice piece (top, brown and beige)

so I could be sure I know what I'm doing!!

  I finished and blocked Practice Piece Number 3, here's how it looks now.

The dark brown stitches are knitted,

the beige stitches to the left are pearled, the beige stitches on the right,

are stockinette stitches.

Now I am ready to really knit.

Here's the new yarn I purchased at Chelsea Yarns,

I am making a scarf.

I am really struggling with the yarn because it keeps splitting.

The yarn Leanne purchased for me, for the knitting class,

was much easier to work with.

 

It took me a really long time to get this far,

I had to rip it out twice.

 

My new motto, when it comes to knitting...

go slow and pay attention, you are not Andee or Leanne!!
