Knitting is not rocket science. I read somewhere that stripped down to it's essential component, knitting is based on just one stitich and what you do with it. Twisting it into a purl, increasing or decreasing it, or making it something a little different like a bauble or bead....Hi, my name is micki and I am a yarn addict (hi micki!). So far I've been knitting for about 8 years and crocheting for about 4. Mostly socks and hats because they're quick and I'm impatient. But I think that now I'm ready for a bit of a change.
So I'm starting a new project: a knitted bra-like top. Saw it in the book "the Urban knitter" and it looks like "How hard can it be?" Actually I know better than to ask that question. Knitting may be only a matter of one stitch, but knitting instructions are a different matter. I think it was the unecessary complexity of knitting instructions that daunted me and kept me for so long from the fun, pleasure, and relaxation of knitting.
There's this great website: http://www.knittinghelp.com run by a delightful lady living in (I think) Massachusetts.
Good basic stuff and she's got online videos for those who do better watching someone do the knitting thing.
Hopefully in the future (when I get a decent digital camera), I'll post some of my projects.
Ta Ta for now.
