Hey
So as per my new objective of this assignment, I will be learning different types of stitches. This, I feel, will facilitate more learning and ultimately fit better with the goals of this assignment. Once I have learned many different stitches, I will be making a hat, but not for this assignment and not before this due date.
When I was making my original hat, I was using “knit stitch” the entire time. This reflection will talk about the first two stitches I have learned.
Knit Stitch
This is the most basic types of stitches. This was the beginning my learning and ultimately the beginning of my frustrations. My major problem while doing this stitch was that I repeatedly missed a stitch and did not know how to pick up a lost stitch. To me, this stich is where I feel most comfortable. The simple process of pushing the needle through, wrapping around with yarn and pulling it through is almost a thoughtless action right now. But, this is just the beginning of my learning.
Purl Stitch
The Purl Stitch is where things got more complicated. It is almost like the knit stich but completely backwards. Though this experience of learning this new stich, I discovered that if I rotate from knit to purl every line, then my swatch has a different interesting pattern. Both of these patterns that I have learned seemed to have a very boring outcome. Plain, simple patters. Though this stitch I learned that I have a long road ahead of me. I struggled on this stitch which was very frustrating because I thought I was making progress with the knit stitch.
Well, the next submission will be my experiences with a few more different stitches. Hopefully it will go smoother than these ones.
Today’s Mood: Optimistic
For now...
