Day Seven: Putting it Into Practice

What a great feeling…

Today I put into practice everything that I have learned from my lesson, what a difference.

I changed the way I was holding the needles, this rapidly increased the speed in which I would knit and ultimately lead to me dropping less stitches.

I also started wrapping the yard around my hand so that I always had slack in the line, rather than pulling more from the bundle every 4 or 5 seconds. This helped me because I could concentrate on the simple task of stitches, rather than how much line I need to pull out.

Today was the first time in this entire experience that I felt like I was making progress, felt that I was learning and felt that I was a beginner knitter. Today was a time where I didn’t have to look at guide books on the internet and I was reliant on the skills that I have previously learned.  I consider myself a very fast learner, but though this experience, I have learned that not everything could be my forte with little effort.

Today’s Emotion:

For now...
