Today was a good day…
Friends of mine gave me some knitting lessons, although I didn’t work on my project or try to complete my goals; this experience is definitely worth reflecting on.
Apparently I was doing everything wrong; from the way I was holding my needles to how I was casting off at the end of my swatch. This lesson really opened my eyes to how I can improve both my technique and the speed of my stitches.
My lesson showed me that there are so many different stitches and I only have thought about completing a few of them. I learned about the advantages and disadvantages of different needle sizes and how the tightness or looseness of each stitch and the effect that it has on the overall look of the swatch.
The most important aspect of this lesson was watching her actually knit. Sure, someone telling me to do something or how to improve would work in the sense of me learning a little bit, but actually watching someone knit allowed me to realize what I was doing wrong rather than be told what I was doing wrong. This was a great learning experience for me.
Today's Mood: Excited
For now...
