I first saw the Honey Cowl on Tasia's blog and thought that it was gorgeous, and easy enough for me to do. So far, I've only made a few hats! I haven't tried anything more complicated than that.
It took a few tries to get started because my scarf kept getting a twist in it. I ripped it out and started again, but I got another twist! I had to have my friend start it for me since I had no idea what I was doing wrong. I thought I had made sure everything was straight!
Knitting is nice because you can do it sitting in front of the TV, on the bus, talking to a friend, etc. It's totally portable, unlike sewing. As much as I'd like to bring my machine to work and sew during my lunch break, I don't think that will ever happen.
I'm not very far on my scarf yet, but here's what I have so far.
It seems like a lot of sewing bloggers are also getting into knitting. Have you been bitten by the knitting bug?
I sure have and I'm literally just learning to knit! It's such a great thing to do whilst watching TV, I don't feel like I'm wasting time that way!
ReplyDeleteI meant also wanted to congratulate you on your blogiversary! I loved seeing all your outfits, the volume is really quite impressive. Some of the dresses you don't wear very often are so gorgeous...I do think you should give them a second chance ;o)
Just finished my Honey Cowl after seeing Tasia's! It's a great pattern...love your pink!
ReplyDeleteI like the colour of the yarn! I'm a knitter and sewer too. I like knitting as you can do it in front of the TV, just like you!
ReplyDeleteI always seem to twist my work when I use circular needles
ReplyDeleteI love that scarf! I've had it in my Ravelry queue but there's quite a bit to get through until I can start it.
