Knitting!

Guess who got knitting needles for Christmas and is teaching herself how to knit?? With the help of Youtube videos as well as my grandmother.

Here it my first project that I completed correctly!!

It's a dish cloth and so easy to make!! Knitting seems to take forever, so I probably will not be making much. I do love these dish cloths though, so I will be making more of these.

I am not a knitter, and do not know how to read patterns for knitting. But if you're interested, here is what I did.

Cast on 4.
Knit 4.
Knit 4.
Knit 2, yarn over, knit the rest of the way.
Knit 2, yarn over, knit the rest of the way.
(Continue that pattern until you reach 42 stitches on the needle.)
Knit 1, Knit 2 together, yarn over, knit 2 together, knit the rest of the way.
(Continue that pattern until you reach 4 stitches on the needle.)
Knit 4.
Cast off.



So if you know a thing or two about knitting, I hope you can follow that.

The youtube video that helped me learn my stitches was this one here. She really broke it down and it was easy to understand.




To learn a yarn over, I used this video. The very first stitch she shows how to do is the correct yarn over for this project.




Then to learn the knit 2 together, or the decrease, I used this video. Once again, it's the first stitch she shows how to to, the right-leaning decrease.... or knit 2 together. Remember, for this pattern you knit 2 together, then yarn over like in the increase video above, then knit 2 together again.
