Hey, I finished a knitting project for the first time ever -- this slouchy hat, pattern from blythetoday!
I finished it with much jubilation and help from a friend, I, who can actually read patterns and deduce their meaning. I cannot, let me tell you. Every time I was like, "What does this mean? I'm lost and confused!" my friend I would make me a video and upload it to YouTube and show me exactly what I needed to do. It was so helpful, and thanks to her, Gavin is rocking this hilarious hat.
When I put it on her head, I started laughing and couldn't stop for about forty-five minutes solid. It's the funniest-looking thing ever, mostly because of the yarn I was using, I think. It reminds me of Glo Worms and it looks like something Dobby from the Harry Potter series might find very fashionable!
I can't believe I knitted something... I just find it so difficult, I'm really surprised I was able to finish this. I definitely couldn't have if it had not been for my kind, patient long-distance video tutor.
The hat turned out to be quite fun Jane, I love the "glow worm" effect!
ReplyDeleteI think it almost looks like a shell and the colour combination is also perfectly beach like ... sand, sea and surf!
Perservere with the knitting, you're doing a great job.
Hugs,
Sandi
