I have been a bit all over the place today with knitting and crocheting. I have done two more rows on the baby blanket which makes 12 total of something like 145, ha! I have also been working on the shrug that I mentioned and posted about yesterday, and I have done a couple of rows on my next wine bottle carrier. Needless to say, none of them are finished, but I have made progress on all of them.
I'm still trying to figure out good ways to get better at knitting, aside from just doing it all the time. I am about to start trying to knit with some fingering yarn (really skinny yarn that is often used for socks), which I haven't ever done before. I am not sure if it is more useful to knit with all sorts of things to get better or if it is better to stick with worsted and get good with that before moving on. Either way, I am having a lot of fun, but I would be interested to hear opinions of those in the know!
I went for a mani/pedi today that a friend treated me to and now I don't wanna mess up my beautiful nails! They look so fun when I am knitting and crocheting with them, though! In any case it was super relaxing and just a good time hanging out with her and a couple of other friends. A great way to finish off my last semester of school, probably ever! Unless I get a wild hair again that makes me wanna go for a PhD. Forget underwater basket weaving, though! I wanna do knitting or crocheting!
So many projects, so little time!! In other news, I still haven't heard back about the job, so I don't know yet if I can afford pretty yarn or not. I will keep you updated!
I was a bit like a magpie - I tried out any pattern that caught my eye, regardless of how complicated! It gets you used to loads of different techniques and yarns very quickly, although I still love going back to thicker yarns and fat needles when I need a rest :) Best of luck for the job - my fingers are crossed for you x
ReplyDeleteI admit, that is what I have been doing. I find super fun, but random things on Ravelry and just run with it.
