I’m continuing work on my unfinished mittens (I actually started over so I could really do it right. I was kind of just making it up as I was going). And so I’m following directions now (for once!) on this training mitten pattern, and came to the direction “Increase 1 after the 6 and 18 stitch.” WHA? Yeah. I don’t know how to do that. Well, NOW I do! Thanks to happening on to:
They have amazingly clear how-to videos for everything from casting on, adding stitches, subtracting stitches and learning different knitting styles. For instance, my Mum taught me the Throw/American Method which is what I’ve done for years and been just fine with. But there are other methods too, like the German Method/Left-Handed Knitting or Combined Knitting, or BACKWARDS Knitting! German Method is actually easier than I thought, and I just followed the videos and WOW! I know a new method of knitting. YAY!
This is all well and good because I just purchased this beautiful sweater pattern on Etsy!
OH MY! It’s so cute but I’m sure I wouldn’t know all the directions. SO glad I found this website because I know it will help me along the way. Yipppeeeeee!
Happy Knitting!
