*happy* I can KNIT!
Yesterday, I had trouble knitting because (I discovered today) that I was doing it wrong! Well... during the main bit, I was hooking the wrong bit out, that's why when I try to move onto the next row it goes all weird. But the weirdest thing is, it sort of worked yesterday. That wrong method worked on my first ever scarf wooly bracelet. But today I decided to give it another go and it just wasn't working, so I tried it another and it worked!!! I shouldn't have said 'another way', it should be: I tried it the correct way and it worked! =D
There was still another problem though... my scarf (or whatever I was knitting, it was just a practice) was getting wider and wider. As you can see in the photo below, the left bit just got wider and wider. But then I finally managed to KNIT IN A STRAIGHT LINE! Wooo! Each row is finally the same width... if I carried on, I think I would have went from 10 stitches to about 30 stitches in a row.
To be honest, it sort of looks like a half done glove... I'm so talented, my second try and I made half a glove! Jokes. If I was truly talented, I wouldn't have done this, I would have knitted a normal straight line the first time xP
But I discovered that I could knit so much quicker after I was doing it the proper way. This only took me a few hours xP I had some trouble ending it though... so I might practice ending it a bit more before I work on my mum's scarf.
I think I know how to make hats... to make a round shape you probably just increase the stitches like what I've accidentally been doing? Who knows. I'll just stick with scarves for the time being =]
Wooo I can knit ^^
