Joining Ginny at small things for a yarn along again. This week, I have just been teaching myself to do things I haven't yet mastered. The creme colored yarn is my attempt to learn how to increase. It took watching a you tube clip for me to get it, but get it I did. I am making a coin purse for my daughter. The second swatch, hanging from my statue, is my first attempt at switching from one color to the next. It worked really well, and I know I will like being able to knit multi-colored items. The book is another cook book. I really do read something other than cook books, but I am trying to pull together a good menu rotation so that menu planning will be a more streamlined effort. I am re-reading Nourishing Traditions. Especially paying attention to the section on lacto-fermented products and making broths. I would like to make several batches of meat broth to keep on hand. I still haven't started unpicking my scarf, I just haven't had any time to really concentrate on it. Someday!
That's great that you are just taking the time to work on new knitting skills!
ReplyDeleteI have been learning to knit with youtube also. I haven't tried two colors yet; that is scheduled for March. Your knitting looks great. I too read cookbooks, I think they are fun. I get tired of cooking the same thing all the time.
