Post Subject: I finally started to learn to knit..
Yay! I watched videos, but I'm not entirely sure I followed correctly. I have my Nana to teach me, I should visit soon.
It was exhilerating to be learning something new - especially when I've put it off for so long while dreaming of knitting purses. My dream of dreams is to be a handbag designer.
I'm finally seriously (actually I've taken certain steps before) taking action and starting a business with some less-experience-friendly routes.
I'm pretty much decorating tote bags with my own embellishments, the totes are for grocery shopping. But back to knitting.
I want to knit flowers to use as pins, and use organic, soy and - yes - recycled plastic bag yarn - lol.
I didn't knit AT ALL today, I just worked on the website (one of my dearest hobbies) even though I meant to. But I did get some yarn to play with! It's not organic or soy but it is made from cotton, so it's a pretty friendly material, I think.
Does everyone know of soy yarn?? I ordered some yarn off this website and they had soy yarn! Free shipping, I'll find the link... http://theyarngrove.com
I got videos from http://knittinghelp.com and some other source, but I didn't pay attention.. It was related to experts teaching us, not just knitting, though.
I think I at least nailed the cast on, but what do I know - lol.
Pretty yarn to play with tomorrow! I'm so proud of myself!
