squee! so excited! I had my first knitty lesson with my friend Fi yesterday.
I’m making the Rae Scarf by Jane Richmond.
I picked a soft & squishy varigated blue & white cotton yarn for my first practice piece. I am totally lusting after some of the scrumptious looking hand dyed yarns but they are something to look forward to once I have a bit more confidence with the sticks.
Thanks for your patience (& yummy cake) Fi x

Yay for knitting! Love the color & pattern you chose for your first project. Looks lovely!
Oooh, pretty! And cake too you say…
It looks fantastic!! I really wish I could learn to knit..can crochet but can’t figure out knitting. Keep on!
You will have a fan in Miss Bronte as she loves to knit.
Wonderful, I am always knitting, although lately the quilting has taken much of the time. I suggest that you consider a natural fibre with a little more stretch like wool or a wool blend for your next project – cotton, which I love, is harder as a starting fibre. You are doing beautifully.
Love the yarn! And what a cool pattern! Have fun!
How exciting!! It looks fabulous already xxx
Braver than I – I sort of know how to knit, but am absolutely rubbish at it. I crochet instead. You go girl!
watch out, knitting is addicting…and so is cake. The two are a deadly combo that I cannot resist. Looks like you have picked up the knack of knitting quickly!
Look at you go!
Trust you to pick it up superfast and do it well. Not your average beginner… where are all the wonky stitches? Where are all the dropped stitches?
Laceweight intarsia jumper for project 2???
Looking forward to seeing you wearing the finished project next time I see you. No pressure or anything :)
Hurrah! Persevere through the bit where you think you will NEVER knit something without multiple holes and/or meandering edges, and it’s a wonderful skill to have – fun and useful!
Good girl xx
How fun. I can crochet but knitting is so beyond me. Love the blue yarn.
Congratulations on joining the horde! ;)
Garter stitch is such a good thing to start with, and a shawl(lette) a good project.
It looks really good so far!
Watch out… knitting is addicting! :) Love the color you chose for your first project.
Well done! Can you please tell me the name/brand of the yarn you used?
Love your scarf, and for a first time knitter, you did well!
I am a constant knitter, but have never done the pattern you you used. I’ll have to give it a try on my own and see what comes out. I’ll let you know. Thanks for sharing.
