Today I FINALLY finished a knitting project for the first time EVER! It is a very simple shrug knitted in stockinette stitch. It is a big rectangle that is then sewn to make pseudo-sleeves.The most difficult part was working with size US 50 needles, they are enormous and very awkward to maneuver. I knitted it holding two strands of yarn and one of them was very fuzzy so it made ripping back the few stitches I had to rip back difficult. Nothing much to it really but it is a quick knit and I really like how it looks.
Here it is! (Look ma, no make up!!!!)
Hi June!
ReplyDeleteI just came to your blog from the South Miami Crafters Meetup page.... we live near downtown Miami now, but will be moving several miles south in a few months and I would LOVE to find a craft group nearby! I participated in an ATC group in Kendall a couple years ago, but they have since disbanded.
Anyway... just wanted to introduce myself and let you know I'm interested, but probably won't actually join the group till I move!
Talk to you later,
Laura
