Learning to Knit

Hello, I decided to learn to knit but I didn’t have knitting needles so I decided to make my own out of chopsticks.

Sadly,they did break because they were thin 😔 but I found some new chopsticks while I wait to get some real knitting needles. I took a break because they broke but since I found new ones I will try to update when I finish this project if they hopefully don’t break. The pictures in the slides are of me using the old chopsticks so they lasted me a while 😆 it was just sad when they broke.

... Read moreKnitting is a wonderful craft that can feel daunting at first, but it opens up a world of creativity. If you're new to knitting, there are many resources available to help you get started. Consider investing in a quality set of knitting needles, as they will make a significant difference in your comfort and ease of use. Additionally, online communities and forums, like those found on platforms such as Ravelry or Pinterest, provide a wealth of patterns and tutorials tailored for beginners. You can also explore YouTube for video tutorials that visually break down techniques such as casting on, knit and purl stitches, and binding off. Furthermore, joining a local knitting group can offer both social interaction and support as you progress with your projects. Remember, every knitter was once a beginner, so don’t be discouraged by initial setbacks—practice makes perfect! Embrace the learning journey of knitting to create beautiful, handmade items while enjoying the meditative process.

Learning to crochet…
I’m going to admit I love the fact that there are limitless things you can make when you crochet, the fact that it’s handmade makes it even better. But I’m seriously struggling, and no video I am finding seems to really dumb it down enough for me. Is this just me, does anyone have any tips or any v

i’m making a sweater and currently working on the first sleeve. i’m actually shocked how little yarn in takes when knitting vs. crotcheting. i’m almost done with the first sleeve and still on the first skein…crotcheting is an expensive hobby 😩 #crochet #knitting #fiberart #amiralicious

I have always wanted my own #ChunkyYarnBlanket . I was so excited to start this journey. I have also decided to sell some in the near future. No one ever talks about how heavy they can get or how time consuming they can be . I think this year will be full of new hobbies , projects and adventures.
