Get thee to your Local Yarn Shop (LYS) and take knitting lessons. I took a class on Saturday and by Wednesday I was cabling after watching a couple of You-Tube videos. <br /><br />Do you crochet at all? If you do, find someone who will teach you Continental or German style. And best of all for me is Russian or Eastern Uncrossed.<br /><br />Russian/Eastern Uncrossed has a different purl stitch which is way more logical than the Western Styles. Which in turn makes the knit stitch more logical.<br /><br />The one style of knitting I haven't figured out is the Eastern Asian style which would be perfect for doing Stranded Colorwork/Fair Isle in the round. All the floats are on the top of your work, so then you don't have to worry about getting the yarn you are carrying across the back (floats) too tight.<br /><br />LOL can you tell I love knitting!Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06530748998376076224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3429261233990123314.post-24309142735560092302015-02-28T08:36:38.251-07:002015-02-28T08:36:38.251-07:00well thank you, but i am big time impressed with t...well thank you, but i am big time impressed with those with mad knitting skills. i do not knit, i only knot yarn and make a mess. this is a gorgeous blanket! tracie c.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03222714252708234638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3429261233990123314.post-19919712657245046722015-02-27T16:20:55.600-07:002015-02-27T16:20:55.600-07:00Thanks!
