I have started learning how to purl and so far it is going good. I started doing it the wrong way at first because I didn’t know you were supposed to alternate when you switched sides, but after going to craft night at the Voo, that is fixed. I will post a picture later of what I have so far, though I’m not making anything specific at the moment.

So after month of not having gone, last night I went to the Voo for craft night. There were lots of crafters there working on differnet things (knitting, making cards, making boxes and bookmakrs for some book thing). I got one of the knitters to show me how to do it the right way because I knew I was doing it wrong. So after a few tries I got the hang of it and now I know how to knit correctly!
After I practing the knit stitch more, I will have someone show me how to do the purl stitch and then I can try out some of the projects I have been eying. I am still going to finish the cloak for my doll and then I’ll practice more and just make squares and stitch them together for a blanket.

I have been teaching myself to knit and so started with something easy; a scarf!
So far I have been doing pretty good at keeping it even. In the beginning I picked up a stitch but have since got it back down to where it should be and kept it like that. When it’s done, it’s going to my mother since she claimed it.
