Last night, I finished my first knitting project using the knit stitch. I made a knit scarf using Loops & Threads Charisma yarn in Charcoal and size 11 knitting needles. This was going to be an actual knit scarf, but when I came to the end of my first skein of yarn, I realized that I did not have a second skein with a matching dye lot, so my regular scarf became a knit infinity scarf or knit cowl.Although it might look halfway decent (yes, as I predicted, there are some mistakes!), this was made after numerous restarts! I was on a roll a couple of nights ago and had about 6 inches with NO mistakes, when I went to look at something on the iPad that my son was showing me and I dropped a stitch off the end of my needle. Trying not to panic, I attempted to recover the stitch, but wasn't able to and decided to tear it out and start over! This happened a lot, thus a lot of restarts!
All in all, I think I'm getting the hang of knitting and do enjoy it as much as crocheting! Looking forward to my next class where I'll learn the purl stitch and how to change color (although I did YouTube this last night when I thought I had a second skein to continue with!).
