I like to knit. I taught myself with books and YouTube videos. I'm not amazing, by any stretch of the imagination, but through trial and error I've made some stuff. My first project was knitting an orange scarf for Boyfriend. It took a year (or 3) but I did it. My next project was knitting a Sackboy. This one was pretty tricky even while following the (unofficial) pattern because the man who made the pattern is an expert, but he's also British, and over there, they usually do Continental knitting, vs American knitting, so figuring out the slightly different terminology took some research. Short-story-long, I finished knitting the sackboy for Boyfriend, complete with matching orange scarf. I just need to add the details (eyes, mouth, etc). But yay!

Adorable! I wish I could make things or do stuff or have talent.
ReplyDeleteAaw thanks! I bet you have a talent, you just haven't found it yet!
ReplyDeleteI taught myself how to crochet a couple of months ago and, surprise, I've created exactly zero things.
ReplyDeleteI admire your resolve, this kinda stuff takes a lot of time (Read: Patience). xD
