[Nfb-krafters-korner] How are the new knitters doing?

[Annette Carr]

Kathy,

If American is working well for you, then maybe that is what works best for
you.  However, I think it is great that you are continuing to work at
getting the hang of continental.  Keep up the great work.

Ripping out is as much a part of knitting as knitting.  For that matter, so
is making mistakes.  I have been working on a cowl for my daughter over the
past few weeks and have made very few mistakes.  They have been minor and I
have been able to catch them when it was still easy to fix.  Tonight I was
down to the last 22 stitches of the last pattern row, and something is
majorly wrong.  Things have been going so well that I have neglected to move
my lifeline up as I've worked.  So I put it down for tonight and will take a
stab at fixing it tomorrow.  

Annette

I'm starting to do better with the continental method! I think it's just
that it's so different!

Cathy says:
Same here! I knit the American way and everything goes nicely, then I say
ok, let me try that European method again and things get messy quickly. 

Hmm, should I really try the European way again now that I have four rows of
American of my dish towel done? I've already ripped it out four times. Could
have had sixteen rows of American by now. <sigh>

I should be better at this, after all my ancestors are from Europe? <smile>
