[NFB-Krafters-Korner] new knitters

Fri Apr 17 22:42:49 UTC 2020

The first cast-on I learned was the knitted cast-on. I still have no idea how to do the long tail cast-on. I couldn't make it to the bind-off class. I've been rather swamped with school lately. I'm behind and need to catch up. I'm hoping to be able to do fun things soon after I get things sorted with my English Comp II class and my Document Formatting class. The English class is definitely harder than the Document Formatting class. I've also been struggling with feeling blue, which isn't helping at all. I basically don't leave the house anymore. I used to leave the house twice a week to go to school, but now everything's moved on-line. Ugh. I hope it becomes safer to go out and about soon!

Thanks,
Ari

Trying to do it from memory is pretty much impossible. I also know I have to re-train my hands, they don’t want to do what I wanna do they’re like no we’re crocheting. LOL

>> Hi Kaila, what you said about Crocheting being easier than knitting for you right now is understandable to me ( Us, Terry and me. ) I learned how to knit before I learned Crocheting, and, now, both are easy for me to do.
>> we are all here to help you. You will get the hang of knitting, it will take time, but, we have lots of Faith in you, and the other new knitters.

I’ll try not to give up but this is frustrating for me. Crochet just seems easier and quicker but that’s probably because I’m used to it.

>>> This is for those of you who took one or more of the beginning classes in the last month: casting on; basic knit stitch; or casting off or finding off.  We need to hear from you how you have progressed and what you want to do next. Please don't give up if you are having trouble. Rather, contact me, Jeanette, or one of the other knitters on this list. It is not unusual to need a second explanation or description. I recommend one to one so that you can repeat back what you are understanding and get immediate feedback. There were so many interested that the class was a good place to start. But there were at least ten new or almost new knitters on the first two calls which did not allow for as much interaction with each of you as I would have liked. You can write me ofplist at walhoframona at gmail_com. So let's have some feedback. Do not feel as though you are being criffical, because it will not be taken that way.

>>> I am prepared to teach a class on the basic purl stitch if anybody wants it. It can wait or not. Please let us know. Others have also offered to help. I think we should try to work with one teacher at a time, but that does not mean that a second person cannot be helpful. You can try different hand positions and different terminology. This is a good time to take on a new skill. So I am hoping to hear from you.
