[NFB-Krafters-Korner] new knitters

[Ramona]

Kaila, it happens to all of us. When you can, please try again. Use the long tail or the simple cast-on stitch. Any of us can help you get it started. The big deal is doing a few rows of knitting. Then you have some hand motions that work, and you have something to pet and feel that you have accomplished something. If you wait too long, you may lose what you have accomplished so far.

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.

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 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.
