RE: #needleworkmonday :: A week of different needles...
Hurray!!! We managed to brainwash you 😂🤣🥳🤪, now you believe knitting could be fun although it is in reality a highly addictive task that will lead to constant worrying... No, not really... Honestly I am super excited that you give knitting another try and I am amazed how beautiful your pearl stitch looks on the square you made. I am now dreaming of convincing you that knitting cardigans is the way to go :-DDD (I want to drag everyone into my misery ... ahhhh I cannot stop to make fun)
And with the concentration/patience, therefore I am not a good role model. You already know I have a huge box of unfinished projects (there may be more then one box 😱). I constantly have ideas what I want to make and I cannot stop myself to start them. But this did not came with getting older, I guess it is my personality. I try to tell myself that I am simply easy to inspire which is ok for me :-D I mostly finish projects way later than I started, often in a kind of rush/rage, but still... I get them done ... eventually:-D
I am so curious what you are preparing for the contest. And cross stitch proofs that you are in no way impatient! I highly admire everything involved with variations of hand sewing, especially embroidery - for this I am toooooo impatient.
Hahahah!!! Yes you did!! I am soooo liking the patterns that come out of it now. I did my first square and am into my second square now, different pattern. It is so cool to see little bumps forming in unison. I will show you in my next post :D
But noooooO!! Cardigans are wayyyyy too advanced for me. Anything to do with curves and increase and decrease and what not is beyond me for now. I am just going to chill and work on these squares :D
I am trying to learn continental method which is faster right but my left hand can't get the yarn tension right. It just keep getting looser and looser. For now, I am just working English style which is slower.
I hope to finish something with knitting.. that will give me a little boost. At least with crochet, I have at least worked on beanie hats and berets and little socks and little shoes and scarves. You know what, I think I can knit scarves now with this new found bumpy patterns. I used to try to work this kind of knit, purl, knit, purl stitches to form moss stitch, pearl stitch, etc but they came out looking like a mess, with holes! This round, it actually looks like a pattern!
Haha. Yah.. I am wondering too what to do with the cross stitch piece. I need to figure out fast before the week ends.
Thank you @neumannsalva! You are amazing! 😘💓
