The first technique I learnt was knitting. Before this lesson I had never knitted before in my life.
This is the items I started out with, a pair of 7.0mm knitting needles and lots of coral pink wool.
The first thing I was taught to do is to cast on, the minimum stitches to create this sample was 20, I decided to do 30. This is what it looked like when I had cast on my stitches. ( I took this photo after only doing 20 stitches but I added 10 more after)
The next thing to do was to start knitting, after a while I got into the flow of things and started enjoying my self, I found it very therapeutic.
This is a picture of my final sample. I had some more time to do another quick sample, this time I used 100mm needles and only did 20 stitches. This is a picture of both my samples.
I am happy with the samples I produced and enjoyed learning how to knit, I even bought myself some knitting needles! It is defiantly a skill that will stay with me for life.
The needles I used are made from bamboo which is natural.
