Labor day week was nice. I went to see my grandma, and there she had some knitting booklets. I tried to teach myself, and could do the cast on stitches. I couldnt figure out how to do the knit stitch. My mom kept repeating that I should try crocheting but I wanted to learn knitting. I feel like everyone crochets, I wanted to learn something different. The book I was using to learn was a bit confusing in hindsight. I went home saturday just feeling frustrated bc I couldnt figure it out. I went to bed, and was just thinking about it the whole time. So much so that I went over the next day to try to give it a second attempt. I was actually able to figure it out after watching a youtube video. I only know how to do casting on, and the knit stitch. Ive been making a yellow scarf, its very wonky and messy but Im happy with my progress.
I find myself working on so much that my arms start to hurt, or cramp. Hopefully with time it will hurt less.
I do want to work on my main site more. I guess Im just finding other things to take up my time. For example Ive been moderating alot for eyerizi and intelligent_rice - under the game gayBaltro - a joke name I made a while ago, that got stuck to me. but notes at least make feel somewhat like im working on my site. I feel like maybe with my journal I want it to be slighty more polished. and starting new pages can be daunting sometimes. hmm idk maybe ill figure out a different way to display my journal vs notes vs devnotes... haha.
Im still working on the scarf. its gotten pretty long. Ive learned how to do the purl stitch and then experiemented with different stitch patterns. Hence the random skinny part in the middle, hehe. I also went to a yarn store and bought a few more balls of yarn. So more to practice with. I have so much to learn still but cool to see what different patterns and knits and methods there are.
Ive been crying a lot this weekend too. Not shocking for a cry baby, but that happens. Relationships can be hard.
Ive made a lot of progress with knitting since then. I finished the scarf and I also made some coasters.
its been fun to knit and make things i use. ive been using the coasters a ton.
