The knitting is going quite well- hence no time for blogging yesterday- I really wanted to make some progress and somehow when I looked up it was about when I usually go upstairs to read before bed...
I've now done the legs, body and head, plus both arms. That only leaves the feet and hands to do. I've left them until last as they use a much finer needle and look very fiddly. Oh, and I have to sew it all up. Invisible seams look tricky and I keep scouring 'you tube' for tutorials... So some difficult bits to conquer yet... but so far this week I have learnt to cast on, knit, purl, increase, decrease, pick up dropped stitches, untwist stitches and cast off- all curtosy of other peoples help tutorials. I particularly like an app I've downloaded called KnittingHelp.com. So thank you if you ever do tutorials, there may well be someone like me benefiting from them!
I can now see the end in sight.... then it will be onto the fun bit of making the clothes- I found some gorgeous wool in shades of green yesterday so of course got them straight away so that has decided my theme colour. Now I just have to get on with it...
Until next time
Gillian
