I've never been able to do it myself, it just doesn't work out well.
It seems to look lopsided almost, I can't get it to sit or look nice.
Well, I have just cast off the front of the teal coloured tee I am knitting and all that's left, apart from the sewing up is to do the neck and arm bands.
So I'm sat here staring at it and thinking to myself that really, I should just try and do it for myself.
I mean, how hard can it be?
I've got to get over this mental block of thinking I'm just going to mess it up and just try!!
I'll be so pleased if I manage it.
So I've decided I'm going to brave it and give it a go. I'll let you know whether I was successful or not.
Take care!!

Good luck! I know what the feeling is like. I am trying to do my first sock heel . I think we just have to do it and know that maybe it won't be perfect but the process will teach us so much so that some day we will be perfect. : )
ReplyDeleteThanks Lorri, you're right of course and that's such a great attitude towards it. I just have to get over myself really and get on with it, lol
DeleteHope your sock heel goes well. Please share pictures won't you.
:)
A little tip when picking up stitches, this is a great way if you're not used to doing it. Divide the pick up area into equal sections with some pins or contrasting thread. Divide the amount of stitches to be picked up into the amount of sections you have. This will help you get it more even right across the pick up area.
ReplyDeleteI was having trouble with taking pictures for a long time, try taking your pictures in the best natural light area you can and turn off your flash. This works for me.
So now my tips are done let me comment on your Tee, it is really great and I love the different textures you've achieved. I am looking forward to seeing it all finished.
Have a great day Kim x
That is such a great idea!!
DeleteIt will make small areas to cope with rather than one great big amount. Thanks for that Linda, I appreciate it a lot.
Yes, I'll have to practice with different lighting. Good idea!!
Thanks again Linda, you take care.
:)
Good luck to you! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Debi!!

I have no helpful hints..I have tried..took classes...watched videos...still cannot knit anything more than a dishcloth...you are on your own...but I have a feeling you can do it..take your time and breathe....have a great day
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks Vikki. I hope I'll manage it. I'm going away for a week tomorrow and taking it with me, so I hope to have it completed to show you once I get back.
DeleteTake care
:)
You'll do fine and each time will get better. I like to use a crochet hook to pull my yarn through and then put it on the needle.
ReplyDeleteOh I hope I am Pam, I just really want to get it right, lol
DeleteThanks for the tip!!
:)
Hello Sis! Such a lovely color! I like it so much.
ReplyDeleteSis, have you seen the finished Madli shawl that you were asking me about? it's in my blog.
This is just a short comment as it is almost 1pm here and our server will be down in a while.
Take care always Sis!
Hugs and lots of love,
Toni

DeleteI did get onto your blog but I was unable to leave a comment. I am going back through the blogs I missed commenting on though and hope to be able to leave comments this time.
