This week I worked on my knitting a little bit. I'm starting to get the hang of it more and more as the days go on. I'm still struggling time wise but I think I'm doing better. I feel as if I'll run out of yarn because the yarn ball is starting to look really small and I still have a long way to go. If I do run out I'll have to figure out how to connect two different yarns into one whole scarf. It sounds kind of intimidating to me, but hopefully it'll be easier than expected. I think the hardest part of this whole thing will be ending the scarf because I have no idea how to tie off the stitches at the end.
As for the excess yarn at the end that is still there due to my laziness and fear that I'll ruin the whole thing, I think I'll try to get rid of it this week somehow. Knitting is definitely harder than I thought because I mess up so much. I let go of stitches constantly which is a pain, but not necessarily a problem. They're easily retrieved but the whole process makes me nervous because I don't want to mess this up since I'm this far along.
The week after this, I worked on it a lot, everyday after school. I'm happy to say I think I'm finally getting somewhere but my worst fear is becoming a reality. I have so little yarn left and I'm going to need to learn how to incorporate different yarn into this...if possible. I haven't seen or looked anything up that explains how to do this, or if it's even possible. Also,this week I've messed up SO many times. I've dropped stitches that I couldn't get back, and it's just been really frustrating but it's okay. I'm not expecting this to be perfect.
What happens if you "ruin the whole thing?" What can you learn from ruining it? Is it completely irreversible if you do ruin it?
ReplyDeleteIf I were to ruin the whole thing, well I'd be really upset, and would probably have to start over unless there would be some way to fix it. The excess is just kind of hanging there(I've tied it) and I'm scared that if I cut if off the whole thing will come undone. I could learn that sometimes things happen and getting worked up over them isn't worth it. I don't think it's completely irreversible if I ruin it but just hard to fix.
