  • I did try to learn from my grandmother when I was a kid but it didn’t stick. I don’t think I had the manual dexterity, when I looked it up on YouTube as an adult I didn’t have too much trouble with it.

    I had forgotten learning from my grandmother but I found some of my old notes and things at her house the other week that been stored away for the last 30 years or so.

    Now I learn from YouTube and certain books. How to knit socks that fit, jumper knitting handbook type stuff and the Japanese knitting stitch Bible.

    I started with crochet and moved onto knitting. Now I much prefer it and how versatile it is





  • I’ve not rewound this yarn, I’m just taking the label off and getting the end. I use the bowl to have something to put the yarn in basically and because I think it looks nice. I’m terrible for buying hobby bits because they look nice, I have so many pins and stitch markers and things.

    Like another person said though, if it was one of the fancy yarns that comes in a hank (I think they’re called) I’d need to wind it first so it was a ball before being able to use it.
