Project 3: Learning to Knit

I have never once succeeded when I have tried to learn how to knit. For the last half a year I have been telling myself that I will learn how to and now I am setting myself the challenge of finally getting it right. 

My first ball of wool and 6mm knitting needles


Managed to cast on by hand. 


Knitted one successful row. This took a couple of hours of failing. I would either cast on too tightly, or I would wrap the wool around the needle the wrong way, or when transfer the wool from one needle to another it would slip off.


After all the failing I decided to switch to a thicker wool.


Which turned out to be a lot more successful. So I am happy to say that I can garter stitch. The next challenge is learning to purl.
