I have spent the last three weeks learning myself to knit, which is a great achievement as I`m left handed, and I`ve learnt right handed.
My first project I got from www.jeangreenhowe.com where there are loads of patterns, I choose the free rainbow baby pattern. And i perservered until he was complete. I`ve put a photo up of him and christened him Rupert.
I was knitting him for charity but my 17 year old daughter snaffled him.
I`ve since purchased Jean greenhowes Scarecrow family and am currently working on the grandfather, I`ll let you know how I get on. Its slow because I have problems with my hands, but rewarding
I love him! What a cutie - can't believe he's your first project. Well done - look forward to seeing the scarecrows :o)
ReplyDeleteHe is amazing! No way looks like your first. My daughters have the scarecrow family which was made by my Mum who is no longer with us, they are very cherished - the little girl one in particular :o) I look forward to seeing yours.
ReplyDeleteHe's fab. Well done on teaching yourself to knit I had to do the same thing as I'm a leftie too! I'm currently teaching myself to crochet which as you can imagine is great fun!! I hope you post piccies of the finished family. x
ReplyDeleteHe is lovely Susan. Anyone would be delighted to receive him as a gift.
ReplyDeleteWow He's gorgeous and for a first project he's brilliant. I'm so impressed I've been knitting since I was little and still can't get to grips with stripes. WELL DONE!! xx
