Enjoy!  Tips For Enjoying The Process

I started knitting over  40 years ago by reading and re-reading a "Beginners Guide to Knitting".  At that time there wasn't videos or YouTube to watch,  so my knitting was filled with frustration, trial, and error.

 Luckily enough my mother was a knitter also and she walked me through my many problems over the telephone.  But it still was a learning curve and here are a few things I wished I would have known when I started-

1. Enjoy the process of knitting

Enjoy your journey along the way.  You control the process of pattern choice, yarn and needles used. You are the captain of this ship and it can be so exciting.  Enjoy working each stitch and see how they become your building blocks to a beautiful piece of work.  Start with an easy knitting pattern.

2. Relax

Relax and things will go so much easier for you.  This is a hobby of  relaxation, I can’t stress this enough.  Don’t hold the needles or the yarn too tight. As you progress, you’ll develop a rhythm and the stitches will even out.

3. Rome wasn't built in a day-Give yourself sometime to learn

My mother always said-"Things worth doing well take time"!  How true!  Give yourself sometime to learn this wonderful hobby of knitting.  It's a skill that needs time and patience to learn the techniques.  Be kind to yourself!

4.We All Make Mistakes

My mother always believed that a minor mistake in your knitting is what makes your piece come alive.  You are probably the only one that will see that mistake and when you look back you will recognize that imperfection as a learning curve.  Give yourself permission to make some mistakes and watch your skills grow with each piece.

5. Remember knitting is a hobby

Knitting is a hobby!  We need to remember this.  Knitting is a hobby we do to promote relaxation, meet friends and create for gift giving.

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
