#NSSKAL?

Knitting the same things over and over? It can get quite boring!  Why not challenge yourself?  I found this KAL (knit a long) on Instagram.  You are supposed to teach yourself something new in the knitting of socks.  My next step was to knit two socks at once on a magic loop.  I have to admitt I was very nervous about this technique as I had just learned magic loop last week.  As I found it easy It was only natural that this be the next step!  I went on Youtube with sock yarn and circular needle in hand and so my journey started.  There are some very clear tutorials to follow and after the first cast on I was on my way.  her is the video I used.

Here is my first try

And am now ready to start the heel.

More to come! Analisa x

Knitting in The Round

I have taken the next step in my circular knitting journey and have learned to knit in the round on one circular.  It was very easy in my opinion if not a little cumbersome but so are DPNs!
I have cast on a children's finger less glove.  The pattern was so kindly provided by Kiwi Yarns.

Have a great day, Analisa xx
