Welcome to my Blog, a Crafting Year

Hello
I taught myself to knit in 2011 I have been posting photos of my knitting creations on facebook but as I am starting to bore my friends I have created this blog to record my progress. Then I thought I might try my hand at other crafts and see how I get along. I will try a different craft every month and you can read about my successes and failures and even laugh at my photos as I try different things like felting, crochet, sewing, papercrafts etc and try and make a few things from the kids favourite book Star Wars crafts, amongst others...lets see how it goes

magic loop cont...

Back to You tube and watched a few more videos. I wasn't pulling the first stitch tight enough when I joined in the round. This has been really fiddly as the long circular wire gets wrapped around the wool and under your fingers as you try to work. However I had to knit rib (k2 p2) for 2 inches and this is how it looks now, you can see its knitting as a tube.
However....the knitting above the rib should be stocking stitch (ss)and I appear to be knitting it inside out which is quite an achievement so I will have to unpick the ss and start again. 2 steps forward, one back
