That is what I am talking about. Talk about truth in advertising. I really am stupid!</span></span></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6191393364623805316-5583759677776052183?l=yarnbandita.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Yarn Banditahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14219285532630484571noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6191393364623805316.post-15686813478220175022008-06-28T13:35:00.000-07:002008-06-28T13:43:21.946-07:00<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:180%;">Here is the thing. I am teaching myself to knit, after being a crocheter for years. Have decided to teach myself knitting to keep my brain from rotting. Kind of like Sudoku but less annoying, and you have something to show for it, and besides, I already had a huge yarn stash from crocheting.<br />I have problems with math and spatial ability, which I know is a learning disability. With a lot of hard work was able to get through college math. So when it comes to things that require you to do stuff with spatial relations, it is complex and hard to picture in your mind. So am trying to teach myself, and am using books, and videos.<br /><br />Today's lesson:<br /><br />am working on a red and white scarf in stockinette stitch, and had to rip back to a hole I couldn't fix. When I put the stitches back on the knitting needle, I found that you have to turn the stitches from right to left.Not from left to right. it will leave your knitted item looking weird. Nowhere in any books has anyone informed me of this.<br /><br />Till next time...<br /><br /></span></span></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6191393364623805316-1568681347822017502?l=yarnbandita.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Yarn Banditahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14219285532630484571noreply@blogger.com0
