Working my way through this first hat attempt and I am really enjoying my journey. But as many of you know, teaching is my jam. I have been teaching paper crafting and Cricut forever. I know it was time to retire my paper crafting but my love of teaching and sharing ...well that is another story! I know I am just
a beginning my knitting obsession but I am quickly discovering many of you are just like me. You have always wanted to knit but don't know where to start. I remember how many of my Cricut students felt!
We are going to learn to knit together. I will share resources and tips I have discovered here and hope to save you some of the time I have spent trying to figure out how, why and what you need.
Do you look at other projects and think oh I could never do that? Ya , me too! Do you check out a YouTube video and I think I have no idea what they are talking about??!! Yup that too. How about wandering around the yarn section of your craft store and realizing you don't know what you need or what you don't need? I have been right there with you.... for years. I was paralyzed with confusion and just gave up. I decided now was the time (and I have had many many second thoughts this time too!)
But I am determined and I promise we will figure this out together. My goal is to take away the mystery and confusion. With each post I also plan to share some of the thoughts inside my head, I know I know I might wish I kept them to myself! See if you have some of these thoughts too!
INSIDE THOUGHTS Another challenge for me is the need to knit useful projects that I can keep or give away. As I sorted thru my crazy craft closets, I realized I had so many "cute" projects that were fun to make but then what? I want what I knit to be used not just fun to make. Ya that makes it trickier too! How many scarves do you need?
