A Knitting Sampler


Started to practice knitting and all the different stitched out there! Very uneven and knobbley...but that's what samplers are for I suppose! Using up all the scraps of wool that MummySew and I have kicking around :)

  1. Tara, I am envious of anyone who can knit. Good for you. And I like all these colors. Keep it up and you'll have a really cool scarf.

    Following you now. Hope you'll follow on mine too even if we aren't swap partners. I'm an American living in Ukraine

    1. Thanks Coleen, I have to admit I'm more of a crochet girl! Co-ordinating 2 hands at once is all just too much for me! I'll be posting about a new crochet project tomorrow.

      I'll come have a look at your blog :)

  3. What a great idea to make the sampler. I tried knitting again when I was laid up after surgery. I succeeded in making a dish cloth. I get confused as I am ambidextrous and I can never quite figure out which hand is supposed to do what. My mom is a fabulous knitter, too bad it didn't flow to me. Have fun with it. - Swap-bot

    1. How handy to be ambidextrous (no pun intended hehe). Good for you for trying though :)

  4. That is awesome!!! I'm a beginner knitter and I love the idea of making the sample. I've made several wash clothes but that is are far as I've made it. I'm in the process of making a hat for my DH. Although it started out for my son. I got a few rows knitted and realized it was way to big.

  5. I'm not much of a knitter, I never get to finish my projects, and I don't find it too versatile. I love crochet though, but your sample piece is an EXCELLENT idea, love it.
    I'm popping in from Swap-bot to say 'HI'!!
    Keep it up ;)

    1. Hi Marchy! I love crochet too - it's fun to try something new though. Maybe one day this could be a very unique lumpy bump scarf :p ill probably be too attached to it though - maybe frame it!
