Always Learning

by barbara waters

Let’s face it - if we’re not learning, we are stagnant. If we’re stagnant, we begin to smell. So, it’s a GOOD thing to look for new (old) ways to do thing - how-to’s - better ways. Or maybe just refresh our minds with something we once knew and forgot because we didn’t practice.

See yourself in any of those things? Yeah, me, too.

So . . . off to visit Annie at annie modesitt dot com where you can find easy to understand instructions on everything from how to increase, to decrease, to making invisible seams. And, there are graphics!!

This is a really good find. I have been wanting to “make” stitches in a better way than I had been taught (which is to knit in the front and then the back of the next stitch - which is fine, but it leaves an annoying bar like a purl in the middle of a knit row) and, sure enough - there it is.

Never too late to learn something - and I am one in the line to prove the point, I guess.

Hope you have a lovely Thursday. Hello to Jummy! Thanks for stopping by and thanks for joining me in knitting in public this weekend. ;) (by the way - do your pronounce your screen name “Yummy” that’s how I have been saying it in my mind - but just wondering.)

Yours is a great find for Moms whose kids are already getting bored with school being out! Lots of neat things to do and try. Very cool!

About Knitting Passion

Is knitting really a passion? On THIS blog it is - for all who come here. Blog entries will be made up of patterns, photos of in-progress or completed work - off the wall discussions about whatever tickles the author's fancy (Survivor Knitting anyone?). This can be as much YOUR blog as it is the current author's. Questions will be entertained and answers sought diligently. Comments are always welcome - and information ALWAYS appreciated. Will there be stories and pictures of the stash of yarn or the duplicated knitting needles? Will there be more off the wall ideas for knitting? Will there be original patterns or freebies cited? Only the dark of night and the author's amount of caffeine or sleep can determine that.

Ready? ONE - TWO - GET SET - KNIT!
