Wishing all the dads out there a spectacular day! We gave my husband his father's day present last weekend since we knew we'd be sharing a good chunk of father's day with his dad tomorrow. My hubby received PlayStation gift cards. I feel like everyone is on some screen in my household while I knit or crochet. Sometimes I even have a screen in front of me for a digital pattern.
A family friend wanted to learn to knit over the weekend, and she learned very quickly. I take no credit for that. It was fun seeing the beautiful tools that were being handed down to her from her grandmother. I had never seen the style of yarn swift that she had, and I can't locate a picture of it.
If you're looking for a beginner knitting class there are some great ones locally here in Portland:
The internet is an amazing source for learning, especially if you know the specific thing you're stuck on. Here are great links to an intro to knitting and crochet videos. These are just a starting point.
How to Crochet for Beginners by the Crochet Crowd (this has a great video list, check it out)
I commonly use the YouTube to help with a special stitch or to simply remember how to make one left versus make one right. I'm also appreciative of designers who include videos of any techniques in their pattern or links to great examples.
I'm so excited that I've wrapped a test crochet and I've done the minimum to be considered complete on a test knit. Now to focus on a lovely sweater and then I'll be done with the test-knitting/crocheting for a while. This top turned out great: Pine Cross Summer Top
I'll share more pics of the other pattern when it's available for sale.
I'm posting early and keeping it short this week. I'm hoping to get a lot of crafting done along with some prep for a case study that I'm hosting this week. There is always so much work :).
Have a great week! I'd like to post a little solstice note this week, but we'll see if I succeed.
