I have learnt to knit!! Not easy to do.
Mum and dad came for the weekend and mum brought some wool, easy patterns and knitting needles.
I am going to make a chicken and a rabbit that hold a cream egg inside them - for George and Sophie for Easter.
Started this weekend with the chicken. First cast on 30 stitches. Casting on took about 2 hours!! Took mum about 1 minute!! Was not easy!
Look at us knitting!
Once I had cast on then I had to just knit 27 rows of the 30 stitches. By row 4 I had increased the number of stitches from 30 to 40. Apparently increasing is not easy to do!! I have no idea how I did it.
See the picture of my mum's reaction to this mistake.
I had to start again!!
The chicken is finished.
Here it is:
What do you think??
Janette! What a great chicken - it does actually look like one! Well done you - I am very impressed ( I think your Mum is secretly proud of your skills!) I remember knitting you a penguin when you were a baby!
