Came here to also say knitting! Which also lead to me spinning yarn, which lead to processing my own fleece/fibers, then dyeing….just waiting for the day I decide to buy sheep and goats

Great job!! I actually tried to make a handspinning community on Lemmy and kept getting an error about following the naming conventions and gave up trying to create it 😖

I’ve been knitting for quite a few years, but that’s not to say I couldn’t have done this sooner! Like the other person who commented said, you might be surprised by how quickly you can do it if you just give it a try! There are so many resources available on the internet these days to help learn and you just need to put in some time to practice!

This only took me a couple of days! That’s with knitting several hours a day, I keep saying I need to keep better track of actual knit time lol

Thank you! It’s Cascade 220 in color 1040. I was worried about the same thing with the fabric stretching, I’m thinking I’m going to try to lightly felt it once I have it all put together and hope that prevents too much stretch! Fingers crossed it works and doesn’t ruin the stitch definition too much!!

 

Hi all! Here’s a quick knit I made from a chart from the New Knit Stitch Library by Leslie Stanfield. This will eventually be made into a bag! Wanted to make my first knitting community contribution since making the move to lemmy!
