Casting on conquered, at last!!!

I went mooching around yesterday evening and found another video on youtube about casting on so I went through with it and won. Phew, at last!!!

It wasn't perfect though, I wasn't satisfied with the method so I've been out looking and found How to knit: Casting on video It uses two needles but looks almost simple enough for me to cope with and if I'm right then I'll follow this lady on to teach me a knit stitch too.

That'll be the jumper almost finished :))

Sound daft? It's guaranteed!!!

Does anyone remember that a few days ago I commented on learning to knit? Well, the yarn and the pins arrived this morning so there's not much excuse now, no reason to dodge the column and all that.

I've found a couple of short films on youtube,  How to knit - The basics and How to knit - Casting on so I think that I'll have a good look at them, the first one is about six minutes and the second is around three minutes and after watching them I expect to be able to knit a new garden or something.

If I never mention anything about knitting again then I'm sure that you can work out why.

Please, no gales of laughter outside my front door, it'll stop the neighbours getting a decent nights sleep :))
