A.C. Moore's in-store knitting and crochet party.

Saturday Jan. 28th, the knitting and crochet party was a fun event, lasted 4 hours at this large Rockville, MD. arts and crafts store. Mr, a middle- aged gay male got to teach an elderly lady how to cast on and do several rows of garter stitch. before then, she had never knit in her life,I believe.
So many people who have never knitted in their lives, seem to immediately gravitate to fun fur or fuzzy type fashion yarns without realizing that those yarns are too difficult for beginners.

So Itold this woman not to buy her fancy crinkly, fuzzy yarn and got her into off-white bulky Lion brand yarn, all the better to see her first knit stitches. In a hour an or so I got her actually knitting rows of garter stitches on her own.

I am glad that she will take an actual beginner's knitting class with an experienced teacher.

I can get someoned started but can't even correct my own dropped stitches.

still ripping my stuff out and starting over if my project isn'yt too far advanced, if advanced, I get help to ccorrect my mistakes.

Enough blogging for today, need to get a hair cut go for a hike and do a candle project.

knit some more of that basketweave scarf later on tonight.
