Today, I am turning over a new leaf. I have decided to share more progress photos with you. Many other bloggers share their progress and it is a fun experience for them and their readers, so I hope that this will turn out that way as well. I also hope to continue to accept the parts of myself that aren't perfect, and to be authentic in all areas of my life :)
Let's start small. Here is a cabled knit scarf I am working on. It is my fifth knitting project.
The yarn I'm using came from a friend and had lost its label, so it is a mystery! The pattern I'm following can be found on Ravelry, the Beginner's Super Extremely Simple Cabled Scarf. I am taking way longer to complete it than I should be and need to work harder/spend more time with it :)
What's in progress on your hooks and needles?
I love progress photos :) For me, part of what I enjoy is watching patterns and colours emerge. Some of this is down to the fact that I find it very difficult to visualise what a pattern will look like in the yarn I've chosen. This means every project is an adventure and sometimes the results are unexpected, but usually in a good way :) I also love the contrast between pre-blocking and post-blocking photos; the transformation can be astonishing! Pre-internet, I gave up on so many projects because mine didn't look like the pattern photo :(
ReplyDeleteYou have such a positive attitude! I hope to adopt a similar view. Yes, the internet is such a wonderful means of connection in so many ways.
