Default First night of knitting class

Well tonight I went to my first knitting class! Finally decided to stop watching all the videos online and go and let someone teach me in person. SO glad I went! I learnt so much more in one night then walking all the videos, and I have someone there to help me along the way. This is what I did in class. Was so happy with myself from first class, had to share! 2 more classes to go!!!

Good going. It won't be long until you have a sweater.

Knitting is very relaxing - a nice portable project!

Good going, you will learn so much and there is nothing like a real live person to answer your questions. Welcome to my other adiction.

You're doing a great job of keeping your tension even. Keep on practicing and soon you'll have a scarf. Nice work!

I learned to crochet years ago (1970s) at a local Sears store that had classes in the employee cafeteria in the evenings. It was lots easier with a live teacher to explain.
