I haven't written anything here because I really haven't made anything. I've started some shit, frogged some shit, but haven't made any headway, until today.
I was watching IKnitWithCatFur,and I'd copied down some of her more advanced patterns using YOs, something I knew how to do. Apparently, not doing in in ten thousand years has made the skill a distant memory.
I feel like a n00b all over again; this was something I was so sure was already in my repertoire, until I tried to do it and failed.
On top of regular failing, I tried to follow her video tutorial as to how to do them, but she knits continental, and I knit some corruption of English knitting (pinching with my thumb and index finger, and throwing that way). When watching how she does it, it looks so simple, and when I clumsily attempt to do it Continental, it comes out like hers, but I'm not sure how to replicate said YO with my right hand.
I won't lie, I've been dicking around about relearning how to do it, but now I've set myself to actually want to do it today, or at least study in earnest. I'm going to look for a PDF to download to my kindle. For some reason, when it comes to knitting, I can read learn with no sweat. Crocheting makes me need a video.
Wish me luck, y'all
