Well the knitting meetup was tonight and so I thought I would yet again learn some new knitting tricks from the ladies in our group! They are excellent teachers!
So I got a pattern for a Fishnet pattern dishcloth online and started the thing at home. The first four rows were easy! All garter stitch, I can handle that! I had ten years on my husbands scarf to perfect that!
Then it got harder..
SSK? What’s that? I got out my handy dandy Yarn Girl’s Knitting Journal and looked it up, ok, I slip the sitches onto the other needle and then knit em..
Ok.. not too bad.. YO.. yarn over.. also pretty easy.. putting a hole in your work on purpose. Ok.. K2tog. that’s also easy.. knit two together.. and Purl, no problem Carrie showed me how to do that last time!! Ok..
Put em all together in one row.. hehehe. Well it turned out pretty good so far!
Here is a little close up of the pattern:
Now of course my motivation to try this out on needles is to dissect the stitch as it is done on needles and then translate it into loom speak! As I was sitting there in Cafe Mommus knitting away on the pattern I really couldn’t see how to do that. But it hit me when I got home. Now I have to try it out on my looms!
It would be a first fishnet pattern on the loom I believe. The knitting boards have some looser ‘airy’ type wrap patterns but nothing like this! It would be cool to figure it out!
But my hands are SORE and it’s late so it will just have to wait till tommorow!
I also know why I can’t needle knit at home! Once I started talking I lost my place in the pattern. And at home… ‘Don’t hit your sister!’,:???: ‘Get back from the TV!’ :neutral:”Did you wash your hands?” :evil:’ No, Mommy is not a jungle gym!’:eek: So the knitting looms are sure a better fit, for now at least! I can see getting into it and doing a little more of needle knitting, eventually. For now it will have to wait for mainly when I am out of the house!:wink:
