The lovely Joy over at Welcome to Daisy Row recently blogged a review for a knitting book,
there was also a chance to enter a giveaway for one of three copies of the book and I was lucky enough to win a copy!!!
My book arrived the other day and I have already read the first couple of pages all about the different yarns.
I am going to make my crafty new year's resolution a knitting one, as although I can do the basics it's one of the crafts I've always found difficult to master. I have always blamed it on being left handed but I don't think that's really the case!
I have quite a stash of wool to work with and with this book to guide me I'm hoping that I (and you) can see some progress in my knitting.
Thank you Joy for holding such a great giveaway.
Didn't realize you were a lefty Tracy, hope the diagrams in the book are easy enough to understand to switch round. Looking forward to watching your progress, Joy xx
ReplyDeleteGreat prize! I was taught to knit many moons ago by my very patient Mum, as I'm a 'lefty' too!! Haven't knitted for ages though, so I might join you in the new year Tracy!! :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I am trying to master crochet! Perhaps you might find a knitting group like me? I don't quite know what to expect when I get there, but worth a try.
ReplyDeletePS my cracker swap arrived this morning, hope to blog about it very soon
That looks like a lovely book. I just taught myself to knit little hearts for felting from a basic book - it's really relaxing knitting - I can't do anything complicated but think I will try and keep it up in 2013 too.
