It is amazing how much life changes once I'm back in the hospital again. Yuck!! But that is another story. Posting this blog entry to change my blah mood.
I had my second class this past Friday. They teach a lot of things in 2 hours. The first class I had learned one type of stitch - the knit stitch. This week I learned the purl. The basis of knitting is these two stitches. And basically it depends on how you use these two to get different types of fabrics. For those
of you that have never knit before...you basically can alternate or do one of these stitches and create a different pattern to make a piece of cloth. If you guys look at any of your sweaters - they are all basically knit and you will see different patterns.I started the scarf that I will be making. Thought I would show you guys my progress. Raj and I were trying to be artistic with the pictures but they just ended up dark. Oops. I am using a ribbed knitting fabric which means I knit 2 and I purl 2 and it creates this funky pattern!
Raj suggested I add a life lesson to each blog. I liked the suggestion :)
Life Lesson: You can do more with your hands than just type :) Like make a scarf!
My wife is cool.
