Question of the Week
Last week I asked you "What was your most recent knitting Ah-Ha moment?"
Here are a few responses weโd love to highlight:
"I would say my recent knitting โahaโ moment was when I was talking to the group and we were discussing cables, and I figured out what I was doing. I wouldnโt say it was necessarily wrong, but it was different than what I thought it would be - and I understood why."
- Teresa Dodds
"I learned the Turkish cast-on after watching a video once. What a game changerโit makes a closed, seamless bottom."
- Sibyl
"I finally got the method down for brioche!! I can make fabric, and Iโm going to save it!"
- Monica Howe
"My โahaโ moment was learning how to do the Italian bind-off."
- Celesta Carlson
"My โahaโ moment was learning to use a circular needle to knit a beanie - sooooo much easier than double-pointed needles. It was fun, and I canโt wait to make another."
- Raymond Williams
"My latest โahaโ moment happened this last week when I read your post on four kinds of yarn overs! It made me stop and think about how I did them, and I realized that I was doing them all wrong!"
- Linda Dale
Ok, so here's a new question for you Reader,
"What is your favorite charity to knit for, and why?"
Hit reply and share your answer with us.
We'll feature some of your answers in next weeks roundup.
I can't respond to everyone, but I do read them all! ๐
