My First Knitting Project

Look! My post has a title! Thanks again, Louise.

One of my Christmas presents was the Ultimate Sweater Machine, a fancy gizmo that knits a bazillion stitches a minute, or something like that. I had been nervous due to lots of negative reviews online, but a couple days ago pulled it out to give it a try.

After a few hours spent figuring out how it worked, yesterday I made this in about two hours:


Given it would have taken me about two YEARS hand-knitting and then been useless, I'd say this was a success.

Looking forward to mastering more than a stockinette stitch shortly...will continue to post results.

  1. This is adorable.

    I've thought about taking up knitting, but I simply don't have the time right now. I'm not sure how you guys do it!

  2. So cute! The hat looks good, too :) Glad the title thing worked for you (I can't believe I've become computer-savvy enough to start helping other people - what is the world coming to?)
