Wildling Knits

Sometimes simple can be powerful. This really easy and fun pattern shows off the beautiful yarn I picked up from the MD Sheep and Wool Festival. I changed my mind on the sizing close to the end of this piece and actually ripped it all out to start over. I redid it in about two weeks - it’s that fast. I don’t have much of this color in my wardrobe so I’m excited to add it!

Library Students

Thank you so much for joining me today at the Middletown library! Below are videos covering the skills we learned today in class. If you choose to get your own materials to bring to the next class, I recommend bamboo needles around size 8 or 9 mm (different from US sizing) and size 5 (bulky) or 6 (super bulky) yarn. Remember, a simple yarn in a lighter color is best.

Most importantly, if you practice home, just keep going even if it's messy. It really does get better the more you can practice. See you next week!
