Don't let the opportunity to learn from your mom pass you by. I did that, and you can read all about it in my post "Knitting with Tears".

I have trouble with reading the patterns. My mom was left-handed too, but when it came to knitting, she knit right-handed. Probably her mother and grandmother forced her to knit right-handed to make it easier for them to teach her. I'd love to see those scarves!

I only learnt it after coming to live here. Since I am left handed I had to find a instructions for left handed knitting.

I get more interested in knitting a small item with a fancy detail than knitting something big like a sweater. I did close up the top, but will keep this tip in mind for another time. Thank you so much for your help. I'm going to sit down this afternoon and carefully rip it back to the decreasing rows and start again. This time I'm going to count that the cables are the same on both mittens as I go along.

I think you did great!! That cable pattern looks really difficult. (I am not a skilled knitter so I mostly knit simple items... I have never tried knitting cable pattern.) <br />Did you close the top of the mittens? If not you could try sewing the top into the shape you want from the inside.<br />Enjoy your weekend, Wendy :)<br />Hildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11224506888263486522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-65897386779571393282013-04-06T03:39:44.482-04:002013-04-06T03:39:44.482-04:00Well I don't know anything about knitting so c...Well I don't know anything about knitting so can offer any advice......but one thing I can say, don't rush, take your time.

The knitted Easter eggs are very nice. I crochet a few this year but they dont look as "soft" as knitted eggs. I think I might have to knit a few before next Easter.<br /><br />Have a great weekend,<br />Birgitta<br />Handmade and off-centeredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04938196970441674914noreply@blogger.com
