Knit A Snood.
Important life skills to make sure you pick up:
Random collection. But the last one if the one I am most proud of on this list of skills. About five years ago, I taught myself to knit using some drawings on a little booklet. It wasn't easy. And it took about four tries to actually get the hang of what I was doing... From casting-on to the actual knitting... But I did it.
I taught myself to knit.
But only scarves.
Yes. For the longest time, all I was brave enough to try were long and wide scarves. Then, about two years ago, I decided to try knitting a snood without a pattern or instructions. I got the piece about started, and just forgot about it.
Till this week.
While here at home, I finally remembered that I hadn't finished it. So I decided to give it a try. It's pretty crudely made. I dropped a stitch while making it. And how I managed to get it closed and in a circular shape is pretty simply done... But done it is!
Here it is up.
