Recently i have started a knit rotation, where I have 3 weeks every Monday of knitting.The breif of this module was the create 4 Knit samples, which have to professionally presented.
I was quite excited at first, to start this rotation, as I enjoy knit. However this excitement changed quite quickly when i realized I was going to be using the Knitting machines. They looked quite scary and daunting to someone (like me) who hasn't used one before. My tutor for Knit, Kay, was very helpful and instructive, especially with the beginners. Kay made sure everyone was at the same place to start off with, so nobody was lost, which made it easier to follow.
My first day of knitting, was just really to learn how to use the machine and a few different techniques such as lace holes, changing the tension, changing the colour wool etc.
My first few samples, where I playing around with techniques and colour, really didn't go very well, most of them fell off the machine and had unwanted holes in them.
however after the first lesson was over i did start to get the hang of using the machine, I quite enjoyed it as well as to me its quite therapeutic well at least when things are going well.
