I steeked for the first time. While I am signed up for the Craftsy class....I have not yet taken it. Instead, as I need to get this project done, I consulted on-line experts.
Eunny Jang and
Kate Davies had excellent, well-illustrated advice. What I learned on my own was to use a smaller yarn...with a contrast as I could not see what I was doing with the matching yarn....and it was big enough to distort things a bit. This could be a first-timer's problem. Now I want to be able to do this better!
Last night I cursed (think blue cloud) and nearly wept when I thought that I had destroyed the sweater. While it is not "my finest work," it is not destroyed. I got through it!
Before I do another steek on a "real" project, I want to practice. This was...unnerving. I am glad it is this far. I hope Piper will wear it!
