A weekend of firsts. . .
What an exciting weekend it has been! I had a lot of knitting firsts this weekend and I am giddy with excitement! First off I managed to seam my shapely tank. This is my first garment and first time doing mattress stitch. It was so cool to watch the stitches lining up and the seam forming. Now I just have to finish weaving in ends and do the neck and armholes. The greatest news is that it fits!! Just like it’s supposed to! I was screaming and jumping around because my first garment ever fit. I can’t wait to finish it and wear it.
Secondly I did Kitchner stitch for the first time to graft the handles of the French Market Bag which brings me to my other first. First time felting! The bag is in the washer right now. First check looked good but there was still stitch definition so I put it back in. When I get it blocked I will post pics of it.
So I’ve had a rather exciting weekend!
