Stranded Knitting

I finished my pink fingerless gloves. I'm very pleased with them. Too bad it took me so long to learn to knit fingerless gloves on dpns. It's April, it's getting warmer. Figures.

Anyway, I started a new hat on dpns. This is my first attempt at stranded knitting. I would just like to say that trying to hold yarn in both my hands and use my left had to knit is just plain hard! I'm very right hand dominant. The first few rounds with the two colors felt very clumsy. I was finally directed to a wonderful website that has a video on it teaching how to do stranded knitting.The video was excellent! The lady doing the video is really good at explaining and demonstrating two color knitting. It was very helpful. Now, I understand how to do it. I understand how to hold the yarn. However, it's still difficult! I'm working on issues of keeping the tension with my left hand.

This is going to take some practice. I use hope this hat turns out good. After all the struggle and frustration, I'm going to wear this hat everyday!

More Spring pictures!



Until next time!
