Finger Knitting Part 2: Pinterest Discovery
I have made the wonderful discovery of Pinterest this week, which has opened up a world of written and illustrated instructions on how to finger-knit the blanket of my dreams in 2 hours! Seems a bit courageous for a first-time knitter, but I can't wait to try it out.
I am hopeful that this week I can get to the store to purchase yarn and get started, but truthfully, the assignments and readings are starting to get heavy, and raising a 2.5-year-old boy alone can be rather time-consuming and exhausting, but I am trying and doing my best!
I love that the new resources I have found on Pinterest include written and image instructions. Being able to see which step I need to do now and which step is next is super helpful for me compared to the fluidness a video tutorial can have when an experienced knitter gets started. The written instructions also seem to have a lot more little tips and tricks in them than the videos do, which I personally find helpful as a beginner!
I am excited to get started on this journey making blankets, and who knows what else! I only have one question really: How on EARTH will I ever choose which colour(s) I want to use?
I love Pinterest! I think that it is a really cool source for inspiration. It does seem very courageous to try to knit a blanket in two hours! I like the tips and tricks that you included and I hope to hear if they worked throughout your blanket journey. Goodluck!

ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this post. Your reflection on using Pinterest and preferring written and visual instructions as a beginner clearly shows thoughtful awareness of how you learn best. I also appreciate your honesty about balancing school and parenting. I’m looking forward to seeing how your finger knitting project develops.
