Week 3: Knitting

I know this has been tough, but you are going to get the hang of it!  Keep working on your knitting and help each other!

Remember:  You must record your progress on your schedule sheet and write down anything you need to bring, or need to ask me to make available for next week.

Week 2: Get Knitting!

Now that you have selected one of the tutorial sets to follow, it's time to get started knitting.  

First, roll your skein of yarn into a ball.  

Then, go back to the beginning of the tutorial and follow the steps for learning to cast on, work the knit stitch, and bind off.  

Remember to log your progress on the project tracking sheet in your folder. It's a good idea to mark the time on the tutorial where you have to stop so that you will know where to start next week.

Don't forget to track your progress on your Project Planning Sheet in your folder. Make adjustments to materials list and what you need to accomplish, if needed.

Also, watch both tutorials on knitting.  Each of these knitters has a series of tutorials.  You may want to decide to follow one, or both.
