Tips and Suggestions

What I have taught you on this blog is just the basics of knitting, there is so much more to knitting than casting on, doing a stitch row/purl row etc. 

You can make some unbalivable things through knitting! And in this blog in time i attend to show you some of the wonders you can make!

Here are some tips for Success!

Yarn
If you are following patterns, and it says buy 4 balls of yarn to make your knitted piece, I suggest getting an extra ball of yarn just incase! 'Cause like me, you may knit very tightly, and its the most annoying thing to nearly finish but not have enough wool! 

Swap yarns
If your friends, mum or even your neighbor knit, why not swap yarns? Just say you have a ball of wool and you have used it several times and you might like to experiment with another colour, why not swap the old for the new?

Sewing up
If you want to make a piece and you need to sew bits of the knitting up, pin the pieces so its all even. Also use the same colour yarn to stitch up
