    I used to knit with pencils and string whenever my family was at our mountain cabin back in the 60s. I never finished anything. I just liked the experience...

    So I can't take my knitting needles into the courtroom but I can take pencils in with yarn, tape ( to make circular needle) Double duty activity with the colored pencils, coloring and knitting while I wait for the particular case to be up. I wonder if mechanical pencils will work better?

    • @ErieliKnits
      @ErieliKnits  Před 4 lety +13

      I didn't even think about using tape to make circulars! Brilliant! I have used mechanical pencils before and they don't catch the yarn nearly as much, especially once the clip is removed.

    • @amyx231
      @amyx231 Před 2 lety +3

      Dip the pencil in nail polish to avoid wood catching the yarn and color transfer from the tip. Maybe wind tape on the end to act as a stopper?

    My mom interest me in knitting, tho I wasn't that interested until now, I have this big yarn my mom got for me that I haven't use and I just thought of trying to knit and so far I understand the first part but the second was hard since I had big string, Tysm for this tutorial I might try it in class someday if I had small string -w-

    @formahnoorsaqib4567 Před 3 lety +38

    This is how it went for me:
    Takes 8 minutes trying to learn how to make a slick knot
    tangles up the string while making the first cast on
    Finally makes one cast on
    somehow undo's the first cast on while trying to make the second one
    tangles up the string again
    cries for 20 mins
    has a mental breakdown
    ends up wasting two feet of string that could actually be used by people who are good at crochet or knitting
    screams inside of pillow for 5 minutes
    cries again
    tries again the next day
    then the cycle repeats.

      At the very beginning, I pulled about 4 feet of yarn from the ball before making a slip knot. This length will vary based on the project. If you want to make a dishcloth, casting on 28 stitches is a good amount to start with.
