It turns out, both of these skills were pretty easy to pick up. We knitted away while watching New Moon for inspiration. I promised to blog about the progress of the mitts, so here they are after day one! Tasha is using the "denim" yarn, and I'm using "milk chocolate."
Mittens: Day 1
I spent yesterday afternoon knitting with Tasha—we got a great start on our mittens! This project was especially daunting because it involves a couple of skills that I don't have yet.
The first of which is knitting cables—I've always heard they were easy, but never really believed it. The second skill I needed to learn (which Tasha and I learned together yesterday) is called Magic Loop knitting. Magic Loop is when you use one large circular needle to knit small diameter rounds, rather than using three or four double-pointed needles.
