Activities —–
Machine knitting lace trouser panels the whole week – one pair finished !
I knitted markers into the panels to show where the pocket, crotch and waistband will be lined up with the pattern piece to be cut out – knit shrinks and warps when washed so needs to be marked to line up properly.
Post office run and food shop + making lunch for everyone
Challenges and skills learnt —–
My back hurts from knitting thousands of rows !!
To un-do a row of knitting on the machine, pull yarn to make stitches tight and then pull the yarn out of the needles, trying to make sure the stitches underneath stay on the needles.
