Brandon has been dying for me to teach him how to knit, so we went to Wal-Mart and got him some needles and yarn. He was so excited to learn! I taught him on Tuesday, and he finished his very first dishcloth today. He did a great job! He's already started a second one. This time I'm showing him how to make a Granny's Favorite.
Every night Brandon has to write in his journal about something he's done that day. The night I taught him he wrote about knitting, and I told him if he'd type it on the computer that I'd post it. So, here it is.
Knitting lesson with Lindy
I am learning knitting with Lindy. Lindy is teaching me. Lindy is good at hand making: knitting, hand sewing, sewing machine and cross stitch. I like knitting. I want to make clothes. I’ll give them to my family. I bought yarn and needles in Wal-mart. I picked the color. I’m making a dish cloth. I worked hard at my schoolwork so I could have my lesson with Lindy afterwards. I knitted 21 rows. I want to do this in Korea. I’ll buy more yarn and needles and then make a lot of things.
It did not me this long to finish the June Mid-Month KAL, only to post a picture of it. :) It's such a pretty pattern, and the picture doesn't do it justice!
Last but not least, I've fallen in love with another pattern... the ballband! It was so much fun to make, and I love any pattern that uses more than one color! I just can't believe it took me so long to get around to making one.

He did a really great job for his first time knitting! You must be a good teacher. BTW, I went by Michael's on Monday and they had Sugar'nCream 14 oz. for $5 each! With a coupon it was only $3! I'm hoping they'll still have some next Monday.
I have been trying to teach my niece, she isn't catching on quite as fast as I had hoped. Feel like coming to NY to help me???
You're a very good teacher Lindy, he did a great job, and its evident from his letter, and beaming smile that he really enjoys what he did, and that he thinks highly of you.
Brandon seems like a wonderful person and a joy to be around! The dishcloths are looking fabulous!
Way to go Brandon!!! Your family will LOVE all your knitted cloths...I'm sure :)
Lindy, the ballband is one of my all time favorite cloths and it is so addictive...so many possibilities :)
Good going, Brandon!! Your knitting is perfect!
I love the kal cloth! And your ballband is lovely in pink!
Lindy..... That Ball-Band Looks GREAT! It looks Like A Brick Wall.
