RE: #needleworkmonday: The Dreaded Lace!
Hey @colleenthurber!! It’s good to see you today! I say go for it!! You would be a great motivational speaker as you really already are...I can see that from this post. 😉 I have noticed too when I’m out in public crocheting people just watch, ask questions or mention they wish they knew how to do it. I have told a few people here on Steemit that I will be getting some beginner crochet videos together but I just haven’t had the time. So yes I say go for it if you’re feeling it.
I have to admit as I was reading this I thought to myself “I can barely regular knit and here she is making lace knit look so easy lol!!” I lost my place a few times on my first knitting attempt and had to start over...it was very frustrating. That’s the huge difference between knitting and crocheting. It’s easier to count stitches and see where you left off as well as going back and fixing a mistake with crocheting more so than knitting. So I really appreciate those tips on not losing your place by using a stitch marker and writing down where we are in the pattern every time we put the needles down. Thanks for this lovely post today!
I wanted to make videos, too, but I am afraid that my English is not good enough. I am too nervous.
Give it a try and see how it goes!!! Don’t knock down the idea before you chance it!!! 😉
Yes, you are right. I will try :)
Yay!! Great!! 🤗😉
It's true, give it a try! I never made a video about how to do anything in knitting until today, but it seemed like the best way to demonstrate the yarn over. You already have great how-to's, I bet your videos would be super helpful!
Thanks @crosheille! Man I really have to power up my vote so I can give more than my measly .01 when someone makes a great post; I really appreciate your thoughtful comment!
Thats why I upvote your comments. My some cents are not much, but maybe it helps. You put a lot of effort in this post and answering the questions.
Thanks @creative-life! I do my best . . . hope it helps!
It’s my pleasure! No worries about that, your vote will have more power in time. You putting all of this effort into your posts and responding to comments means a great deal all in itself. 😉
I like to crochet lace, too. I find it easier than knitting lace. But I will definately try it again. This post inspired me.
P.S. if you have any specific questions or troubke spots in knitting I'd be glad to offer any advice I can! Don't be shy ☺
Maybe you could make a lace knitting video on how to knit an easy beginner pattern. So, you can show and explain how it works. You have a nice voice and clear language. The little video was good!
Thanks @creative-life! I've been daydreaming about how to make knitting a larger part of my life. I'm intrigued by pattern design but still feel intimidated by it. It's encouraging to hear that you found the video helpful!
